I live in Pennsylvania and I didn't vote for Senator Fetterman, but I will say that I have the utmost respect for him as he speaks out even against his party when necessary. I don't agree with all his views but I do appreciate his candor. I am glad to see how far he has come in his recovery from his stroke. God bless you, Senator Fetterman.
I could never have imagined that John Fetterman would be the voice of reason, but he is. I'm a Republican and I would vote for this guy in a heartbeat. We need more like him.
He is a reasonable on the domestic topics but he can't get a pass from me after his ongoing support of the masacre of palestinians and putting a suit for bibi Netanyahu , an extreme right wing war criminal yet he says "im just a democrat"..
Who do you think got us into Iraq and Afghanistan? Look up the word neocon. Fetterman is a Democrat neocon. Trump said, "AMERICA FIRST!" Imagine a guy who's great-grandparents came from Italy tries to decide who to vote for based on which candidate is better for Italy. That would be ridiculous!
You can see the cognitive dissonance on his face and in his voice. He knows something is profoundly wrong but he still can't connect the dots completely.

Living in this fantasy leftoids call victimhood doesn't get the most important things done.

The Trump Administration saw significant economic growth before the COVID-19 pandemic, with 7 million new jobs created, middle-class family incomes rising nearly $6,000, and unemployment at a 50-year low of 3.5%. The job market experienced consistent growth with more job openings than hires for 40 months in a row, and a record number of Americans were employed at nearly 160 million. Income increases were reported in all metro areas across the U.S., offering greater opportunities for citizens of diverse backgrounds. The Trump Administration saw record-low unemployment rates for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, veterans, and individuals with disabilities. Women's unemployment also reached its lowest in nearly 70 years. Nearly 7 million people were lifted off food stamps, while poverty rates for African and Hispanic Americans hit record lows. Income inequality declined for two years, with a significant increase in net worth for the bottom 50% of households. Low-income and blue-collar workers experienced a 16% wage increase, and African American homeownership rose. The administration also brought jobs and industries back to the USA. The Trump Administration created over 1.2 million manufacturing and construction jobs and established policies to return supply chains from overseas. Small business optimism hit a 35-year high in 2018, and record-breaking stock market gains occurred, with the DOW surpassing 20,000 in 2017 and 30,000 in 2020. Rural America benefited from investments and infrastructure improvements, including high-speed broadband through the Agriculture Department's ReConnect Program. The administration also promoted innovative agricultural biotechnology and achieved an economic comeback by avoiding widespread lockdowns. In October 2020, a Gallup survey found 56% of Americans felt better off than four years prior. The economy grew at a record 33.1% in the third quarter of 2020, adding over 12 million jobs since the end of lockdowns. Unemployment fell to 6.7% in December from a peak of 14.7% in April. Hispanic, Asian-American and Black-American unemployment rates also dropped significantly. Small business and homebuilder confidence reached record highs, and business confidence in the U.S. surpassed other G7 and EU countries. The administration supported the economy with tax relief and by stabilizing financial markets.

