Fetterman Isn’t Blue Collar, He’s A Far-Left Radical Who Supports Biden’s Disastrous Economic Agenda, Soft-On-Crime Policies, And Wants To Kill Fracking

WHY’S FETTERMAN HIDING?

Today, John Fetterman is having his first in-person rally in over two months.
- Biden hid in his basement, and now the Fetterman campaign is running the same playbook to shield him from questions about his radical agenda.

FETTERMAN ISN’T A WORKING CLASS EVERYMAN, HE’S A FAR-LEFT PHONY

Fetterman’s persona of being a “everyman” and “blue-collar tough guy” is a lie; after his “incredibly privileged” upbringing his “main source of income” well into his 40s came from an allowance his parents provided him.
Two years ago at the height of the pandemic, Fetterman jetted off to a “premier resort” on the Jersey Shore as he told Pennsylvanians to “stay home” and mask up.
Fetterman is a far-left progressive and has campaigned on bringing Bernie Sanders’ far-left agenda to Pennsylvania.
When he was mayor, Fetterman chased an unarmed black man jogging through his neighborhood with his shotgun drawn and said it was “impossible to say” if he would do it again.
Fetterman was frequently a “no-show” mayor, with records proving he skipped at least 53 council meetings during his time as mayor of Braddock.

FETTERMAN HAS FAILED PENNSYLVANIA WORKERS AND SUPPORTS BIDEN’S INFLATIONARY SPENDING

Fetterman supports Democrats’ radical Bidenflation Scam bill that will raise taxes on workers making as little as $20,000 a year and increase IRS audits on small businesses and working families.
- Fetterman’s desire to raise taxes doesn’t stop there, he has been a vocal supporter of an excise tax on soda, which even Bernie Sanders called “a regressive way to raise funds.”
Fetterman openly supported Biden’s $1.9 trillion tax and spending spree that even Obama’s economists admit was the “original sin” of inflation.
Democrat Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf and Lt. Gov. John Fetterman have failed to bring jobs back after the pandemic, with the state ranking 34^th nationally for jobs recovered.
- Under the Wolf-Fetterman administration the Keystone State is tied for the fourth highest unemployment rate in the nation.

FETTERMAN WANTS TO KILL FRACKING JOBS

Fetterman wants to destroy the Pennsylvania energy industry, killing hundreds of thousands of middle-class jobs in the process.
Fetterman called the Pennsylvania fracking industry a “stain” on the state and said, “if we did things right in this state, we wouldn’t have fracking.”
- Pennsylvania is the second-largest natural gas producer in America.
Fetterman repeatedly has called for a ban on fracking.
- In 2018, Fetterman claimed: “No, I don’t support fracking at all, and I never have.”
- In 2018, Fetterman said: “I don’t support fracking. I think it’s something that has to eventually go away and I would like to see it transition out.”
- In 2016, Fetterman signed a pledge to ban fracking across Pennsylvania.
A fracking ban would kill a total of 609,000 Pennsylvania jobs while taking $261 billion out of the state’s economy.
Fetterman has praised Biden for canceling the Keystone pipeline, which killed 11,000 jobs, saying he “made the right call.”

FETTERMAN IS ANOTHER SOFT-ON-CRIME DEMOCRAT

Fetterman supports soft-on-crime policies that put Pennsylvanians’ safety at risk.
- In 2020, Fetterman criticized a judge for setting bail too high for rioters charged with felony arson.
- In 2019, Fetterman told prisoners serving life in prison, “we have the best opportunity in 40 years to get people out.”
- In 2015, Fetterman called for decriminalizing all drugs, not just marijuana.
- 13 sheriffs from across Pennsylvania have called out Fetterman’s soft-on-crime policies
Fetterman is the chair of the state Board of Pardons and has voted to release more criminals sentenced to life in prison than any other member of the panel.
- Fetterman argued that anyone convicted of second degree murder who did not “physically” “pull the trigger” should not serve life in prison.
- Fetterman’s only appointment to the Board of Pardons was a far-left “disarm the police” activist that has openly called for first degree murderers to not receive life in prison for their brutal crimes.
Fetterman openly admitted, “Sanctuary cities is another policy that I very much support” and claimed that they “make everybody safer.”
- A Zogby poll found 76 percent of Pennsylvanians support the removal of sanctuary cities in the U.S.
Defund-the-police supporter Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) proudly endorsed Fetterman.
- He has also received the endorsement of Philadelphia’s far-left district attorney Larry Krasner, who has played a central role in spiking crime in the city over the last year.
Thanks to Pennsylvania Democrats’ horrific soft-on-crime agenda, Philadelphia broke its all-time record for homicides in 2021 with 562 homicide victims, and is currently on pace to potentially “surpass the homicide toll of 2021.”
- It’s not just homicides, with Philadelphia seeing armed robberies and commercial burglaries up nearly 50 percent while auto theft is up 30 percent in 2022.
- Recent polling found that 70 percent of Philadelphia’s residents think that crime, drugs, and public safety are the biggest issues in the city.
- Democrat-run Pittsburgh has also seen a spike in crime with the city experiencing 21 percent more homicides so far this year compared to this point last year.

FETTERMAN SUPPORTS WOKE GENDER IDEOLOGY

Fetterman answered “yes” when asked if biological males should be allowed to play in women’s sports.
- A Franklin & Marshall College poll found 64 percent of registered Pennsylvania voters support laws that restrict biological men from competing in women’s sports.
Fetterman even recruited radical gender theory activist Val Arkoosh to help his campaign.
- Arkoosh has regularly called restricting “gender-affirming” surgeries for children and protecting women’s sports a “gross violation” of “human rights.”
The Pennsylvania Department of Education – under the Wolf-Fetterman administration – suggests woke “gender neutral pronouns” for students such as “ne, ve, ze/zie and xe.”
- Under Fetterman and Wolf, the state Department of Education advocates for a “gender neutral day” where students will pick two or three ways they will reject gender stereotypes and challenge gender norms.

FETTERMAN IS AN ABORTION RADICAL

Fetterman doesn’t believe in any limits on abortion.
- A Franklin & Marshall College poll found only 31 percent of Keystone State voters agree abortion should be legal “under any circumstances.”
Fetterman went so far as to call abortion “sacred” and said he would always vote in favor of abortion “without any qualification whatsoever.”
- Fetterman even advocated for “strengthening” abortion giant Planned Parenthood.
- Fetterman has said he wants to eliminate the Senate filibuster to “codify” abortion without any limits.
