Fetterman supports US occupation of Gaza [View all]

NYtimes:

Outside the Senate chamber in the Capitol, Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, who is known as one of the most staunchly pro-Israel Democrats in the Senate, called President Trump’s remarks “provocative,” but said that he would support a potential American occupation of the Gaza Strip, adding that Palestinians for years have “refused or have been unwilling to deliver a government that provided security and economic development for themselves.”

This guy has turned into a complete disaster. It should be unnecessary to point out that a US occupation of Gaza would make Fallujah look like a Scout jamboree.

The Democrats today have been bringing the fire almost across the board — even Schumer sounded sort of passionate — but we can’t afford any Vichy Democrats and Fetterman is trending badly in that direction if he isn’t already there.

. . . didn’t realize Fetterman was also the only Democrat to vote for Pam Bondi for AG today. I think we can scratch the “if he isn’t already there.”
