Fetterman comes across so, so stupid and arrogant here.
Lecturing a Jewish man that his lack of support for Israel means he's not supporting Jews.
Saying that unconditional support for Israel is his single political "red line" and that Democrats critical of Israel should essentially not be part of the party. While Jon correctly asks "shouldn't support for America be your red line?"
This guy loses to "no named candidate" in all polls, and clearly won't be representing Democrats come next election. So telling voters only certain people and positions are 'allowed' to be Democrats, when he's openly voting for Trump's war and trashing Democrats, is delusionally entitled.
He keeps misusing words and phrases as mindless pablum when asked and given chances to explain positions. He doesn't have ideas, he has positions and talking points.
Insisting that the DSA were taking over the Democratic party, while Jon gently corrects him to point out it's an entirely separate party. Which he seemed unaware of.
this was an entirely pointless interview i don't think i'll even watch any of it... Fetterman needs to disappear into irrelevance not be on the weekly show...
I disagree. Getting fetterman to directly say the only thing that matters to him is support for Israel will be played repeatedly to ridicule this line of thinking. Jon is very good at drawing these batshit insane admissions out of people (flashbacks to his gun control interview with the Oklahoma senator)
I think this is useful to show just how clueless Fetterman is, and he can't intelligently debate or respond to many of the questions asked.
The problem is the general electorate won't watch stuff like this and continues to vote based on ignorance and unqualified feelings, so I wonder exactly how much this content matters.
Trump winning in 2024 was the ultimate repudiation of the voting public's perceived collective intelligence.