Republicans are the opposite of the party of common sense. They literally stand on their ideology that anything Trump does is fine, anything someone they don't like does is evil. If Kamala Harris came out in favor of banning abortions the republican party would suddenly be in favor of them, just like how they're all suddenly all Pro-Israel despite being rife with Fourteen Words American nazis.
Fetterman is what the Democrat Party used to be. As an "extreme maga threat to democracy" I have to say I like the guy a lot now. I wish him the best in his career and health.
Isnt it nice how hes dressed black and gold and holding a rally exactly in the same place the nazis did it in the 1930’s ? And how can you deny John Kelly’s words? You guys are truly lost
@John-PaulHunt-q3z people forget that it is not strength that overcomes darkness but light ; light removes darkness entirely without force. Light will always shine, despite periods of darkness.
LOL!! You mean a sell who is and a fake who did a quick heel turn just like Sinema did. Turning his back on almost everything he campaigned on and is now a servant of a deeply racist authoritarian state in the middle of Genocide that America taxes are paying for. Fetterman wants a war with Iran that will be a worse version of the Iraq war and will cause oil prices/inflation to sky rocket while the USA fight a war on behalf of their Ultranationalist apartheid terrorist client state sponsor of terror that will only cause the USA more trouble and further tarnish America reputation abroad especially in the middle east.
I seriously like Fetterman because he is true to his values and not easily corrupted. We need more of him in civil service who truly want to serve the people not themselves. I am glad his health is doing well. I wish John a long career. The dems dropped the ball on not fighting hard enough and for years not attending to the erosion of the middle class. The dark narrative as Trump the martyr, underdog, outsider, disrupter, etc. appeals to those who government has not worked for in a long time.
@@justinzak5025 "well" is quite subjective. Imo, he's lost it, since he actively supports a gen aside and terrorist attacks, but hey, that's just me. 🤷
Lulu doesn’t have a clue. She acts like she’s interviewing a strange species of animal completely foreign to her acquired snobby elitism. Mr. Fetterman, continue being just as you are! ✌
Speaking as a person from Havertown Pennsylvania, it seems Sen. Fetterman personifies a kind of common sense honesty that is unique to Pennsylvania. This is interview proves that public spirited decency still exists in politics.
he is dumber than a bag of rocks clearly in every answer he gave here... he has quickly joined the ranks of Sinema and Manchin. Truly an asset to the United States of Israel!
I’m amazed by Fetterman’s recovery over a short time. Complete night and day in half year. At the same time I’m grateful for his outspokenness and being a voice like us.
I like Fetterman, but it's obvious that the only logical choice to vote for in this election is Donald Trump. The many podcasts that he an JD Vance have been on have eliminated virtually every possible concern about a Trump presidency. I'd very much like to not go to war, again, so I've voted for Trump.
@@scarletsletter4466Did you watch the video or pay attention to anything over the last two years? They addressed this pretty early. He had a stroke and suffered depression. He was out of the media spotlight for about two months and underwent treatment and plastic surgery. Same as Kamala when she suffered a nervous breakdown after being assigned to handle the border.
I love this Senator. Yes, depression is a real health issue and should be addressed without shame. We have no shame and get help right away when we break our arm. We must do the same when we have depression. This Senator also had strokes. I might have given up, but he didn't. He has such courage. I support the police and i support Israel. I feel like he understands us regular people. He understands our struggle.
Fetterman is not a typical politician. I don't think he told one lie during this whole interview. I'm almost inclined to believe he actually believes what he says.
Senator Fetterman, thank you so much for saying "Defund the Police" was complete bullshit. Reeducate, yes - defund, no! You are absolutely correct, it was a big gift to the Republicans. As a Democratic Californian, originally from PA, I really appreciate you. Thank you!
I don’t agree with everything, but I respect Fettermen for being straight up. Nuance is needed, bipartisan is needed, critical thinking is needed, courage is needed. He’s no Trump, but in his own way he’s not deep state. Anyway, pretty happy with this guy. Just wish I could talk to him about some of his views. Mostly the radical progressive ones.
People are tired of slick politicians and Pennsylvanians voting in Mr. Fetterman is a perfect example of this. We need more representatives like John Fetterman..
I have found myself on the political right these days, and I had serious reservations about Fetterman's health and general competence if healthy. However, he's shown himself to be a man of principle, and I now see him as a worthy opposition. Wish there were more like him to reignite a healthy and informed debate between the sides.
We need more politicians like this guy. He's direct and not afraid to say what he believes. He's not trying to hold on to power like all the other congressmen and senators.
Chump is a liar, a loser, a lunatic, and a louse. Also deceitful, destructive, deluded, and dangerous. There is NO "Us or Them" in We the People Reason or Treason. Choose one. GOP - Government of Putin @@kstrazz3552

