Fetterman...Does it seem like there is some humbling in what he is saying?

Does it seem like there is some humbling in what he is saying? Could some of our banned and unbanned know-it-alls take a lesson?

He essentially said "I think I got this part of it wrong and I'm trying to learn from it." Imagine if more of our politicians said that.

There are things I disagree with him on, but he just earned a bit of respect from me for admitting -in committee- that he made a mistake.

He could have asked him the question, do you now admit it came from the lab?

Why waste the time? We all know his answer for every question when he's under oath:



Instead of just adding another useless question to the dog & pony show, he took only the time to say he screwed up, hopes we all do better if there's a next time and then gave up the remainder of his time instead of the bloviating we get from so many elected officials in such circumstances.

It provides context for historians, if nothing else. 200 years from now you won't have someone asking, "Well, did anyone ask him that?"

Fetterman is a bought and paid for AIPAC toadie who will have to change party affiliation to give himself a prayer of staying in congress.

Considering he answered everything with the same mantra, I doubt any historian looking at this would ask that question because they would quickly understand that he was going to answer every question the same way.

I doubt his constituents have a problem with him considering they voted him in after a stroke using technology to speak. Somehow now it’s the joos.

Very measured and nonpartisan. He calls balls and strikes.

Don’t listen to and fall for what Fetterman says, just see how he votes. It’s not with republicans unless it’s a show vote that means nothing.

A good historian might wonder what was on the minds of the people asking him the questions.

He changed his over all political philosophy when he divorced his radical Muslim wife. He's still very much a Democrat in his hard core political beliefs.

Yup. Sucks for him, though, because the militant leftist commies in his party is going to chew him up and spit him out.

Doesn't irrationally and obsessively hate Israel and Jews or blame them for all ills in the world = "bought and paid for AIPAC toadie..."

I like what he says but his voting record is abysmal.

Let's see how he votes on holding Fauci in contempt.

And let's see if they can figure out a way to get a vote out of the vegetable in Kentucky.

Yet by his own account, when the shite hit the fan, he was very partisan.

I just want to remind everyone that this guy removed his mom from assisted living the day before he and the governor locked all of the elderly down so they could die alone.

Who expected that thing to make good decisions when it obviously was mentally ill?
