John Fetterman Has Message For Fellow Democrats Who Made Scene At SOTU

Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman tore into his party Wednesday for their conduct during Tuesday night’s State of the Union address.

President Donald Trump’s speech lasted an hour and 48 minutes, a record length, during which he celebrated the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and presented two servicemen with the Medal of Honor while also denouncing the welfare fraud perpetrated by Somali scammers in Minnesota. Fetterman took particular exception to the conduct of Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, who shouted at Trump during his remarks on illegal immigration.

“I mean, now it’s, you know, the constant kinds of yelling and screaming and, and, and now holding up signs and for doing all these things, I, I don’t think, I don’t care if it’s a Republican or Democrat, it’s a president, just don’t do that, don’t do that,” Fetterman told “America’s Newsroom” co-host Bill Hemmer.

“Respect the office, regardless who’s in that, and now for me, it’s like now when half the people in my party haven’t showed up, and then some of them have chosen to just yell and say and scream during all of it, I, I just don’t think that’s what we want, and I don’t believe as a Democrat… dancing frogs really moves the ball for us as a party either,” Fetterman continued.