I'm a Republican who has deep resplect for Senator Fetterman who has often impressed me with his common sense, his moderation, and his sense of fairness. Quite rare in a politician but very much appreciated.
Being a republican and from Pa, even I find he’s interview honest and from the heart. If the rest of the party had the courage to speak the truth, this country wouldn’t be so divided.
What "truth" is he speaking, exactly? He's trying to hold onto a populist position to stay in office. He is, in fact, betraying his own party by edging into Sinema territory. I loved this guy, and find this heartbreaking.
@@SuperRobertoClemente I hate it when politicians are able to stake out positions for themselves and not be shills for their party. Bro the reason we're struggling to win it's because we don't know how to appeal to people who aren't strictly Urban. Do you want to have a majority or have all good little squad members and never win the rust belt?
@@danielcollins247 Can you name a single working-class policy that he is proposing that is an improvement over the centrist Dem plank? Biden is a pro-union, protectionist president who has invested billions in US manufacturing. All that Fetterman is doing here is capitalizing on discomfort with women and brown folks asserting themselves in the party-- what you tellingly call the "good little squad." That's not the Rust Belt-- it's just sexists and homophobes who can't enlighten themselves. Plenty of working-class people are secure enough in themselves to be okay with women or Black leaders.
Regardless of the cheeky, cliche, loaded interrogation; Having never previously been exposed to extensive reasonings of Senator John Fetterman.. this man makes a hell of a lot of fundamental, straight-up, sense... respect. 👌👍
He may be a Dem, but he’s one of the good guys. We disagree on a lot, but he’s not a whacko! I misjudged him and am truly sorry for that. I’m Mega MAGA, but I have a lot of respect for John Fedderman.
He would never support someone like tRump. He is much too intelligent. I am a lifelong Democrat, like Fetterman. I understand how fetterman feels. And he articulated how much he fears a tRump win.
Interesting. He certainly didn't give the interviewer the answers she wanted! It's heartening to see how well he is progressing after his stroke, that gives hope to other people.
I will say one thing about Fetterman. Even though he is wrong about Netenyahu, he believes what he is saying. At least Fetterman is honest. The Israel issue is way more complex than Fetterman knows and has been for generations. We must support our allies if we are to be trusted, but their is a line we should not cross when they commit war crimes.

