Senator John Fetterman has signaled that he could reach a breaking point with the Democratic Party if Senator Chris Van Hollen is elected to Senate majority leader.

Fetterman, who has repeatedly clashed with members of his own party over Israel, suggested that Van Hollen’s potential leadership appointment would be troubling because of his criticism of the Israeli government.

Asked by Kayleigh McEnany during a Fox News interview on Saturday whether Van Hollen becoming majority leader would represent a red line that could prompt him to leave the Democratic Party, Fetterman responded: “Yeah, absolutely, it would be troubling if my caucus elects someone like Van Hollen, that has really made his name being very…hostile to Israel.”

    There has never been a more resounding endorsement for Van Hollen.

    Fetterman can crawl back under his bridge and go back to eating billygoats for all I care.

    So this all just the last con of an ill man who knows the only way to get his family money is to sell his soul to the devil, right? Like, all these assholes know they’re being assholes, it’s just another paycheck to have agendas made by proxy of a foreign country.

    They aren’t even into being assholes for the love of the game. Except maybe Steven Miller, the worst wormtongue in this timeline.

    … This is his breaking point with Democrats? Wasn’t that the stroke he had a few years ago?

    This guy has been broken in the head for years. At this point, he’s a Republican asset embedded in the Democratic party.

    Wouldn’t it be hilarious if he left and the Republicans told him to fuck off? 🙂

      For real. Fetterman is too brain damaged (not a figure of speech) to hold his cards close to his chest. He is telling us what his handlers are telling him.

    He’s basically an extremely unstable emotional teenager saying they’ll kill themselves if you break up with them.
