In reply to the discussion: Fetterman "confused" [View all]Cosmocat
(15,418 posts)going back to when he was first running for LT Gov, met him a few times.
They knew me well enough to send me one of his classic black Fetterman for LT Gov t-shirts. If nothing the guy had a good sense of t-shirts - great fit (its amazing how many ill fitting tshirts there are) and quality cotton).
Pre stroke he was a liberal warrior.
Did not mealy mouth things, was direct about his support of our key issues.
AND, was direct calling republicans out as the lunatics they are on issues.
Past that, he trolled them a lot on twitter, and did things like hung a rainbow flag from the LT Govs window - just to piss them off, which it did. He leaned into a lot of stuff like that.
As LT Gov used his secondary role in the senate to the Ds advantage in ways that he was allowed that they normally do not, which again, pissed the Rs off to no end.
Post stroke ...
Totally different guy.
But, we are stuck with him now for four years.
Its infuriating, but at this point I see him as a republican who will break ranks and support a few D (American) priorities.
