‘Not Going Anywhere’: John Fetterman Dismisses AOC’s Trump Impeachment Push Over Iran Strikes

Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman criticized fellow Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for advocating to impeach President Donald Trump for striking Iranian nuclear sites without congressional approval.

Ocasio-Cortez called to impeach the president on X Saturday after his administration bombed Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan, three nuclear sites located outside of Tehran. Fetterman, on “America’s Newsroom,” called Ocasio-Cortez’s impeachment push unproductive and said invoking impeachment over the bombings risks cheapening the process.

“She knows it, I know it, we all know it. That’s not going anywhere. And, you know, he’s been impeached twice and now he’s still our president as well now, too,” Fetterman said. “So it’s not going anywhere. And I don’t think that’s helpful. And I think if you throw that term around, that actually diminishes the severity of what impeachment is reserved for.”

Fetterman also praised Trump’s decision to strike Iran in a Saturday X post, calling it “the correct move.”

“Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities,” he wrote. “I’m grateful for and salute the finest military in the world.”
