The Fetterman Transition Is Nearly Complete After He Calls His Own Party ‘An Orgy of Socialism’

The specifics he named are exactly right. Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed — “these garbage kinds of people like El-Sayed in Michigan” — campaigned with Hasan Piker, who said America deserved September 11th and praised Mao Zedong after October 7. Troy Jackson, the Maine replacement for Nazi-tattoo-sporting Graham Platner, is endorsed by the DSA. And Platner himself was, per Fetterman: “An accused rapist.”

He’s been saying versions of this for months. He called them communists when El-Sayed won Michigan. He called Mamdani a clown over the Netanyahu arrest theater. He refused to campaign against Republican colleague Dave McCormick. He posted that 58% of Democrats viewing socialism favorably is “lunacy” and declared himself a “proud free market capitalist.” Every time he does any of this, his Democratic colleagues stare at their shoes and say nothing.

That silence is the entire story.

James Carville threatens to leave the party over socialism — he won’t. Hillary Clinton calls the socialist takeover a “healthy experiment” at a Hamptons dinner. Hakeem Jeffries accidentally lets Jared Kushner trick him into a meeting and then films a defensive response video in a leprechaun hat. Chuck Schumer is quietly rerouting the Senate map to work around Michigan because he can’t figure out how to get Democrats to vote against El-Sayed.

None of them are doing what Fetterman is doing — saying it plainly, publicly, with their name attached.
