Democrat Senator left a CNN anchor speechless after betraying his party
The Left is bleeding support. And it’s coming from the top this time.
Because a Democrat Senator left a CNN anchor speechless after betraying his party.
Fetterman’s Stunning Revelation on Left-Wing Vitriol
Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) left CNN anchor Dana Bash visibly stunned during an interview when he revealed that the harshest personal attacks he’s endured stem not from conservatives, but from the far Left.
Inside the Memoir: Tasting Venom from Both Sides
Appearing to promote his new memoir, Unfettered, Fetterman fielded Bash’s observation about a striking passage claiming Democrats outdid Republicans in cruelty.
“You said, quote, ‘I’ve drunk deeply of the venom of both the Left and the Right. And as a connoisseur, I can confirm that the most poisonous, the bitterest, is from the far Left,’” Bash quoted. “That is pretty remarkable to hear you say that as an elected Democrat. Why?” “It’s just been my personal experience on this thing,”
Fetterman replied, citing his defiance on flashpoints like the Israel-Gaza conflict and the push to end the government shutdown. “I asked my digital team, I said, ‘We’re on all the platforms, you know, what’s kind of the harshest? What’s kind of the most personal?” Fetterman recounted. “And the answer was immediate. They said, ‘Oh, Bluesky. It’s Bluesky.”
“And the difference is the Right would say really rough things and names, some names I won’t repeat on TV,” he elaborated. “But on the Left, it was like, they want me to die, or that ‘We’re cheering for your next stroke’ or that’s terrible that depression — ‘Why couldn’t the depression won?’ And ‘I hope your kids find you.’ And they even have a graphic, like a gif where they have a stroke in your head —” “Oh my gosh!” Bash interjected, reeling in disbelief.
“And they said that — I remember one that they claimed, ‘oh, the doctor let us down,’ and ‘why did they have to save his life?’” Fetterman pressed on.
“I mean, just really — I just can’t imagine people are wishing, ‘I wish he dies,’ or ‘I want him to die,’ you know, literally cheering for a stroke. And I don’t know what the kind of a place where that comes from.” “That’s much different from calling me a name,” he stressed. “And that’s really been consistent in that community online.”
Echoes from Maher: Democrats’ Descent into Meanness
The theme resurfaced days prior on HBO, where host Bill Maher and Cheryl Hines—spouse of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—weighed in.
“The Republicans have been very kind to me from the beginning,” Hines observed, noting even during her husband’s Democratic run, GOP figures stayed civil.
“They never have been. And I can’t say that for the Democrats.”
“I agree. And it’s sad because it’s not the Democrats we grew up with,” Maher concurred, lamenting, “I’m not going to pretend I don’t notice how different they are. How mean they’ve become.”
