Summary
Pennsylvania Democrats are protesting Sen. John Fetterman’s growing alignment with Trump, citing his visit to Mar-a-Lago and votes for Trump nominees.
Critics, including Rep. Summer Lee and local leaders, accuse him of abandoning progressive values and failing to oppose Trump’s policies.
Some see his shift as a strategic move in a GOP-leaning state, but others compare him to former Arizona Senator Krysten Sinema’s alienation from her base.
Discontent among Democratic activists raises questions about a potential 2028 primary challenge.
Ah, the classic “politician discovers spine flexibility” story. Another one bites the dust in the grand theater of pretending principles matter until they don’t.
Remember when everyone was celebrating this guy as some sort of progressive champion? Now he’s doing the Mar-a-Lago shuffle like it’s totally normal. The speed at which these “representatives” switch scripts would give a quantum computer whiplash.
But hey, at least he’s honest about his betrayal instead of pretending to “reach across the aisle” while stabbing his base in the back. That’s progress, right?
