The officeās āmajor staff turnover,ā as one team Fetterman veteran put it, comes amid a tough hiring environment for Democratic staffers in Washington.
āI donāt find this as a surprise,ā said the former Fetterman campaign staffer, who requested anonymity to protect their livelihood. āI think the staff is probably frustrated that working in the Fetterman office means youāre just working on Israel all the time.ā
Since the October 7 attack, Fettermanās office has ignored most of the issues he campaigned on, instead turning almost all his focus toward the IsraelāPalestine conflict, according to people familiar with his office. At the same time, Fetterman has added a number of Republican donors to his roster, The Intercept reported.
Since Trump took office last month, Fetterman has become a sometime Republican ally. He was one of 12 Democrats in the Senate to support the GOPās draconian new immigration law. At times, Fetterman has been Trumpās sole ally across the aisle. He was the only Democrat to vote to confirm Pam Bondi, Trumpās nominee for attorney general who helped spread the lie that Trump won the 2020 presidential election.
Youāve heard and known the single-issue voter. Now introducing the single-issue senator.
Now just make him a single term senator.
Dudes downfall is tragic. Hero to villain speed run, and it could potentially be blamed on his stroke, although I didnāt follow him closely enough in the beginning to see if there were signs
Iām from Pittsburgh and fr fuck this guy. His stance on Israel has been consistent, it just took major events for him to double down. He has done some real questionable shit in the past, like chase down a black jogger with a shotgun then cite āanxietyā for the reason.
The āissuesā heās ignoring that he campaigned on were like āepic hoody man legalizes weedā. It just sucks our choices were between him and fucking dr. Oz
LOL
It wasnāt his stroke. He just did what Democrats always do, say really fun, progressive things during a campaign, and then rule as conservatives once theyāre in office.
