Senator John Fetterman has signaled that he could reach a breaking point with the Democratic Party if Senator Chris Van Hollen is elected to Senate majority leader.

Fetterman, who has repeatedly clashed with members of his own party over Israel, suggested that Van Hollen’s potential leadership appointment would be troubling because of his criticism of the Israeli government.

Asked by Kayleigh McEnany during a Fox News interview on Saturday whether Van Hollen becoming majority leader would represent a red line that could prompt him to leave the Democratic Party, Fetterman responded: “Yeah, absolutely, it would be troubling if my caucus elects someone like Van Hollen, that has really made his name being very…hostile to Israel.”

    It sucks, when he was first was elected I thought he was a working class democrat, which is rare for the dems, honestly. Even the most left leaning ones elected recently are just upper middle class people larping as normal people and are extremely out of touch with normal people problems.

    But get is just an AIPAC fuck

    Inbe4 every lemmy fucknut comes for me, most of y’all are working class larpers. A bunch of office people acting like you know what it is like being poor and at the bottom of America.
