Fetterman to Democrats criticizing Biden: "Get your MAGA hat" | The Hill

“I don’t understand why,” Fetterman said, speaking on “Morning Joe” on MSNBC. “I don’t know what’s in it for you to do that whether you’re just chasing clout or you want to make it in the news or anything like that. But if you’re not willing to just support the president now and say these kinds of things, you might as well just get your MAGA hat, because you now are helping Trump with this.”

Man he’s looking… baaad. I gotta say though, yes he’s always been bad on Israel, but I think he got covid, had a stroke and he’s literally got a fucked up brain. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t criticize him—if he was so fucked up he should have resigned, but like he really just seems mentally ill.

Did Covid and stroke made him chase down a Black jogger with shotgun as well?

Well my comment was suggesting that he was possibly pretty mentally ill. I don’t just mean depressed—I mean like partially deranged/unhinged. I hadn’t heard about the thing you mentioned, but that would certainly fit what I was saying.

Again, I’m not saying stop criticizing the guy. He should resign and STFU. But there are people in here rooting for his “depression” to finish the job, ie off himself. And it just seems not that great, in a sub that typically projects itself as being supportive to people suffering from mental illness.

He hunted down the jogger and held him at gunpoint when he was mayor, years ago

He's just always been an asshole

Ah gotcha, I see what you were saying then. Fair enough.

Yeah but we don't have access to levers of power and are enabling a genocide. If you are at a level of power where you're helping to support an active genocide you shouldn't know happiness or safety.

I agree that given what’s happening daily in Gaza and the West Bank, people like fetterman who are cheerleading it should not receive sympathy or any form of support.

Mostly just wanted to comment on how unhinged he seems, but I agree it doesn’t diminish the real material harm he’s doing with his behavior.
