Fetterman criticizes Mamdani, calling him a &#8220;clown&#8221; and emphasizing that a mayor does not have the authority to make arrests or enforce international warrants. Fetterman also points out Mamdani&#8217;s unrealistic expectations and dismisses his attempt to justify the claim by referencing the International Criminal Court,noting that the U.S. is not a member. The discussion touches on broader themes of pro-Israel sentiment within the Democratic Party, with Fetterman expressing concern that rising anti-Israel views among some progressives could threaten his political standing.He defends standing with Israel as a core Democratic value and warns against embracing anti-Semitic rhetoric promoted by certain leftist figures.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Democratic Sen.

But you can\u2019t order people to arrest anybody, any more than I could have him arrested if he goes to Pennsylvania,\u201d \u00a0Fetterman said, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2026\/jul\/23\/fetterman-calls-mamdani-clown-netanyahu-arrest-threat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s \u2014 it\u2019s a joke, and he\u2019s a clown. \u2026 So, sit down, you know you\u2019re a clown,\u201d Fetterman said.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman\u2019s comments reprised comments he made Sunday, as noted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/fetterman-calls-zohran-mamdani-clown-over-push-arrest-netanyahu-new-york-city\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman mocked Mamdani as \u201csuch a tough guy to say that kind of thing.

Just sit down and focus on other\u2026 problems that they have in New York. That\u2019s really not your purview. You and I know that. Sit down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Fetterman said that if the anti-Israel views Mamdani and fellow progressives hold should spread, his future as a Democrat could be in question. The growing influence of open anti-Semites, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/leftist-hasan-piker-says-israel-not-right-exist-compares-jewish-state-nazi-germany\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leftist influencer Hasan Piker<\/a>, could drive him out, he suggested.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat would force me to kind of reevaluate, should I remain as a Democrat,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cIf we became the kind of party that would embrace someone like Hasan Piker, maybe my party doesn\u2019t want like a reasonable, commonsense kind of Democrat that reminds people that standing with Israel \u2026 used to be part of our core values and one of the reasons why I\u2019ve been I\u2019m proud to be a Democrat.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
