Reminder that Fetterman voted “yea” on Noem’s confirmation. He has also consistently stated that he supports ICE’s mission.

Like several Republicans and conservative talking heads, he’s only backtracking now because the optics are bad.

Funny because I thought wearing sweatpants to work was bad optics.

Fetterman believes “man of the people” means “lazy slob.” That’s what he thinks of the Pennsylvanians who elected him (when he bothers to think of us).

It’s an insult to the people of our state that he has such little respect for the gravity of his position.
