Goodbye, Hello John Fetterman

He bucks the left, irritates the right, defies definition: Is Sen. John Fetterman the answer to political polarization in America?

The amazing, ever-changing Senator John Fetterman is the same as he ever was, to hear him tell it.

Progressives might be furious with Sen. Fetterman over his unflagging support of Israel’s right to defend itself against Hamas, but since very publicly breaking with the left, Fetterman has never seemed happier.

“Fetterman charts a different path breaks with fellow Democrats in the Senate,” crowed Chad Pergram for Fox News last week.

Pergram “had the chance to sit down with Fetterman for an interview.”

“Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., cuts a different figure in the U.S. Senate,” began Pergram. “And we’re not referring to his hulking, 6-foot-7, nose tackle frame. Or Fetterman’s signature, ever-present hoodie.”

“We’re talking about Fetterman crafting a distinct image in the Senate,” he noted. “Not a ‘progressive,’ as most voters thought. A Democrat who is willing to endorse most of H.R. 2, the House’s strict border control bill. A Democrat who opposes the left wing of his party when it comes to Israel and Hamas. And a senator who, unlike most of his Democratic colleagues, skewers indicted Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J. — in the most frank terms.”
