Dems Throw Fetterman Under the Bus: Biden 2.0

“Truth is not a left-wing value.” Sadly, Dennis Prager’s teaching is correct. He could even consider a corollary: Integrity is not a left-wing value.

U.S. Sen. John Fetterman is, tragically, seeing that unfold in a deeply personal way.

In the past week, there have been a series of orchestrated columns with allegations from “former staff,” “people familiar with his office” and “former campaign aides” stating – or whispering behind the curtain – that Fetterman is not himself. He’s irritable, stand-off-ish, belligerent, emotional, and stoic. That he doesn’t attend his committee meetings.

These were allegations that weren’t made in 2024 or even a month ago. They appeared spontaneously across digital, television, and print media – especially on the left.

You don’t have to be Columbo to uncover what’s going on here. This isn’t a coincidence. It’s not because it has been a slow news week in Washington or even in Pennsylvania – from trade talks with Great Britain and China at the national level to the Shapiro administration’s “missing” emails at the state level.

And yet, this has been prevailing topic among legacy media outlets. During my appearance on 6ABC’s Inside Story, Fetterman’s health was only bumped to the second segment because of the selection of Pope Leo XIV.

There are also the follow-up stories, including Fetterman rejecting suggestions that he resign.

There’s an audaciously clear power play taking place right before our eyes.

In May 2022, while campaigning for the U.S. Senate, as Pennsylvania’s Lt. Governor, Fetterman suffered a stroke. Throughout the remainder of that election cycle, Democratic politicians, campaign staff, and media surrogates told Pennsylvanians that Fetterman was fine. They told us in tweets, on radio, TV – and they pronounced it with anger at rallies.

In fact, his loudest, most passionate defenders went so far as to suggest that anyone questioning his mental health or stamina was not only wrong, but mean, cruel, and insensitive. One’s health – especially one’s mental health – is to never be a campaign issue. In fact, even if his heath was diminished, they told Pennsylvanians in 2022, that should not be held against him, as people with disabilities or health issues should be allowed to serve.

We hadn’t seen such energetic tap-dancing since Pennsylvania native Gene Kelly was “singing in the rain.”

Now, these people express “concerns” about his health. They suggest he isn’t up to the job or that he’s lacking stamina. Or they suggest that he’s either too emotional or too stoic, and therefore this is supposed to show us that his mental health is damaged. He’s skipping some Senate hearings, so apparently this shows he’s not up to the job.

This doesn’t have anything to do with his health. The left and their contemptuous allies are attacking him because they thought he was a progressive. Now, they’re furious that he’s not singing from their religious songbook.

He voted for a few Trump nominees. He had dinner with his fellow Pennsylvania U.S. Senator – newly-elected Republican Dave McCormick. And his most grievous sin: he’s the most outspoken, unapologetic Democratic defender of Israel and Jewish-Americans.

So having been criticized, and having not kowtowed to the DC Democrats, Fetterman is being taught a lesson – to scare him into “good behavior” or humiliate him so that he resigns.

Realize, too, that the same politicians, insiders, and media that once defended and are now attacking him are the very same crowd – the very same – that did this to Biden, and all of us.

We saw Biden’s decline in 2023 and 2024 – if not sooner. We noticed his slower movement and grasping for words. Yet, the left defended him, angrily and passionately. Anyone attacking Biden was partisan, mean, and to be ridiculed.

Until the June 2024 debate. And then, they worked behind the scenes, leaked stories, and then threw him aside like a used tissue – having done his “duty.”

They needed Biden to win in 2020 – just like the left needed Fetterman in 2022. And they needed him in 2021 until they built a team to govern around him. Then they threw him aside. Worse, they came forward in 2025 to admit that Biden probably did have issues. And, yes, we were all misled.

Now this same immoral, dishonest, contemptuous crowd dares to do it again. And they expect us to believe them.

I have no idea what Fetterman’s health status is.

What I do know is that I will not sit back and watch a hatchet job be done, again, right before our eyes. The same crowd that was gaslighting us on Biden’s health – and then railroaded him out of the nomination when he was damaged goods – is now attacking Fetterman, after vigorously defending him post stroke in 2022 and 2023. 

Color me skeptical at best.

The left is trying to teach Fetterman and Democratic pols a dangerous, dastardly lesson.

All voters should be watching and learning.