She doesn't know what to do with him and is not able to pigeon hole him. He is such a non -typical Politician in saying what he really feels irrespective of the outcome. He must be a real headache for Dems especially the extremes in the Party.
I’d vote for him in a heartbeat if for no other reason than he thinks for himself and doesn’t follow the leader. We need more people like him in Congress.
@@kstrazz3552 Were they supposed to lie down after what Hamas did to Israel on October 7? Are you crazy or do you work for Russia's Internet Research Agency?
This interviewer was incredibly biased. Fetterman is a good person doing tool things for us. This is especially rare in politics. I absolutely appreciate his approach and the interviewer failed to make the most of this interview.
I disagree with the senator on many things, but I agree with him on things as well. This seemed more like an open and honest conversation than an interview. He gives the impression that he is willing to work with opponents on things where they have common ground. That is unique in the Democrat party in 2024. As a Libertarian I find that refreshing.
Will you accept the outcome of this election? Trump: Only if I win. And that's the fucker who'll save your republic...same one Benjamin Franklin was talking about outside of the Constitutional Convention of September 17, 1787!?
We have a PROVEN, "SUCCESS", track record with *TRUMP* , contrary to the LAMBASTING media and POLITICS ‼️ Repeat *"PROVEN"* ‼️ LATINOS PARA *TRUMP* 2024 ‼️🇺🇸✊
Why did Lulu Garcia-Navarro switch from curious & open-minded interviews on First Person, which I thoroughly enjoyed, to the close-minded & adversarial style on The Interview? It feels more like The Interrogation.
Newsflash to Kathy no they don’t ! That’s why they nominated a congenital lying weirdo like Tim Walz instead of the eminently qualified Josh Shapiro that probably would have given them the state. But you’re party has gone full on antisemitic and he’s JEWISH !
The interviewer went on and on about Israel/Gaza: m’am, your angle & personal opinion was crystal clear & it really did you a disservice as a professional. That’s not at all how this video was titled/labeled, either.
He does? I'd love to know what he's done for us besides throw his full throated support behind Netenyahu and still complain about Defund the Police 4 years after the slogan was last mentioned by anyone. He's stuck in a GOP time warp from 2020 and hasn't helped PA that I've seen.
I would love to have been a fly on the wall when the party elders forced Biden out and selected Kamala to be the nominee. That must have been a crazy discussion amongst the power elite.
She’s indicative of the NYC media. These are people that almost always only see the rest of NYC from the backseat of an Uber/limo while on their way to the airport, or out to Long Island, etc. There’s nothing wrong with what she said except how she said it. She snapped at him like they were on a date. She strikes me as the type of person who stores her artwork at UOVO, or is friends with people who do.
Of course Trump is stronger than ever? Why wouldn't he be? More and more people keep jumping on the Trump Train, and very few people are jumping off. All aboard!!
I am a conservative, and I will vote for Trump. However, I like and respect Fetterman for his clarity and for cutting through the fog of spin. He holds the kinds of positions I did before leaving the Democrat Party. I agree with him on Israel and his views on the border. In fact, I agree with much of what he says here, but I disagree that Biden was a good president and that Harris is running a good campaign.
Trump wants to see the end of democracy. "Nobody needs to vote in 4 years". Can only mean one thing. Total dictatorship. He's revengefull and power hungry.
Over 400 of his supporters have served prison time for crimes on Jan. 6. Advisors and family begged him to act for 3 hours, but he just watched the violence on TV. Was he giving the rioters time to find Mike Pence?
He’s a Senator for Gods sake. He looks like a degenerate. Have some respect for the office. I’m not saying he has to wear a suit and tie but how about a pair of dress pants or khakis and a Polo shirt? It’s hard to take him serious when he looks like he just rolled out of bed. Dress for success.
I’m not a democrat but this was a refreshing conversation. I didn’t agree on all things as he obviously has to say certain things for his party but what a refreshing conversation. Very respectful great questions Watched the entire thing as it was such a fantastic interview to see someone else’s insight. He’d be dangerous if the Democratic Party heard him. Very relatable and approachable I see now why he won. Very down to earth and feel like he understands the middle class. If only he’d change parties lol
It looks as if I was too hasty in my judgement of a man who had just had a stroke. Lesson learned. Fetterman might just be an old school democrat - one of the real ones.
I am extremely impressed with John Fetterman. He has a very intelligent clear thought process, I am a lifelong Democrat who agrees with him whole heartedly.
Goosestep guy you are scum.. this is a decent man That does Not belong in the democrat party. John is not a koolaid drinker. This female is a hopeless dem lib ideologue
Yes I am Wondering why he hasn't come onto the Side that Gives Us choices ! Come on Mr Honorable Fetterman $ you are More American than THEY thought you were ! Yup you a Patriot 😎 no matter what side you are on I'll always root for you and God Bless on your Recovery ! Night n Day !
Guy had a stroke and yet he speaks better than most politicians, no word salad or circle speech here.
Yet he spews a genocidal zionist message of unadulterated hatred.
How they made fun of his stroke says so much about society as a whole...
I live in Pennsylvania and I didn't vote for Senator Fetterman, but I will say that I have the utmost respect for him as he speaks out even against his party when necessary. I don't agree with all his views but I do appreciate his candor. I am glad to see how far he has come in his recovery from his stroke. God bless you, Senator Fetterman.

Fetterman wants a war with Iran that will be a worse version of the Iraq war and will cause oil prices/inflation to sky rocket while the USA fight a war on behalf of their Ultranationalist apartheid terrorist client state sponsor of terror that will only cause the USA more trouble and further tarnish America reputation abroad especially in the middle east.
This is one of like three Democrats can actually listen too. Even after the strroke he's more intelligent than 99% of his party.
No he don't LMAO
he suffered brain damage, not the own you think it is
Yes because
"They are eating the cats and dogs"
and "California wildfires are started by jewish space lasers" is so much better to listen to.
@@luminousdragon😂 what on earth
He lied about who he was and what he stood for to win an election. This guy is the antithesis of authentic.
Fetterman is definitely not a Conservative, but he's also definitely not a Progressive. My respects.
god forbid we should progress. I bet you've given up toilet paper as a believer in non-progress.
I seriously like Fetterman because he is true to his values and not easily corrupted. We need more of him in civil service who truly want to serve the people not themselves. I am glad his health is doing well. I wish John a long career. The dems dropped the ball on not fighting hard enough and for years not attending to the erosion of the middle class. The dark narrative as Trump the martyr, underdog, outsider, disrupter, etc. appeals to those who government has not worked for in a long time.
He is completely corrupted. He was threatened by AIPAC and allows aipac to write his speeches and statements.
Thank you John. I like your views and it's nice to know that you are a man of principle
Im impressed on his recovery. He seems like he's doing well.
Piles of AIPAC cash helps.

