[Dunc]

[vapor2]

1. So willing to protect and cover up for pedophiles?

[chowder66]

18. And murderers.

[Walleye]

2. I've never heard of him jumping to the defense of any women who were the object of sexist behavior

So I don’t believe him. He’s trying to suck up I think.

[SergeStorms]

38. Some MAGAt.....

feathered his nest, is my best guess. MAGAts are experts in promising the world and deIivering nothing, though. Maybe he's getting played?

He's definitely not the Fetterman people voted for.

[FakeNoose]

42. That ... or he's been compromised and cut off at the knees

I voted for John Fetterman 4 years ago, and I won't do it again. I believe Chump may have quietly threatened to deport his wife. (She's a naturalized US citizen for many years, but that wouldn't stop Chump.)

Or maybe Chump has something else on him, I don't know what.

If Fetterman quits the Democratic Party he might as well hang it up. He will have lost his previous Dem voters, and not gained a single Repuke vote for it. I wish he'd resign NOW!

[31st Street Bridge]

58. He always was a FRAUD!

It's not the stroke.
It's not the zombie uniform.
It's not some threats against his immigrant wife.

He is a walking, talking lie. He left his York County family fortune, moved to western PA, cross-dressed as some blue-collar rube, served as mayor in the most downtrodden steel town in the county and fooled everyone. He was a stealth candidate meant to push quality Democrat Conor Lamb aside, and he succeeded.

Now, left and right alike hate this Herman Munster-like asshat. He couldn't win another election for dog-catcher here in PA.

[Nigrum Cattus]

3. everyone needs to realize why he is probably turning rightwing

his wife is an immigrant and he has most likely been threatened
with her deportation - you know, typical repug behavior. Someone
should ask him about it.

[gab13by13]

7. I thought about that but surely she is now a citizen?

I think his stroke flipped his brain from blue to red. He was a completely different person after his stroke.

I not only voted for him, I gave him money.

[DET]

12. The term 'citizen' has been redefined...

Naturalized citizens don’t count, which is why they’re rounding them up. As far as Trump and Miller are concerned, unless you’re a US born, white, hetero Republican, you’re not a ‘real’ citizen. There is no question in my mind that Fetterman’s family has been threatened, both wife and children. Whether that is what changed him into a right winger, that I don’t know.

[FakeNoose]

45. Well now you're talking about Melania Trump

Gisele Barreto Fetterman became a naturalized citizen in 2009, only a year or so after Melania did.

The difference is that Gisele Fetterman came to the US at the age of 7 with her family in 1989, and they were undocumented immigrants at the time. She now holds multiple university degrees, and she has unquestioned street cred as a progressive liberal Democrat.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gisele_Barreto_Fetterman

[lostnfound]

27. In-laws, maybe? Also, Trump threatens to "de-naturalize" people; 2 citizens were killed by ICE, many others 'detained'

Gisele is a citizen, but possibly her mother may not be, and who wants their aging mother stuck in a cold detention cell.

Even Gisele could be under threat, given Trump’s stated intentions to increase the number of people being denaturalized:
4 days ago:
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/trump-administration-working-expand-effort-strip-citizenship-foreign-b-rcna255427
December:
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/us/politics/trump-immigration-citizenship-denaturalization.html

At least 170 detentions of US citizens as of October:

[Jilly_in_VA]

57. yeah, and

she's kinda Latina to boot---Brazilian

[TBF]

8. Ah, that explains a lot - and I bet he has been threatened. nt

[W_HAMILTON]

19. He was showing signs of this before Trump was elected again.

[3825-87867]

33. He may have been threatened but I can't imagine Noem

doing anything to her or her mother. Don't care if John flipped but I wouldn't want to be in the high heel boots if ICE takes either then be on the receiving end of a 6"8" 350 pound fist who would then probably come after someone whose wife is from Slovenia and also a naturalized citizen. Plus there's always the stroke that might use "impaired judgement" in a trial.
Would you take that chance?

[Walleye]

4. Court ordered him to repair the tribute exhibit he took down in Philadelphia. Has he done it yet?

So there is a court order for him to return the deportees, hasn’t done that yet either. How can this Fetterman defend this guy, has he lost all self-respect?

[bucolic_frolic]

5. He's moving to the right as the weeks roll by

Only a matter of time before he switches parties.

[durablend]

9. Nah, he's going to be the new Sinemanchin

Enough of a spoiler to hamstring our side

[regnaD kciN]

11. Disagree...

He’ll become a Republican if/when he becomes convinced that they really can rig elections to assure victory.

[Vinca]

6. "ICE Barbie" is about the nicest thing we call her. Guess he doesn't remember some of the names the right

called him after his medical issues. For the life of me, I can't figure out why he's sucking up to Trump.

[poli-junkie]

10. Fetterman the Fraud.

[Blue Owl]

13. Fetidman

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

14. I cant stand to read articles about him

[WarGamer]

15. He's going to flip R before his next run.

[W_HAMILTON]

20. He won't win the Republican nor Democratic primary.

[DeeDeeNY]

26. Now that terms like "left media" are creeping into his vocabulary,

It's just a matter of time until he flips completely.

