Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) said Democrats sent the wrong signal by allowing a government shutdown, arguing that Congress should reopen the government and negotiate health care policy.

“It’s, like, I can’t ever or will ever vote to shut our government down,” Fetterman said on Oct. 12 on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“It was wrong if the Republicans did these things, and I led that charge back in March, saying it’s wrong to shut us down, and we kept it open. I said in March that when September comes, I’m going to be the one guy that says it’s wrong to do this. The losers are these poor Americans here that are going to get caught in the middle of this thing.”

That dude is too logical to be a democrat senator. It wouldn't surpirse me if Chucky told him as much at some point.

Fair to say Trump negotiates with Hamas easier than Democrats?

Today we learned even cave dwelling terrorists have higher IQs than American leftists. I'm embarrassed on their behalf since they are too retarded to feel shame.

John Fetterman is an interesting case study in public perception and modern politics.

When he was running for Senate as a stroke victim Republicans called him brain damaged, incompetent, and laughed at Democrats for keeping him on the ballot. Democrats defended him at all costs, trying to refute everything Republicans said.

Ever since John has started leaning across the aisle Democrats have begun questioning his mental acuity publicly, doubting that he is fit for the job. Meanwhile, Republicans are embracing him as a sensible, level-headed, possible ally.

Like I said, interesting.

And he’s had a major stroke. That shows you how fricking ignorant that party is. Very short bench over there.

He’s like a democrat John McCain, probably not as big a POS as McCain.

It's pretty crazy that the stroke fixed his brain instead of damaging it.

There are three GOPe members that are withholding their own pay and claim they're not going to reimburse themselves for it.

So if that holds true, there are three people in Congress that have put their money where their mouth is.
