Social and news media commenters seize on senator’s gaffe, with some characterizing it as a Freudian slip
With speculation about whether he may defect from the Democratic party swirling around him, US senator John Fetterman described himself seemingly unintentionally as a “lifelong Republican” during a fireside chat in Texas over the weekend.
Fetterman made the comment when someone listening to him speak with CBS News political correspondent Major Garrett at the Texas Tribune Festival on Saturday asked the Pennsylvania senator why he had not become an independent.
“Because I’m a lifelong Republican,” Fetterman replied. Garrett promptly corrected him by saying, “Democrat,” as Fetterman raised a hand and shook his head in disbelief.
I’m convinced that it’s his stroke causing a personality change and possibly cognitive decline.
his locals that have known and dealt with him long before the election have all said he’s been a fucking cunt his entire life.
the stroke had nothing to do with anything
I’m convinced the stroke was fake and his run as a democrat was a ruse to get elected on false promises
Well the big three in Fetterman’s election were himself, Dr. Oz, and Dave McCormick. At the time, Fetterman seemed like the better pick. But now I know “it’s the same picture.” Fetterman won’t make it out of his next primary unless he runs as a Republican… Then maybe, but probably not still.
