Sen. John Fetterman Calls Out Democrat Party Over Violent Rhetoric

Democrat Sen. John Fetterman is calling out his own party for spewing out hateful propaganda that incites violence.

During an appearance with Fox News‘s Bret Baier and Republican Sen. Dave McCormick, Fetterman took aim at the radical left’s dangerous rhetoric.

“Do not ever, ever, ever compare anyone to Hitler,” Fetterman warned.

He went on, “If you do, then you will incite somebody to say, well, now I feel like I have to stop, to stop that and take them out.”

Transcript from RealClearPolitics:

BRET BAIER: Well tonight, in our Common Ground segment, a conversation on bringing the nation together, or trying to, to restore civility in politics. Joining me, Pennsylvania Senators Dave McCormick and John Fetterman. Pennsylvania, by the way, is one of only three states with a Democrat and Republican split in the U.S. Senate. Senators, thanks for being here. You all called me. Usually we reach out. You wanted to do this together. Why?

SEN. JOHN FETTERMAN (D-PA): Well, I mean, we thought it was just a great idea. I think it’s an important idea right now. I mean, the trauma after the Charlie Kirk assassination, and now, as things continue now, it’s like, I feel like it’s important that people can witness, you know, a Democrat and a Republican having a conversation after this. It’s absolutely horrific, and it’s entirely necessary to allow people to grieve for that. I mean, everyone’s seen the video.

SEN. DAVE MCCORMICK (R-PA): Yeah, it’s just the, the heartbreak, you feel for Charlie Kirk’s family, Eric and their children, and all the students across the country, the people across the country that were huge followers. And I think the Senator and I agreed that, and we, we do agree that there, there’s just no place in this country, for political violence. It, it’s absolutely something, it runs counter to the very idea of free, free speech and freedom, and that when you see, dangerous rhetoric, like fascist and Nazism and authoritarianism, that’s a, and, and the end of democracy, that’s a, that’s a permission. That takes us down a path where the inevitable next step is, is violence, and, and that’s what we see.

BRET BAIER: And Senator Fetterman, you’ve talked about that recently, calling somebody Hitler, calling somebody Nazis.

SEN. JOHN FETTERMAN (D-PA): Exactly, this idea, it’s like, do not ever, ever, ever compare anyone to Hitler. If not, go online and you can read up on exactly what he’s responsible for, you know, 75 to 80 million lives lost in World War II, and you don’t compare him to anyone. And if you do, then you will incite somebody to say, well, now I feel like I have to stop, to stop that and take them out.

This is the second time Sen. Fetterman has condemned his own party since Charlie Kirk was murdered.

A few days ago, he urged fellow Dems to “turn the temperature down.”

Once again, John Fetterman is the sole voice of reason in the Democrat party.

What are your thoughts? Do you agree with him?
