Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania continued the Democrats’ piling on against Palestinians this past Sunday.

Fetterman asserted to CNN’s Manu Raju: “There’s no ethnic cleansing. It’s not a genocide. This is a just war.”

Asked by Raju if Israel was using “starvation as a weapon,” he claimed: “No. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Israel is not deliberately starving people, absolutely.”

He added: “Those conditions are miserable there. And it is hell on earth. Why? Some people blame Israel for that? I blame Hamas and Iran for that thing.”

This continues most Democrats’ failure to recognize the Gaza genocide, even walking back the genocide assertion in the recent case of Congresswoman Katherine Clark, a top leader in the House of Representatives.

      Let’s not stigmatize stroke victims. Fetterman just sucks and has always sucked, according to locals I’ve heard from. He wore a mask just long enough to get elected to national office.

        He denied the harmful effects of fracking from the get-go. Just ignoring all the people whose Water and Air got permanently poisoned by companies that came in and fracked and then left them poisoned. I knew fetterman was a piece of shit right from the start because of that. There’s no way he could not be.
