Many of us never would have guessed it all that long ago, but Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) seems to be becoming one of the few sane voices in the Democratic Party, even if he does generally walk around dressed like he’s headed to the gym. He’s vocally pro-Israel, regularly takes verbal shots at Hamas supporters, and now, in a forum on border security, he called out his own party.
Both Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman and GOP Sen. Dave McCormick spoke in a bipartisan forum about the importance of border security, with Fetterman going so far as to call out his own party on the issue.
“I’ve kind of, I’ve lost some support in my party. I thought the border was really important, and our party did not handle the border appropriately,” Fetterman told “Fox News Sunday” host Shannon Bream during a FOX Nation presentation of The Senate Project series on Monday.
“Look at the numbers, 267,000, 300,000 people showing up at our border. And, you know, we can all agree that’s roughly the size of Pittsburgh. Now, that’s unacceptable. And that’s a national security issue. And that’s chaos. So a secure border, being very pro-immigration, that’s who I am as a Democrat.”
That’s who he is as a Democrat, and in that, he pretty much stands alone. And this isn’t the only issue where Senator Fetterman is at odds with his party.
“What happened yesterday in Boulder? It’s astonishing,” Fetterman said, reacting to what the FBI is calling a terrorist attack against a pro-Israel group in Boulder, Colorado, over the weekend.
“You know, the kinds of, the rank antisemitism, it’s out of control. And for me and as my friend just pointed out, this is just rampant across all the universities for all of these places, too. I mean, we really need to call it what it is. And now and for me, politically, being very, very firmly on the side of Israel, that kind of put parts of my party at odds for that.”
We all remember a smiling Senator Fetterman waving a little Israel flag while walking past a crowd of shouting Hamas supporters. It’s highly probable that the Senate Democrats’ Supreme Overlord, Chuck Schumer (D-NY), probably had a sharp thing or two to say to Senator Fetterman.
But the Pennsylvania Senator doesn’t seem too worried about that.

Senator Fetterman has had his health issues; shortly after his election to the Senate, for a time, it wasn’t at all clear he was going to be able to stay in office. He’s doing better now, and he’s one of the few sane voices in the Democratic Party. He’s no supporter of President Trump, he’ll never wear a MAGA cap, and most of us here will never agree with him on a wide variety of issues. But at least he does seem to realize the importance of our nation’s security, the importance of maintaining our borders, and he has a pretty good grasp of the horrendous rise of antisemitism on American college campuses – and elsewhere.
The Democratic Party as a whole, right now, seems to have approval ratings approaching those of toenail fungus. Senator Fetterman, for all our disagreements with him on a host of issues, gets a few big key things right. His colleagues should be listening to him.
Editor’s Note: The Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject its globalist agenda.