[WarGamer]

31. He'll be invited to an audience with Jabba and offered some paddy frogs and slave girls... then he's IN.

[Mysterian]

16. He'll be unemployed in a couple years

and his new friends will not help him out.

[BattleRow]

44. He will be an unfettered man,then.

[lostnfound]

17. I've suspected he is terrified for his wife who was DACA to be detained / deported

She came to the US as a 7 year old child and got citizenship in 2009. She seemed outspoken and lovely. My bet is that he was put under huge pressure from Trump. No one wants their wife, let alone the mother of their kids, to be imprisoned, and would any of you count on Trump not doing it?

Fetterman should have resigned and moved out of the country to protect her safety and his conscience.

I’m as angry as anyone about how he is acting now, but I think I recognize extortion / blackmail when I see it.

[Tree Lady]

35. That's it I bet they threatened him

And he caved like most husbands would to save her.

[OGBuzz]

21. Why doesn't the Featherman just switch parties already.

Better yet, resign now and run as a Republican in 2028.

[Cheezoholic]

22. Fear of his wife being deported or not, someone needs to keep an eye on his bank account n/t

[yardwork]

23. He's a huge disappointment.

[twodogsbarking]

29. He is huge and a huge disappointment. Indeed.

[LuvLoogie]

24. Would that we had a Senate leader that would call Fetterman out

for carrying water for a criminal racist regime.

I can see it now. Leadership is going to push a compromise from a 2026 middle position.

We are on our own. There are children in concentration camps.

There are children in concentration camps.

Schumer and Jefferies need to lead with this in mind.

[AloeVera]

46. Fetterman was fine with kids being incinerated in Gaza.

Kids in concentration camps is not going to faze him.

Something is wrong with his moral compass.

[appleannie1]

25. The stroke killed the part of his brain that he used to think with.

He got his motor skills back and his reasoning skills are destroyed. He no longer belongs in government. PERIOD

[Orrex]

28. I wish him the best during this long and ongoing recovery from his stroke.

[BidenRocks]

30. ICE Barbie too rough?

Let's put her face on a dildo.
Too much?
But the Obamas' as apes is fine?

Fuck you Fetterman. I want my donations back!

[Figarosmom]

32. Yeah this man is compromised.

He sounds like he is reading a script. He's scared of some threat.

I thought he had backbone. Maybe the threat of his wife and kids being deported?

He should be removed from any committees and should be encouraged to retire.

[orangecrush]

34. JFC

[MissKat]

36. Is his wife looking over her shoulder??

They've been rounding up brown-skinned folks not too far from the Fetterman's home.

Oh, that's right. His kids now go to a very ritzy very expensive school-- no more public school-- so they'll be safe.

I'm just so sad. Whatever that stroke did to him-- he really seems like a different person. He used to be on fire about numbskulls like Ice Barbie.

It doesn't matter. Whether it's the stroke or the depression meds or maybe this is how he always was...

He's not going to be elected again.

Go Conor Lamb!

[GenThePerservering]

37. His stroke burnt out his frontal cortex

His reasoning capacity went to shit and he turned into a republican.

[oldinmtdem92]

40. i think you got it

brain dead since the stroke ,resign asshat

[niyad]

39. Hmmm, if he is being threatened, what happens if he resigns,

or spills the beans? Massie made it very clear that he was being threatened.

[perdita9]

41. I am so sorry I didn't vote for Connor Lamb in the PA primary

I'd like to think it's the stroke that caused all these personality changes. We met Fetterman in person once and he seemed like a true-blue democrat

[PufPuf23]

43. Netanyahu likes Fetterman.

New Low for Fetterman: Senator Privately Urged Pardon for Netanyahu

“For someone who claims to care about hostages, going to bat for a leader who sacrificed them for his own political survival... is the height of cynicism,” said one Israeli critic.

Fetterman Writes Letter Asking Israel’s President to Pardon Netanyahu

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/fetterman-letter-netanyahu-pardon

[AloeVera]

48. Something is wrong with his moral compass.

Went to bat for Israel and war criminal Netanyahu while turning a blind eye to the murder and maiming of Palestinian kids. Now turning a blind eye to murders on American streets and kids in concentration camps. I see a pattern here.

[Skittles]

47. don't kick yourself about the vote

I'm convinced the stroke did a real number on him.

[some_of_us_are_sane]

59. I HOPE it was the stroke

because I was another asshole who voted for this FRAUD!

[GiqueCee]

49. It's worth noting...

... that everyone in that room is dressed like a grownup... except one.

[Scott Alan Swaggerty]

50. His brain has clearly been damaged

[Initech]

51. Fetterman has been compromised. What does Rupert Murdoch have on him?

[Historic NY]

52. His wife lived here undocumented for 15 years.

https://newrepublic.com/post/197831/john-fetterman-donald-trump-immigration-ice]

[samsingh]

53. he appears to be totally evil.

[BannonsLiver]

54. He's been red pilled

And the whole “his wife must have been threatened with deportation” is just a lame excuse from people who don’t understand what’s happened to him.

[republianmushroom]

55. DINO ?

[Melon]

56. Is it possible that he could switch parties while still in office?
