Summary
In a guest editorial published by PennLive, Cumberland County Democratic Party chair Matt Roan called for Senator John Fetterman’s resignation.
He accused Fetterman of abandoning Democratic values and aligning with Republicans and Trump.
Roan criticized Fetterman’s votes to confirm Trump ally Pam Bondi as attorney general and support a GOP-backed funding bill, as well as his pro-Israel stance and backing of immigration restrictions.
Speculation about Fetterman switching parties intensified after his meeting with Trump, but he denied plans to become a Republican, insisting he remains committed to Democratic priorities.
Also I mean, most of the anti-Fetterman sentiment is pure hindsight. There were clues that he was a douchebag, but he did well to present himself as progressive and relatable. It’s not like most people expected the heel turn. I, for one, was very happy to see someone other than a boring corporate Democrat as the front runner.
