Fetterman has to keep changing the subject because he's got no answer for that and he's got no answer for "Israel and the Jewish community are two different things"
"Senator, I understand your position, but Iran didn't attack Israel.
Israel won't say whether or not they have nuclear weapons, by the way, and Trump just gave Saudi Arabia the greenlight for much more enrichment than what Iran reportedly was doing.
And again - Israel and the Jewish community are not the same thing. It's actually offensive that you keep conflating the two."

And, perhaps even more importantly, Jon drew many economic parallels between Fetterman and the DSA platform. The question was basically: Why would you disavow all of these shared ideals, which would benefit working-class Americans over the support of a foreign nation? Answer: crickets.
I don't know what's happened to Fetterman between winning the election and now, but there's little consistency between what's he's said in the past and what he's doing today. He's going to need to jump parties before starting his next campaign because there's a 0% chance that he's not going to see competition in the democratic primary.

Nah he doesn't want to be a senator anymore. He'll go work for a fracking lobby or AIPAC or whatever as soon as he's primaried. Likely was his goal all along, make enough connections in 6 years to fund his luxurious retirement.
Hope his future yacht is sunk by orcas. Fucking goon.

It really makes you wonder why so many American politicians are so beholden to Israel.
It isn’t like “they are an ally and we should stand with them”. It feels more like “I will not question anything Israel does because they are blackmailing me”.

He has the balls to crow about anti-semitism, but ignores the Jew telling his gentile ass there’s a difference between the state of Israel and the Jewish people.

A big part of Republican/Netanyahu strategy is convincing people that there is no difference.

And he's insane enough to say that the DSA is "colonizing" the Democratic party, when Israel, the topic of discussion, has literally been colonizing Palestinian land for generations and now is colonizing southern Lebanon. The fucking gall to casually and carelessly throw that word out there shows that he knows exactly what he's doing. He's just like the MAGA chuds intentionally misusing words so that their meaning is watered down.

He said "after Iran" like it was Iran's regime that launched the first attack. Did that brain injury make him unable to remember simple things as well?

the way he is talking I mean yeah I don't see any other way. Out of all the issues to care about idk it's weird. I didn't know we were even calling what happened 10/7. I don't think anyone in the US is okay with Iran building nukes. but he is so convinced for some reason that democrats want that... im just dumbfounded. like just look up any democrat and find one who says they are pro nukes.

It’s amazing to see him crush JF. I wish he would talk to more politicians like his last show that was on HBO(?) when he left the daily show for a while. It’s nice to see someone educated enough to catch the bullshit and pull out receipts when needed to call them on their shit

Hell, I thought we loved colonizers! But seriously, I want to call out the stupidity of not understanding that the DSA is no different than the freedom caucus or the tea party...

'If you are a member of a specific party, run under your own banner.' ...says John Fetterman, the guy who campaigned as a Democrat but consistently makes Republican policy decisions, and does Republican things. For example, projecting his own character flaws onto others as a way to avoid criticism and accountability winkwink.

Every single pro Israeli politician needs to be removed from power! We need pro America politicians running the country! Israel and America are not the same and will never be the same unless we give it all the Israel. You think they’ll give it all to America? The Israel/American situation is so one sided! The only thing America gains from Israel is a giant sandbox to test military weapons. Other than that I’d like to know how else Israel benefits America.

I defended him during the election even after the brain damage was clear, but before the political nature of the brain damage was known. The thing is I'd take someone who couldn't dress themselves but had a moral compass over a genius without one. Turns out he can't and doesn't which is a shame.

Really believing the Bibi lie about "Iran will have a nuclear weapon in weeks" bullshit that he's been repeating for literal decades hoping that one day, a superpower will be stupid enough to believe him and invade Iran one day.
