17. I've suspected he is terrified for his wife who was DACA to be detained / deported

Mon Feb 16, 2026, 04:23 PM

She came to the US as a 7 year old child and got citizenship in 2009. She seemed outspoken and lovely. My bet is that he was put under huge pressure from Trump. No one wants their wife, let alone the mother of their kids, to be imprisoned, and would any of you count on Trump not doing it?

Fetterman should have resigned and moved out of the country to protect her safety and his conscience.

I’m as angry as anyone about how he is acting now, but I think I recognize extortion / blackmail when I see it.
