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.

    Probably would have been able to phrase it as “nobody loves him”. Or maybe “everyone has critisms of Biden”. I guess it being harder to properly characterize what normal political support looks like since the emergence of trump 7 years ago is just another sign of how shit things have gone

      The appropriate phrase, by contrast to Trump and his followers, is “nobody worships Biden”. Many of us appreciate what he’s accomplished, and like him as President and as a person, but we don’t have a cult-like attitude of unconditional admiration and worship of the guy like MAGA do with Trump.
