Fetterman's growing on me

@Mik said in Fetterman's growing on me:
“Oh, Bob Menendez,” he said, laughing. “What a guy. What a guy. He’s still running his mouth against Biden right now.”
“He needs to go. I don’t understand why he can be here, having expelled Santos,” he said. “But I’m sure there might be a very innocent explanation of having gold bars in your mattress and overstuffed envelopes of cash.”

@George-K said in Fetterman's growing on me:
Paraphrasing a comment: "One more CVA and he'll go full MAGAT."
"And, second, I think that also was — Iran had to have some fireworks after Israel smoked that Iranian general, and I am here for that."
Not sure I am understanding that one…

I think he means that, after the strike on the embassy, Iran felt like it had to so some kind of pro-forma retaliation.

There are a lot of analysts saying that as well. Tehran had to do something more for domestic consumption than to engage Israel directly over the strike on its consulate. After all, that airborne ordinance this weekend had to fly over Jordanian and Saudi territory (Syrian too, although it probably doesn’t matter much) to get to Israel. Now done, Iran would prefer an immediate return to the shadow war with Israel it has been waging since 1979.

I understood that much of it, but the “I’m here for that” comment after bashing Biden for not offering Israel unconditional support. It felt like a contradiction, and even sounded like he was enthusiastically supporting the Iranian counter-attack.

I think George has it right. And...
Since Pennsylvania is a swing state and he is a Biden man, reckon he's given Biden a bit of cover while throwing some shade on him? As in Biden is wrong on this issue, but so right on all of these, which is why I support him?

I’d like to see some polls. I imagine these protests are likely turning some public sentiment away from Palestine.
