Democrat Senator John Fetterman appeared on the Sean Hannity show on Wednesday night and was asked why so many Democrats are silent in the face of the radical DSA types taking over their party.
According to Fetterman, it’s because they are afraid to speak out. This tracks.
This is why when people like Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries and other top Democrats are asked about what is happening to their party, they dodge and deflect.
Transcript via Overton News:
Senator John Fetterman says the reason he’s the ONLY Democrat willing to speak out against the socialist takeover of his party because the rest are cowards:
“They’re afraid of them.”
HANNITY: “Why is the silence so deafening among your other Democrats?”
FETTERMAN: “Well, I mean, they’re afraid of them, honestly.”
“I mean, they can say that in politics, you can define what you’re afraid of is if you’re unwilling to criticize them.”
“I think it’s entirely appropriate. I think it’s a responsibility as a Democrat to call this out.”

During the same appearance, Fetterman went after Bernie Sanders for the same reasons.
Via Overton News:
FETTERMAN: “But I would like to remind everybody watching right now, you know, Bernie Sanders will NEVER represent ANY more than 640,000 people in Vermont.”
“That’s all he’s ever done and he ever will do.”
“You know, he’s never won an actual competitive election.”
“And now why can’t…you know, stop giving me lectures on how to win.”
“Bernie’s not flipping seats. He is helping install volatile and dangerous kinds of candidates that will put Democratic seats at risk.”
“I’ve flipped seats. He’s never done that.”
“I’m tired of his lectures overall.”
“And now he claims that he’s not a member of the Democratic Party.”
“You know, why can’t the DSA people just…they should just run as their own party.”
“I think it’s important to remind people who is driving a lot of this conversation.”
Watch:
This should be a watershed moment for the Democratic Party.
Senator John Fetterman — one of the last sane voices left in the party — just cut 84-year-old career socialist Bernie Sanders down to the bone for helping to destroy the Democrats from within.

Once again, Fetterman is the most reasonable member of his party.
