Last week, New York Magazine published a rather pointed critique of Democrat Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, casting doubt on his mental fitness and job performance. This scrutiny seems curious, especially considering the left rallied behind him during his campaign.
Now that he has assumed office and has taken a firm stance in support of Israel, it appears that the very same leftist factions are reconsidering their alliance, seemingly eager to distance themselves from him. To add fuel to the fire, a video surfaced showing him displaying a less-than-pleasant demeanor during a flight.
Today, yet another critical article about Fetterman emerged, this time alleging that he exhibited an explosive temper during a meeting with members of the teachers’ unions.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer:
The meeting commenced without incident, with representatives from Pennsylvania’s largest teachers union expressing gratitude to Sen. John Fetterman for his defense of public education.
However, as the educators from the Pennsylvania State Education Association and the National Education Association urged Fetterman to take stronger action against federal education cuts, his frustration boiled over. Witnesses reported that Fetterman, a towering figure at 6-foot-8 and a former college football player, began to raise his voice, demanding to know what more they expected from him while slamming his fists on the table.
Moreover, several former staffers, speaking to The Inquirer under the cloak of anonymity due to potential fallout within the Democratic party, claimed that Fetterman is neglecting the fundamental responsibilities of his position. They described a senator who is often absent, spending long stretches alone in his office on Capitol Hill while avoiding colleagues and meetings.
Newsweek also jumped into the fray:

It certainly seems like the Democratic Party is displeased with him and is orchestrating a situation to facilitate his removal.
Just an observation…

It certainly appears that they are maneuvering to oust him, likely due to his unwavering support for Israel. Since Fetterman no longer aligns with the far-left agenda, the question arises: are these media attacks simply a strategic effort to discard him? The timing and tone of these critiques certainly suggest a concerted effort to undermine his position.
