MTG says Fox News is making Fetterman seem ‘almost Republican’
Marjorie Taylor Greene criticizes Pennsylvania republicans’ chances of electing a GOP senator, attributing their difficulty to Fox News’s portrayal of Senator John Fetterman as nearly a Republican despite voting with Democrats 91% of the time. Greene claims that Fox News’s extensive coverage makes Fetterman seem more aligned with conservatives, hindering Republican efforts. Fetterman, a long-time Democrat and current Senator, has appeared frequently on Fox News-56 times this year-highlighting a strained relationship with his party. He argues that he hasn’t changed politically but believes the democratic Party has shifted leftward. Despite speculation about switching parties, Fetterman maintains he remains a Democrat, even though he has occasionally diverged from his party on key issues like border security and foreign policy.
Marjorie Taylor Greene says Pennsylvania Republicans will struggle to elect a GOP senator because Fox News makes Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) seem like he’s “almost a Republican.”
“John Fetterman votes with the Democrats 91% of the time yet Fox News loves Fetterman more than actual real conservative Republicans, who they don’t invite on,” Greene wrote on X.
