In a stunning display of bipartisan respect, Democrat Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania came to the defense of Trump's Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem during a Senate hearing, blasting his own party's media allies for their 'sexist garbage.'

Fetterman, who has increasingly distanced himself from the radical left wing of his party, explicitly refused to engage in what he called the 'kind of sexist garbage like ICE Barbie that the left-wing media loves to throw around' when referring to Secretary Noem.

The Pennsylvania Senator's comments came during a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing, where Noem has been fielding questions about the Trump administration's aggressive border security and deportation operations.

"I refuse to engage in the kind of sexist garbage like 'ICE Barbie' that the left-wing media loves to throw around," Fetterman stated firmly.

This latest break from Democrat orthodoxy shows just how far the radical left has pushed even their own party members. Fetterman's willingness to call out the obvious sexism against a accomplished conservative woman like Secretary Noem exposes the hypocrisy of Democrats who claim to champion women while simultaneously attacking them with gendered slurs.

Secretary Noem, the former South Dakota Governor, has been leading President Trump's historic deportation efforts and securing America's borders with unprecedented effectiveness. Instead of acknowledging her results, leftist media outlets have resorted to sexist name-calling – exactly the kind of behavior they would condemn if directed at a liberal woman.

Even Democrats Can't Defend Media Sexism

Fetterman's defense of Noem highlights a growing problem for Democrats: their media allies have become so unhinged in their attacks on the Trump administration that even members of their own party are calling them out.

Patriots should ask themselves: if a Democrat Senator can recognize obvious sexism against Secretary Noem, why can't the rest of his party? And more importantly, will other Democrats follow Fetterman's lead in standing up for basic decency, or will they continue enabling their media allies' disgusting attacks on conservative women?

Finally, a Democrat with some common sense! Fetterman calling out the sexist treatment shows that maybe there's hope for bipartisan respect.

Agreed! When even Fetterman is defending Trump's picks, you know the media has gone too far.

This is exactly what I've been saying to my liberal friends - they claim to support women but only if they have the 'right' politics!

The left-wing media always attacks strong conservative women. They did it to Sarah Palin, they did it to Amy Coney Barrett, and now this. At least someone on the other side is honest about it.

Wait, what exactly did the media say that was sexist? I want to make sure I understand the full context here.

They were attacking her appearance and questioning if she's 'tough enough' for the job - classic double standards they never apply to men.

Fetterman has been surprisingly reasonable on several issues lately. Maybe his health scare gave him some perspective on what really matters.
