John Fetterman May Vote to Confirm Trump Pick, Who Is His Former Rival: Liberals Are Furious


by Jack Davis, The Western Journal Nov. 20, 2024 8:20 pm184 Comments


The different drum to which Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania marches is beating out a tune that liberals hate to hear.
Fetterman’s reaction was sought after President-elect Donald Trump said he would nominate Dr. Mehmet Oz, whom Fetterman defeated in a bruising 2002 U.S. Senate race, to become administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The post requires Senate confirmation.

“If Dr. Oz is about protecting and preserving Medicare and Medicaid, I’m voting for the dude,” Fetterman said in a post on X.





Fetterman said he was being a realist.

“Do you think he’s my first choice?” he said, according to the Independent. “Do you think Trump is my first one? But it’s like, yeah, here we are.”

A CNN reporter posted Fetterman’s elaboration on his post.

“I’m going to be very, very clear if Dr. Oz agrees to protect and preserve Medicaid and Medicare, I’m absolutely going to vote for the dude,” Fetterman was quoted as saying.

“That’s the most important thing for me. Our politics are obviously different, and we do have a history, but I don’t have any bitterness. I don’t hold anything against him. As long as he’s willing to protect and preserve Medicaid and Medicare, I’m voting for the dude,” he said.

But Fetterman’s attitude earned him the disdain of many liberals who poured out their invective online.

“You’re such a disappointment man,” a poster called Merrick wrote on X, including a 2022 post from Fetterman that was highly critical of Oz.

Liberals are Furious is the name of my new band.

I mean, they live their lives in a heightened state of panic, so to me, that's a feature of the left, not a bug.

Most of these appointments make some sense. Someone explain Dr. Oz, or better yet Ms McMahon. In what way is she even remotely qualified for anything? She spent one year on the parent teacher association?

I mean I get it, they want to dismantle the department of education. But at this point it looks like he is just hiring all his TV buddies.

He's bringing on business people and administrators who aren't part of the political swamp, and aren't beholden to corrupt politicians and moneymen. That means they'll do their job without taking bribes and kickbacks.

We either want to clean up the swamp or we don't. And you don't clean the swamp by hiring swamp creatures to do it.

No it just means they are there to enrich themselves, just like the cult leader.

Please tell me you are aware that there are likely multiple people in this country that are a) not swampies, b) "business people", and c) have at least some professional interaction with the educational system.

But I understand that lots of MBA types believe you don't actually have to know anything about the subject matter of your business, you just have to know how to do business things.

Oh, you mean like how Trump enriched himself in his first 4 years of office?

:loser:

Where do you people come up with this sht?
Well he DID - he and his children used AF One for their own business use. And by forcing ppl to meet w him at Mar A Lago, all those dignitaries and their security paid TRUMP to stay at the 'resort' same for Trump Hotel in the US Post Pavillion.
this go round he gets the added bonus of avoiding prosecution. Y'all elected a user and a traitor among other things

She's not going to be teaching classes, she's going to be overseeing the administration of the department.

How do people not understand what Cabinet members do?

what part don't you understand? Trump hotels etc made money ALOT of money when he had world leaders at Mar A Lago, they had to pay to stay at the resort. You know who else had to pay - the Secret Service, which means you and I paid those inflated rates. Sorry that is too difficult for you to understand. But its clear that if you voted for Trump your comprehension levels are pretty low

Its silly of me to even post the links or have a discussion. You are in a cult. You believe anything and everything this knucklehead says. I'm not sure at all why THIS would be so unbelievable. It's what he does. He doesn't pay his bills, he lies and cheats (ask his wives and any business associates) and bankrupts (7 times now I think) and he grifts his way through life. Its what he does. And now he's hoodwinked all of you who think this narcissist cares about you much less is even aware you exist.

So, Kitten... Feeling better after your election day tantrum, sobbing and depression?

Did you give you some cherry flavored xanax tabs to get ya through the days?

:jet:

By the way... The name Potomac is really without imagination.

When you change up, make it interesting. Maybe Blue Plains can be your next forum ID.
