dean obeidallah on fetterman: says he committed election fraud and should resign [View all]

https://substack.com/home/post/p-190011897



Pennsylvania “Democrat” John Fetterman is not just a fraud--he has committed election fraud. This is a person who ran as a progressive Democrat for the US Senate in 2022—which in fact is why he won the nomination over moderate Democrat Connor Lamb.

But now in just a few short years, Fetterman has gone MAGA. We’ve seen him in just the past two years visit Trump at Mar-A-Lago after the 2024 election, vote for anti-immigration legislation, undermine Democrats on budget talks and more. The latest examples came Wednesday when Fetterman was the only Democrat to vote with the GOP Senators to allow Trump to continue waging his illegal war on Iran with no restrictions. Add to that, Fetterman also peddled anti-Muslim bigotry lying that a well-known Muslim American journalist was in mourning because the Ayatollah was killed.

Yes, I know many point to the stroke Fetterman had in the 2022 campaign as the reason for this change. But the reason is not relevant. Fetterman ran as a Bernie Sanders loving progressive but he’s now “Trump’s favorite Democrat.”

If Fetterman had a shred of decency, he would resign from the Senate and then run in the special election that followed as a MAGA Republican. If the voters of Pennsylvania want two MAGA Senators, that is their choice. But they deserve a refund on this fraud!
