Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) remains one of the few rational voices on the left still capable of looking at his party’s political reality.

In his latest barbed criticism of the Democratic Party, including himself, Fetterman took a swipe at the effort in recent years to eliminate the filibuster in the Senate.

In 2022, Sinema and Manchin, both former Democrats, voted with the Republican party to block Democrats from preserving the 60-vote threshold. At that time, Fetterman was against their effort and said the filibuster was blocking Democrats from enacting legislation backed by their constituents. He now says the measure protects the voice of the minority.

“We have the risk of if we lose the filibuster, then the rights of the minority — whether that will be Democrat or Republican minority — would have effectively little to no voice,” Fetterman said. “And if we become a smaller version of the House, that would have profound ramifications for the United States, and that would be dangerous,” he told Miller, who is the wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.

This week alone, Fetterman accused the Democratic base of becoming “increasingly anti-American.” And almost worse, Democrats say, he was the only Senate Democrat to oppose legislation that would stop the war in Iran.

In a recent interview with conservative commentator Sean Hannity, Fetterman defended Trump’s remarks about Iran, arguing that Trump’s comments were “clipped.” He stated that Trump had said something that got clipped — meaning, “I’m not thinking about American people financially” — but what he really meant was, “I’m really thinking that we can’t ever let Iran build a bomb.”

All of this comes a couple of weeks after he told Democrats to get over their “Trump derangement syndrome” and agree to build a White House ballroom.

“I think Uncle Fester is a sellout and a fraud, and I look forward to helping do my part to retire him in two years,” Democratic strategist Adam Parkhomenko said.
