We always get a little nervous when Senator John Fetterman says things that make perfect sense. We know he is a liberal, so we won't agree with him on most issues. But we're starting to be OK with that. Because when the man is right, he's just right.
And Fetterman has been right about a LOT recently, especially concerning Israel. We write a lot about his strong, common-sense position on supporting Israel and Jewish people from murderous terrorists who want to exterminate them. Whether it is posting pictures of all the hostages outside his Senate office, proudly carrying an Israeli flag, or just laughing in the face of the pro-Hamas mob who tries to berate him into changing his stance, the man we sometimes call Henry Turner remains solid in support of Jews and of Israel, America's ally in the Middle East.
(And it's not just Israel. In recent months, Fetterman has also made more sense than any Democrat in Washington about the border crisis, Sen. Bob Memendez's corruption, and even just basic freedom and civil liberties. But yeah ... it's mostly Israel.)
Fetterman's latest truth bomb that is going to send the lefty media into paroxysms of outrage came yesterday in a statement he gave to Semafor. As the Hamas Caucus was screeching about police brutality against 'kids' (never mind that the campus protests have been very violent and everyone participating in them are adults), Fetterman simply stated what every sane person in the world can see for themselves:
Sen. @JohnFetterman (D-PA): “The protesters at Columbia demonstrated that there are two factions of the protesters — there’s the pro-Hamas, and then there’s the really pro-Hamas."https://t.co/FIcwvjBLD1

Yep. Pretty much. Here is the full except from Semafor:
Democrats arrived to work in Washington facing yet another no-win news cycle around Israel, as a fresh round of police raids on campus protests continued to split their party.
The reactions ranged from fiery denunciations of police tactics as an authoritarian overreaction to equally sharp denunciations of the protests themselves as cover for antisemitism and terrorism.
'The protesters at Columbia demonstrated that there are two factions of the protesters — there’s the pro-Hamas, and then there’s the really pro-Hamas,' Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman told Semafor. He was, he said, 'glad that they chose to have the police come in and take charge.'
Standing up for Israel. Standing up for Jews. Standing up for law and order. And standing AGAINST protesters who are clearly in support of Hamas terrorists, not of peace or a 'ceasefire.'
This is Fetterman 2.0 and we keep on loving it.
I’ve grown to love this man!

How quickly the wheels of that bus fell off …😂

It started off as a “humanitarian” concern for #Gaza? …
AND JUST LIKE THAT … it went from #Humanitarian to full blown chaos and stupidity!
Well said @JohnFetterman, respect Sir! https://t.co/q1SmVygH6w
The wheels came off because it was never about 'humanitarian aid.' That was a cloak to hide the true objectives. New reports are now showing these protests were in planning IMMEDIATELY after October 7. But it didn't take long for the mask to slip.
Democrats would be mindful to just make Fetterman the spokesperson for the party. https://t.co/kITE6P9N0a

He's a lot better at speaking plainly and truthfully than Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, or Karine Jean-Pierre, that's for sure.
A Democrat recovering from a Stroke is more mentally aware than 90 percent of Congress! Just amazing….. https://t.co/gSi6xITU7H

The Communists are Pro-Hamas because they are anti-Western.
The Islamists are Pro-Hamas because they are Hamas. https://t.co/O0Nk31yEba
All of this.
Nails it https://t.co/7yZA9O89wz

Fetterman is the most based liberal I've ever encountered.
— segmentum (@segmentum1) May 2, 2024
This is a good distinction. Fetterman IS a liberal. He won't deny that. He does NOT, however, appear to be a leftist. There is a world of difference between the two in 2024.
"A radical Islamist wants to kill you.

A moderate Islamist wants a radical Islamist to kill you."
Their enablers in the West are on the same trajectory.
The pro-Hamas protesters on college campuses are solidly in that second camp. (There may even be some in the first camp since many of the arrests have been of people who are not actually students.)
As if to prove the point, there were many such examples in the replies to what Fetterman said:
You forgot about the anti-Zionist genocide protestors. The ones against the militant faction that helped to create Hamas so they can kill Palestinians.

See what we mean?
But enough of their screeching. Most people recognize what Fetterman said, while perhaps a bit hyperbolic (we know that many protesters at college campuses have no idea what they're doing there, and they admit it) is still pretty much on target.
There are simply too many data points that have accrued at this point showing that these activists are literally pro-Hamas - and thus, yes, in favor of the mass-killing of Israeli civilians, which is Hamas’s fundamental impulse and strategy, which it has done repeatedly and vows… https://t.co/008lTdVxUD

Exactly.
I never expected to be a fan of John Fetterman. I think his brush with death made him realize things and consider his immortal soul.
— Sherry Stambaugh (@sherstam) May 2, 2024
That's possible, who knows? But whatever it was, it's pretty difficult for anyone to claim anymore that this is just 'political posturing' on Fetterman's part.
This is what he truly believes. And we're here for it.
