Pro-Israel. Pro-Immigration Reform. Anti-Bob Menendez.
Keystone State Senator John Fetterman continues to show he’s not as progressive as some believed —in fact, Fetterman came right out and said “I’m not a progressive” during a recent NBC interview.
“I’m not a progressive,” Fetterman told NBC News. “I just think I’m a Democrat that is very committed to choice and other things. But with Israel, I’m going to be on the right side of that. And immigration is something near and dear to me, and I think we do have to effectively address it as well.”
Fetterman says a conversation needs to be had about immigration.
“It’s a reasonable conversation — until somebody can say there’s an explanation on what we can do when 270,000 people are being encountered on the border, not including the ones, of course, that we don’t know about,” he said. “To put that in reference, that is essentially the size of Pittsburgh, the second-largest city in Pennsylvania.”
Fetterman also insists scandal-plagued Senator Bob Menendez needs to go.
“Oh, Bob Menendez…What a guy. What a guy. He’s still running his mouth against Biden right now.”
“He needs to go. I don’t understand why he can be here, having expelled Santos,” he said. “But I’m sure there might be a very innocent explanation of having gold bars in your mattress and overstuffed envelopes of cash.”
