Sen. John Fetterman offered a message Wednesday to House Republicans considering impeaching President Joe Biden: “Go ahead, do it. I dare you.”
Speaking to reporters in his Senate office, the Pennsylvania Democrat suggested that the impeachment push by Republicans on the other side of the Capitol was meant to deflect from the mountain of legal problems facing former President Donald Trump.
“Your man has what, three or four indictments now?” Fetterman said. “Trump has a mug shot and he’s been impeached twice.”
“Sometimes you just gotta call their bullshit,” he said.
The first-term senator went on to say that a Biden impeachment "would just be like a big circle jerk on the fringe right,” and “would diminish what impeachment really means.”
Note: As pointed out by reddig33 in comments, this is an old photo. Here’s a couple examples of his new look.
He’s not feeding them. He’s call them out.
At a minimum, time they waste on this is time they can’t use to come up with novel ways to fuck over Americans
Didn’t feel like I had to reply to you, but since everyone seems to agree with you, I’d argue this is NOT how a senator should act.
The fact is HIS time is worthwhile. He needs to spend it focusing on actions that will make peoples lives better - it’s literally his job.
The entire “possible impeachment” is a red herring and engaging with them on that AT ALL is a waste of time. The fact that so many people here agree with you might be why politics is such a mess. Even you all seem to think that his job is to engage these chucklefucks. It’s kinda pathetic.
When you have a former president facing jail time and whatever circus sideshow is happening daily in the house and senate I don’t think now is the time to be nitpicking his behaviour.
It just is what modern politics is now.
It’s EXACTLY the time to be choosing your battles!
He is.
Pushing back on BS is part of his job. Having a Senator who will call BS out is what we need. Stop with the mealy mouth faux civility.
