Sen. John Fetterman’s latest high-profile vote backing Donald Trump angered Democrats, who lambasted him as “shameful” and a “traitor.”
On Wednesday, Fetterman again voted to block another war powers resolution to constrain Trump’s authority to wage war on Iran without congressional approval.
It was the seventh time Democrats have attempted to rein in Trump’s power.
This time, however, Fetterman was the deciding vote after three Republican senators — Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins and Rand Paul — supported it.
ding, ding, ding… It’s much more lucrative to be pursued than it is to be part of the machine. He’d be a relatively progressive republican (at least according to them) and he’d be getting criticism, instead of praise from the fascists.
