The Fetterman Phenomenon
Pirate on a Pirate Ship of Fools
By now we’re all aware of the remarks by Sen. Fetterman (D) PA, he made on The View. Some reports are calling him a man with common sense, while others tout his remarks as putting the show hosts in their place, or causing them to go into a shocked stupor.
On the Fox News show, The Five, Greg Gutfeld expressed views about him, saying that he’s a pirate on a pirate ship of fools. In other words, Sen. Fetterman, the only current lawmaker who understands the Cartesian dualism theory of “I think, therefore I am” as the Washington Times pointed out, is the real pirate who’s willing to go in and clarify to the hags of The View that he’s standing by his guns of reason and common sense.
When Anna Navarro tells Sen. Fetterman that she doesn’t “…care for the optics of you going to Mar-a-Lago” Fetterman is really responding with, “I don’t care!” or “So what?” or “So?” When Sen. Fetterman is willing to engage in dialogue with those intended confirmations of presidential appointments, and makes informed decisions to back his support, his up or down vote. Then, he’s doing his job of representing his constituents, as well as conferring with his colleagues, without letting his ideological bias cloud his judgement. This is supposed to be done by anyone who understands that they are serving those who elected them to their position.
Given the fact that he barely made it through his stroke during the election for his senatorial seat, it’s interesting to see that, besides not caring about dressing, in a way most would expect, he’s come around to expressing himself to be a reasonable rebel. He refuses to cave to the prevailing Democrat mindset that causes them to presume he shouldn’t be so swashbuckling of a pirate and get in line with the woke ideology.
If Sen. Fetterman sets a new and popular trend among his fellow senators in the upper chamber, we just might have him to thank for being more of a statesman who doesn’t give knee-jerk reactions to presidential actions from the likes of Sen. Schumer, who recently displayed the typical divisive politician we’ve grown tired of.
If we compare Sen. Schumer’s response to Steven Miller’s, White House deputy chief of staff for policy, or Karoline Levitt’s in her first press briefing, they clarify the facts about the pause/freeze. They explain how it would not affect existing direct federal payouts for programs like S.S., Medicaid, SNAP, etc. much like when government has shut down in the past.
Now, the White House has rescinded its pause/freeze until further revisions are implemented. It seems likely that the revision is needed to prevent future judicial halts and backlash from the hags on The View.
