Sen. John Fetterman slams anti-American ‘dirtbag left’

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., delivered a scathing rebuke of the Democratic Party’s progressive wing, saying the party is “going deep into communism” after conservative candidates scored a landslide victory in New York.
“It was a big night for the dirtbag left last night in New York City, without a doubt,” Fetterman told The Will Cain Show.
Fetterman said Wednesday that the Democratic Party is increasingly accepting candidates who are “anti-Israel,” “anti-American” and opposed to key institutions such as immigration enforcement and prisons.

Fetterman’s concerns come as Democratic voters appear to favor candidates who continue to align with the party’s far-left wing.
Outside of New York, Democratic Socialist Nithya Raman has advanced to the November runoff, where she will face Democrat Karen Bass in the Los Angeles mayoral race. In Washington, DC, 38-year-old Democratic Socialist Janeese Lewis George defeated her more moderate opponent, McDuffie of Kenya, in a primary to replace Mayor Muriel Bowser. Progressive Abdul El-Sayed is leading in the majority of votes to replace Michigan Sen. Gary Peters, who may seek re-election, and progressive Graham Platner won the Democratic Senate primary in Maine.

Fetterman, who has refused to toe the party line on many issues, described himself as a “regular Democrat” who is proud to stand up for Israel and proud to be an American.
