"Oh my God, I just want to go home... I've missed our entire trip to to the beach." --Sen. John Fetterman [View all]

John Fetterman when asked about timing of vote that will cost millions health care and food on the table, destroy industries and jobs:

"Oh my God, I just want to go home... I've missed our entire trip to to the beach."

It is noon on a Monday.

Fetterman not really happy with Dems forcing the clerk to read the bill: â€œitâ€™s not like itâ€™s pathetic to force the clerk to read it or anythingâ€