Lulu doesn’t have a clue. She acts like she’s interviewing a strange species of animal completely foreign to her acquired snobby elitism. Mr. Fetterman, continue being just as you are! ✌
She is part of the evil, corrupt #DeepState establisment.
She embodies the problem with progressives. Exhibited well in this interview. Disdain for anything deemed not progressive. Anything complex is impure.
He sounds more like a moderate Republican of old, which I would support today. All the good moderates got Trumped out of the Grand Old Party.
Senator Fetterman is a hero and role model. Thank you sir.
A hero? For what...
Lol,please get help....
@paulscountry456 hey! Even retawds can be heros 🤣
Trump 2024.
He is a scam artist
Speaking as a person from Havertown Pennsylvania, it seems Sen. Fetterman personifies a kind of common sense honesty that is unique to Pennsylvania. This is interview proves that public spirited decency still exists in politics.
I dont think he fears Trump but he just see's reality and respect him and what her perceives the people think of him.
To bad that Fetterman has neither common sense or honesty given that he a bigoted sell out that to bigoted war mongers that support Genocide.
he is dumber than a bag of rocks clearly in every answer he gave here... he has quickly joined the ranks of Sinema and Manchin. Truly an asset to the United States of Israel!
Hopefully NOT UNIQUE to PA.! It used to be part of the American character.
he is a fraud and a liar and in bed with AIPAC
I’m amazed by Fetterman’s recovery over a short time. Complete night and day in half year. At the same time I’m grateful for his outspokenness and being a voice like us.
I like Fetterman, but it's obvious that the only logical choice to vote for in this election is Donald Trump. The many podcasts that he an JD Vance have been on have eliminated virtually every possible concern about a Trump presidency. I'd very much like to not go to war, again, so I've voted for Trump.
What did fetterman recover from? She said he had a mental health problem so was he bipolar or had alcoholic relapse or what happened?
@@scarletsletter4466Did you watch the video or pay attention to anything over the last two years? They addressed this pretty early. He had a stroke and suffered depression. He was out of the media spotlight for about two months and underwent treatment and plastic surgery. Same as Kamala when she suffered a nervous breakdown after being assigned to handle the border.
"I’m amazed by Fetterman’s recovery over a short time", yeah, it almost seems fake don't it?, ) : ?
@@Eagle288Wow, wow, wow. Do you even know what Trump stands for? Do you know what MAGA means ? Please explain.
I love this Senator. Yes, depression is a real health issue and should be addressed without shame. We have no shame and get help right away when we break our arm. We must do the same when we have depression. This Senator also had strokes. I might have given up, but he didn't. He has such courage. I support the police and i support Israel. I feel like he understands us regular people. He understands our struggle.
No it’s not. Why are depressed people not in other countries as much? It’s a choice. You’re not being grateful
@@WealthAdaptation Depression is a choice ?
@@Susan-lf2hl most people would not be depressed if they had $20 million. You have a choice to work on yourself and try to reach a great life.
Fetterman is not a typical politician. I don't think he told one lie during this whole interview. I'm almost inclined to believe he actually believes what he says.
His whole candidacy was a lie

