I don't know who started it, but he is much more like a Bill Clinton than anywhere near a Fetterman. It's a ridiculous rumor and one that we shouldn't be giving credence to on DU.

Even his origin story is similar to Clinton's with the single mother, his academic prowess at UT and Harvard. If you want to compare him to someone there's your parallel.
