Staunch Democrat Sen. John Fetterman off Pennsylvania says progressives have left him and he doesn’t recognize them anymore because of their failure to address, or even see, the disaster that Joe Biden has made of the nation’s southern border.
One report on Fetterman’s dissatisfaction with the “progressives” in his party pointed out that he “once boasted about being a progressive. Now he doesn’t recognize them anymore.”
“It’s not so much that I left the title, the title left me,” charged Fetterman, who when he was elected in 2022 vowed that “progressive values” were the heart of his political identity.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, Fetterman is breaking with his party because he believes “the border crisis is threatening to destroy the American dream as another 300,000 people approached the southern border in hopes of crossing into the U.S.”
He recently, on a television interview, insisted on a “secure border,” explaining, “I honestly don’t understand why” that is controversial.
“And [what] I think about immigration is, we want to provide the American Dream for any migrant. However, it seems very difficult when you have 300,000 people showing up, encountered at our border, to achieve that,” he explained.
When Joe Biden took office, he extinguished virtually all of the border security measures assembled by President Donald Trump, such as the remain-in-Mexico practice and construction of the border wall.
Since then, literally millions of illegal aliens have breached the American border and moved into the country, taking welfare and other benefits that are costing the American taxpayers billions.
The report noted Fetterman’s wife arrived in the U.S. as an undocumented immigrant at the age of 7, and he wants migration, but legal migration.
“I’ve been very clear, in fact, that was weaponized against me [by] Republicans in my race, that I’m very much a strong supporter of immigration, and you know, my wife’s family, that’s the origin story about that,” he said.
He doesn’t know why the progressive ideology has a problem with border security.
“And I think two things can be true at the same time. You can be very supportive of immigration, but we also need to have a secure border,” he said.
He also recently departed from the talking points demanded by his party by expressing support for Israel, following the October terror attack by Hamas that left hundreds dead.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: For America’s ruling elites, nothing is more precious, wonderful and life-giving to their great cause than the Jan. 6, 2021 “insurrection” at the U.S. Capitol. It’s irrelevant that the events didn’t come remotely close to constituting an actual “insurrection,” or that both police and over 200 undercover FBI assets provoked the riot – which Tucker Carlson calls a “set-up.” Yet Vice President Kamala Harris still insists the minor riot was just as horrific as the 9/11 terror attacks and Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
WHY are the elites doing this?
It’s not just because convicting, imprisoning, torturing and destroying the lives of hundreds of Trump supporters is meant to terrify and intimidate millions of Americans into submission. And it’s not just because activist judges and bureaucrats in over 30 states are absurdly trying to keep Trump off their state’s election ballots by citing the 14th Amendment’s prohibition against anyone who “engaged in insurrection” from holding elective office.
It’s because the elites’ destruction of America is so rapid, horrendous and obvious that they feel compelled to turn their opponents into monsters – or lose power at the next election. But that doesn’t mean just calling conservatives and Christians “racists,” “white supremacists,” “radical extremists” and “domestic terrorists” as they do continually. They know much more is needed.
Question: What if, far from being horrified by a half-baked riot they absurdly claim is worse than any domestic disturbance since the Civil War, the left actually LOVES the idea of violence on the right – the worse the better – since it perfectly serves their agenda? Increasingly, all the evidence strongly suggests today’s power-mad leftist elites not only intend to intimidate and discredit their political opponents by calling them terrorists, they mean to provoke actual violence.
The secret strategies and shocking tactics of today’s ascendant far-left elites are exposed as perhaps never before in the January issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, headlined “INCITING VIOLENCE: DEMS’ SECRET STRATEGY FOR STAYING IN POWER.”