Senator Fetterman, thank you so much for saying "Defund the Police" was complete bullshit. Reeducate, yes - defund, no! You are absolutely correct, it was a big gift to the Republicans. As a Democratic Californian, originally from PA, I really appreciate you. Thank you!
I don’t agree with everything, but I respect Fettermen for being straight up. Nuance is needed, bipartisan is needed, critical thinking is needed, courage is needed.
He’s no Trump, but in his own way he’s not deep state. Anyway, pretty happy with this guy. Just wish I could talk to him about some of his views. Mostly the radical progressive ones.
Respect to Mr. Fetterman, a person with rare moral clarity on matters domestic and international.
People are tired of slick politicians and Pennsylvanians voting in Mr. Fetterman is a perfect example of this. We need more representatives like John Fetterman..
I have found myself on the political right these days, and I had serious reservations about Fetterman's health and general competence if healthy. However, he's shown himself to be a man of principle, and I now see him as a worthy opposition. Wish there were more like him to reignite a healthy and informed debate between the sides.
We need more politicians like this guy. He's direct and not afraid to say what he believes. He's not trying to hold on to power like all the other congressmen and senators.
ya he's just saying exactly wat Israel wants how brave.......please don't vote you dont know anything clearly.

I'm a Republican who has deep resplect for Senator Fetterman who has often impressed me with his common sense, his moderation, and his sense of fairness. Quite rare in a politician but very much appreciated.
Being a republican and from Pa, even I find he’s interview honest and from the heart. If the rest of the party had the courage to speak the truth, this country wouldn’t be so divided.
What "truth" is he speaking, exactly? He's trying to hold onto a populist position to stay in office. He is, in fact, betraying his own party by edging into Sinema territory. I loved this guy, and find this heartbreaking.
Please say it isn't so 😂😆😆 Republicans 😂😆😆😆
Your comment is literally divisive. Ironic.
@@SuperRobertoClemente I hate it when politicians are able to stake out positions for themselves and not be shills for their party. Bro the reason we're struggling to win it's because we don't know how to appeal to people who aren't strictly Urban. Do you want to have a majority or have all good little squad members and never win the rust belt?
@@danielcollins247 Can you name a single working-class policy that he is proposing that is an improvement over the centrist Dem plank? Biden is a pro-union, protectionist president who has invested billions in US manufacturing. All that Fetterman is doing here is capitalizing on discomfort with women and brown folks asserting themselves in the party-- what you tellingly call the "good little squad." That's not the Rust Belt-- it's just sexists and homophobes who can't enlighten themselves. Plenty of working-class people are secure enough in themselves to be okay with women or Black leaders.
Regardless of the cheeky, cliche, loaded interrogation; Having never previously been exposed to extensive reasonings of Senator John Fetterman.. this man makes a hell of a lot of fundamental, straight-up, sense... respect. 👌👍
He may be a Dem, but he’s one of the good guys. We disagree on a lot, but he’s not a whacko! I misjudged him and am truly sorry for that. I’m Mega MAGA, but I have a lot of respect for John Fedderman.
I'm an Independent, that have voted Republican.....Fetterman is a good man..a Genuine good man!
Dont fear my brother….there is plenty of room for you in the MAGA train!!!!!
All the best Republicans used to be Democrats.
Exactly 💯
He would never support someone like tRump. He is much too intelligent. I am a lifelong Democrat, like Fetterman. I understand how fetterman feels. And he articulated how much he fears a tRump win.
Eww
No fear for the path to peace 💯🗽
John Fetterman has gained a lot of Independent support since being elected.
Interesting. He certainly didn't give the interviewer the answers she wanted! It's heartening to see how well he is progressing after his stroke, that gives hope to other people.
New York Times lost the meaning of true journalism many years ago
I am a moderate Republican and I respect Fetterman. He is a good guy.
God bless John Fetterman, he definitely had Jesus intervention over his life. So happy for his health recovery. I like his common sense.
NYT is a propaganda rag. Fetterman isn't bad, has some common sense.
What a huge man with a huge heart ❤️ and huge,important opinions. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you Senator Fetterman. Bless you and your family sir.
Fantastic interview I’ve long admired John Fetterman from here in the UK
So refreshing to see a man speak his mind unhinged and dropping truth bombs after truth bombs
My very bright brother is recovering from a stroke and adaptive tools are helping. Thanks for sharing your work to recover.
I will say one thing about Fetterman. Even though he is wrong about Netenyahu, he believes what he is saying. At least Fetterman is honest. The Israel issue is way more complex than Fetterman knows and has been for generations. We must support our allies if we are to be trusted, but their is a line we should not cross when they commit war crimes.

