are paying attention. Maybe he thinks he is saying what he believes he needs to say for his constituents. I acknowledge there is a degree in the shades of gray crazy between Oz and Gaetz. But this sort of thing disqualifies Fetterman for me permanently. He's a Susan Collins/Sinema/Manchin and I don't ever want him on a national ticket in either spot.
