During a recent CNN interview with Dana Bash, Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman revealed he’s experienced more hatred and vitriol from critics on the left side of the aisle.
Fetterman made the comments while promoting his new book Unfettered.
“It’s just been my personal experience on this thing. And when I asked my digital team … which platform is the harshest and most personal, they said Bluesky,” Fetterman told Bash.
“The difference is, the right would say rough things and names … but the left would want me to die or cheer for my next stroke and say things like, ‘Why couldn’t depression have won?'” Fetterman said, referencing his struggles with depression.
“People are … literally cheering for a stroke and I don’t know the place that comes from,” Fetterman said.
