39. Fetterman's staffers and advisors have mostly quit
Tue Jun 3, 2025, 10:37 AM
Jun 3

It doesn't look good for him, and I hope he resigns soon. Gov. Josh Shapiro would appoint a replacement, and I'm suggesting our former Sen. Bob Casey (who lost his bid for re-election last November) would be perfect to step in now.

Fetterman needs serious medical attention and his mental capacity has obviously diminished since the stroke. For his own good, as well as ours, he needs to resign. On top of that, Chump is using the issue of Gisela Fetterman's status as an immigrant to blackmail him. Mrs. Fetterman is a naturalized citizen since 2009, has earned multiple degrees, and she has 3 children with John. That makes her more qualified for US citizenship than Melania Chump.
