Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) on Tuesday feigned a shocked reaction when asked about Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) announcement that he would direct House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
“Oh my god, really?” Fetterman said, raising his hands to the side of his head, when asked by an NBC journalist about the McCarthy news.
“Oh my gosh, you know, oh, it’s devastating,” Fetterman continued, before laughing audibly.
“Ooo, don’t do it. Please don’t do it! Oh, no! Oh, no,” he added, before walking off.
As Lt. Gov he put a pride flag and a weed flag hanging on the balcony outside his office window, which is right at the front of the PA Capitol. When Republicans passed legislation forbidding any flags except the state and US flags flying over the capitol his response was “They’re not flying they’re hanging.”
He didn’t use the Lt. Governor’s residence in Harrisburg, but since it has a big pool he found some kids’ groups who could use it during the summer.
A bridge falls down in Pittsburgh and this fuckin Yinzer goes out in his finest Pennsylvania tuxedo to talk to the president about it.
I’m so goddamn proud to have him as my Senator.
Honestly, I’m kinda jealous.
We need more like him- everywhere. Dude actually cares. Even most dems don’t really care about their specific constituents like that.
He cares so much about everyone that when PA was talking about changing marijuana access he went on a statewide listening tour to all sixty-seven counties, even ones like Potter and Tioga counties where the deer outnumber the people and nearly all of those people vote Republican.
His campaign slogan was “Every County. Every Vote.” He really wants to represent everybody in PA, not just the Philadelphia suburbs.
He cares and he doesn’t play the same bullshit equivocation games that the rest of the Dems play. The GOP is full of screaming gibbons that offer nothing of substance and therefore are to be ignored and ridiculed until they can discuss the real problems like adults
I really appreciate him for being very honest about mental health.
