John Fetterman (PA-FOX) is a prime example of someone suffering from this unique type of OCD (Oblivious Complicit Disorder). Although he was elected as a progressive Democrat, he has transitioned to a new role as a reliable Republican enabler who seems to cherish his service as a traitorous MAGA flunky. Which goes to prove that you can&#8217;t always count on opportunistic pols being predictable. For instance&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70285\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Himself Confirms that He is the Most Deviant Lawbreaker in Presidential History<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Saturday Fetterman took up his post on Fox News, where he has become as regular as their paid contributors. He was interviewed by Donald Trump&#8217;s daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, who really has no business being employed by an alleged news network. Just imagine the outcry if CNN had hired Hunter Biden as a host while his father was in the White House.<\/p>\n<p>In the interview Lara prefaced her question by noting that Fetterman has been supportive of Trump with regard to strikes on Iran and voter ID. Of course he has. Otherwise, he wouldn&#8217;t have been invited to be interviewed. Then she lobs a softball, asking him what he hears from his constituents. Fetterman replies that most of what he hears is positive, then elaborates&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve seen polling where why I&#8217;m so popular with Republicans. I don&#8217;t really understand that. But I&#8217;m always gonna treat both sides with respect. We can agree on what we can, or we&#8217;re gonna disagree in a respectful way. And I&#8217;m not gonna call people like &#8216;You&#8217;re a Nazi, you&#8217;re a fascist, or you&#8217;re trying to destroy democracy,&#8217; and use those things.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"embed-x\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">REALLY? John Fetterman doesn\u2019t understand why he\u2019s so popular with Republicans?<\/p>\n<p>Maybe because he&#39;s on Fox News every f**king day defending Trump. And if he doesn&#39;t understand that, he&#39;s mentally unfit to serve. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/D5E0J99Ftm\">https:\/\/t.co\/D5E0J99Ftm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; News Corpse (@NewsCorpse) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NewsCorpse\/status\/2081322951027347947?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 26, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to believe that Fetterman really doesn&#8217;t understand why he is popular with Republicans. Perhaps it has something to do with his appearing on Fox News at least twice a week to bash Democrats and stick up for Trump. If he really doesn&#8217;t understand why that would make him popular with Republicans, then he is too mentally impaired to serve in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman went on to take a rational sounding position about disagreeing with others without being disagreeable. And he insists that he wouldn&#8217;t resort to calling his political foes names. But if he actually feels that way, why would he appear on Fox News where they regularly call Democrats terrorists and communists who are out to destroy America? Doesn&#8217;t he realize that he is validating that vile rhetoric?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to know what happened to Fetterman. He started out as a reasonable liberal representative. Then he had a stroke, followed by struggles with severe clinical depression and anxiety. Democrats came to his defense when Republicans began portraying him as cognitively disabled. But he nevertheless has embraced his GOP attackers. And of course, given his new right-wing opinions, they no longer attack him. In fact, they are trying to persuade him to switch parties.<\/p>\n<p>There is no mystery as to where this is headed. Fetterman will be primaried and lose the Democratic nomination for reelection. Hopefully his Democratic successor will win the seat in 2028. In the meantime Democrats will have to endure his betrayal. While he still claims to be a Democrat who votes more often with his party, he is doing more harm than good by cozying up to Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, Fetterman seems to enjoy dangling the possibility of party switching over the heads of his Democratic colleagues. He has become this year&#8217;s Kyrsten Sinema or Joe Manchin. But his time in that role will be brief. And Democrats will just have to win a large enough majority in November to cancel out his contrarian votes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70382\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s Scheme to Monetize Insider Trading on Truth Social is Getting Ripped By Republicans<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70378\" target=\"_blank\">LOL: Trump Posts Democratic Governor\u2019s Memo Proving He \u2018Has Zero Credibility on Election Security\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70373\" target=\"_blank\">Trump In His Own Words: To Make Military Decisions \u2018All We Do is Read the Fake News\u2019 \u2013 REALLY?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Politicians quite often are not the most self-aware individuals in American society.
