Brace yourselves folks, the liberal media is at it again! This time, they’re throwing their beloved Pennsylvania Democratic Senator, John Fetterman, under the bus. Fresh off the front page of the Sunday’s New York Times, it’s almost as if Fetterman committed an unforgivable sin. His crime? Breaking their echo chamber by actually supporting Israel’s right to defend itself and developing a taste for conservative media outlets. Suddenly, he’s an outcast!
You see, Fetterman didn’t play by their tune. He was supposed to be another left-winger toeing the party line, but he chose to call out hypocrisy where he sees it, even within his own party. This didn’t sit well with liberals, especially considering the fact that he went from being the Democrats’ mental health champion to someone who wouldn’t kowtow to every progressive demand.
Their discontent was made pretty apparent during a recent encounter with environmentalist and organizer Stevie O’Hanlon. As she attempted to scrutinize Fetterman’s stance on a local pipeline project, she was taken by surprise when Fetterman expressed his viewpoint rather sarcastically. Apparently, the progressive champion that they had voted for wasn’t supposed to express a different opinion.
O’Hanlon’s reaction to Fetterman’s response was quite telling. She was shocked about how candid he was about his views. It seems she, like many on the left, expected him to always agree with their narrative. Quite a shocking realization when politicians don’t function like robots, right?
Rattling even more feathers, Fetterman’s robust support of Israel during the Israel-Hamas War saw him bucking the trend amongst his Democrat colleagues. He categorically backed Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, opting to defy the narrative spun by his party. Of course, let’s correct that a tad. His views only became controversial when they deviated from the liberal playbook.
It bears mentioning that Fetterman’s shift isn’t all about Israel or pipelines. He started steering clear of relentless social media, began reading The New York Post, and appeared on Fox News. Suddenly, Fetterman is painted as some sort of Frankenstein monster, with the mainstream media seemingly taken aback that he dared to consume news from both sides of the political spectrum.
A startling discovery by critics is Fetterman’s “unfamiliarity” with the Middle East region. But what’s astonishing is that the same critics never questioned his ‘mental capability’ when Republicans pointed it out after his hospitalization for depression. I guess it’s only a problem when it doesn’t fit their narrative.
Now, don’t get it twisted – Fetterman’s transformation doesn’t make him a conservative sweetheart overnight. But it definitely shows that he isn’t afraid to challenge the conventional norms of his party. And brace yourselves again folks, because this is something that drives the liberal media and left extremists absolutely mad.
So there you have it. Conservative media gains another listener, the Democrats lose another ally, and the left portrays another independent thinker as a villain. The narrative indeed writes itself. Stay tuned for the next episode of ‘Who Will the Left Denounce Next?’
