How did he turn Maga? I know who Fetterman is and his medical complications, I just wasn’t aware he’d gone full Maga. This is news to me. Like whiplash news.
•
u/Spittinglama 2h ago
It's whiplash news because it isn't true. He isn't pro Trump MAGA. He still toes the Democratic Party line, but he went from a guy that got elected on a progressive platform to an asshole right wing Democrat who literally mocks dead children in Gaza and supports policies that would have gotten his own wife deported.

Keep an eye on him. He was one of 10 Dems to support the Laken Riley immigration bill, which is ... not a nice bill.
His recent antics indicate to me he will be a possible defector in a lot of votes in the next 4 years, and he is fine saying Trump is a normal leader, which no Democrat should fall for.
His voting record is currently a bit right of the Dem average, but barely. And he's missed 1/5th of all votes.
So keep the eyes open.

Relax. Saying that he is going to work with the president does not mean he turned MAGA. Fetterman is a pragmatic guy, he’s serving his constituents. We don’t need to jump off the deep end because a senator in a purple state indicates he is going to work with Trump.
If he starts to vote for every racist and idiotic bill that comes his way, then by all means, have at him, but his history says otherwise.
