Yesterday

I voted for and supported Fetterman and was born and raised in western Pennsylvania. Honestly have to say that Fetterman is pretty much in line with how people out this way think. Dems here outside Allegheny county are centrist and value tradition.

Fetterman is probably way more black and white about things than most though. That's the rub. Stances like his unconditional support for Israel seemingly came out of the blue. Supporting Trump's nominees shouldn't be surprising since most people believe presidents should be able to have who they want in their cabinet.

Dems should recognize that Fetterman just marches to his own drummer.

Hannity is a well-known liar and propagandist., Nonetheless, this is not the type of thing I see him making up LymphocyteLover Yesterday #78