This interviewer was incredibly biased. Fetterman is a good person doing tool things for us. This is especially rare in politics. I absolutely appreciate his approach and the interviewer failed to make the most of this interview.
She asked soft questions and let him talk at length. What exactly would be "unbiased" in your opinion?
I disagree with the senator on many things, but I agree with him on things as well.
This seemed more like an open and honest conversation than an interview.
He gives the impression that he is willing to work with opponents on things where they have common ground. That is unique in the Democrat party in 2024.
As a Libertarian I find that refreshing.
Any one that would stand up for our constitution and our freedom in the face of communism ! Would be popular in the eyes of Americans !
Your comment is what MAGA is all about!
Go Trump & save America from those failed Democrats policies! Amen!
Just as one who gloats about grabbing your mama's genital? No?

Why did Lulu Garcia-Navarro switch from curious & open-minded interviews on First Person, which I thoroughly enjoyed, to the close-minded & adversarial style on The Interview? It feels more like The Interrogation.
Newsflash to all the MAGA that are watching this interview. The vast majority of Democrat have views that match exactly with John's.
Newsflash to Kathy no they don’t ! That’s why they nominated a congenital lying weirdo like Tim Walz instead of the eminently qualified Josh Shapiro that probably would have given them the state. But you’re party has gone full on antisemitic and he’s JEWISH !
Where are they?
Who are they?
Adam Schfit? Chuck Shumer? Kamala Harris?
I wish that were true. Only fetterman and mansion stood against pressuring Israel into premature 2 state negotiations. 90% of dems are weenies

I’m pro Trump and I would welcome Fetterman to the dark side. He’s not buying any of this crap from the chattering classes. Good for him.
It's amazing that he could recover from a stroke. Very useful to see a public figure suffer through this.
Very selfish to call him " useful" even if he is a Democrat, he isn't as bad most of them
The interviewer went on and on about Israel/Gaza: m’am, your angle & personal opinion was crystal clear & it really did you a disservice as a professional. That’s not at all how this video was titled/labeled, either.
I love this Man. He is the best . He really cares about people, and specifically the people of pennsylvania. What an honest man .
He does? I'd love to know what he's done for us besides throw his full throated support behind Netenyahu and still complain about Defund the Police 4 years after the slogan was last mentioned by anyone. He's stuck in a GOP time warp from 2020 and hasn't helped PA that I've seen.
I hate his guts, and he belongs in the GOP with all the other racist trash

She’s just being honest tho!
I mean she really doesn't look like she would know lol
That elitist attitude of hers is probably why Trump will win Pennsylvania.
She’s indicative of the NYC media. These are people that almost always only see the rest of NYC from the backseat of an Uber/limo while on their way to the airport, or out to Long Island, etc.
There’s nothing wrong with what she said except how she said it. She snapped at him like they were on a date.
She strikes me as the type of person who stores her artwork at UOVO, or is friends with people who do.
Of course Trump is stronger than ever? Why wouldn't he be? More and more people keep jumping on the Trump Train, and very few people are jumping off.
All aboard!!
I am a conservative, and I will vote for Trump. However, I like and respect Fetterman for his clarity and for cutting through the fog of spin. He holds the kinds of positions I did before leaving the Democrat Party. I agree with him on Israel and his views on the border. In fact, I agree with much of what he says here, but I disagree that Biden was a good president and that Harris is running a good campaign.
Trump wants to see the end of democracy. "Nobody needs to vote in 4 years". Can only mean one thing. Total dictatorship. He's revengefull and power hungry.
Fetterman is authentic and represents exactly where the Dems have to go. Closed captioning realtime, holy crap, my wife and I need this! CC life!
Who would’ve thought? I’m very proud of him for just being open and talking like a real human being and not like most of the Democrats.
