The Democrat Party has a major problem on their hands. The top Democrats are panicking.
Because Senator John Fetterman used one word to describe his colleagues that has all hell breaking loose.
Amid Israel’s escalating battle with Hamas, Senator John Fetterman (D., Pa.) broke with the far left edge of his party by rejecting public requests for a Gaza ceasefire and chiding fellow progressives for instinctively embracing the debunked allegation that Israel attacked a hospital in Gaza on Tuesday night.
“It’s truly disturbing that Members of Congress rushed to blame Israel for the hospital tragedy in Gaza. Who would take the word of a group that just massacred innocent Israeli civilians over our key ally?” Fetterman wrote on Twitter (also known as X) this week.

It has since been confirmed by Israeli and American officials that Palestinian militants were responsible for the attack on Tuesday.
After first criticizing Israel in a social media post shortly after word of the explosion broke, Representative Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) did so again during Wednesday’s pro-Palestinian rally at the Capitol.

On Tuesday, Democratic Representative for Minnesota Ilhan Omar joined in on the false claim, claiming that Biden “needs to push for an immediate ceasefire to end this slaughter” after the bombing of a hospital in Gaza.
To defeat Hamas, Omar, Tlaib, and fellow “Squad” member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have stated that the Biden administration must first compel Israel to negotiate a ceasefire. Separately on X, Fetterman responded negatively to that line of thinking.
He argued that the international community should back Israeli attempts to wipe out Hamas militants responsible for killing civilians. “Hamas does not want peace, they want to destroy Israel. We can talk about a ceasefire after Hamas is neutralized.”
Adding that he plans to work with the Senate to “quickly deliver the aid our ally Israel needs,” the Pennsylvania lawmaker said that he would like to see Jack Lew confirmed as the new U.S. ambassador to Israel as soon as possible in light of the ongoing crisis. Senate Republicans voted against Biden’s choice of Lew on Wednesday because of his role in arranging the Iran nuclear deal during the Obama administration’s tenure.
Now is not the time to talk about a ceasefire. We must support Israel in efforts to eliminate the Hamas terrorists who slaughtered innocent men, women, and children.
Hamas does not want peace, they want to destroy Israel. We can talk about a ceasefire after Hamas is neutralized.

John Fetterman’s comments expose a major problem that the Democrat Party has right now. Actually, there’s quite a few problems he’s highlighted unintentionally.
First of all, their messaging is all over the place. The Democrat Party has for decades now claimed to be the “anti-war” party and has tried to label Republicans as war-mongering psychopaths.
But now we’re seeing many on the Left in high places, like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib celebrate the war that Hamas is waging against Israel.
Secondly, Fetterman unintentionally showed just how radical the Left has become, and they don’t even know how to deal with it.
Their radical so-called “progressivism” is tearing their own party apart because they can’t agree on the most fundamental things anymore. At one point it would’ve been a no-brainer for any old school liberal Democrat from the 1960s or 1970s to be anti-war and more humanitarian.
But the Democrat Party of 2023 in America apparently has a home for anti-semites who want to watch the world burn.
Make no mistake, Fetterman is no grade-A U.S. Senator, but it’s hilarious seeing him completely put his own Party on blast. He feels forced to, lest he sacrifice his own humanity.
Stay tuned to the DC Daily Journal.
