Fetterman: "I Am Not Woke"

He really isn't, is he?

First, my customary disclaimer: I firmly believe John Fetterman and his media enablers ran one of the most dishonest political campaigns in recent memory. If it had been up to me, he would’ve gone home to recover from his near-fatal stroke, instead of lurching around humiliating himself and making his staffers come up with ridiculous excuses for his obvious cognitive impairment. No, it was not an “auditory processing issue.”

And, also, in addition to that: As a United States senator, Fetterman keeps saying good things and driving the libs crazy.

Last week Fetterman sat down with Jon Levine from the NY Post at a fancy restaurant in Manhattan, where they both dressed like… well, like John Fetterman. And he said some good things. He even said some funny things.

Here are a few representative quotes:

“I’m opening doors for other slobs… We’re advancing the frontier of how you can really dress and still go out and have a nice time at an elite restaurant.”

“I am not woke.”

“Do you have any gold bars? I would love some for my mattress.” [To the wait staff, in reference to Bob Menendez]

“Anytime I make The Post, it makes my dad proud.”

“Squatters have no rights... How can you even pretend that this is anything other than you’re just breaking the law?”

“We have to be very smart and aggressive on crime.”

“It’s reasonable if you want to criticize [Israel], but to call for effectively like a regime change, I disagree… I didn’t agree [with most of his fellow Democrats] because Israel is a democracy, it is our key special ally. And our nation wouldn’t appreciate any kind of foreign input. So why should we do that for Israel?”

I don’t like how he got where he is, but I like what he’s doing with his newfound status.

And I respect him for saying these things in defiance of his own enablers. Journalists and other Democrats lied their asses off to put him in office — I’m talking to you, Kara Swisher — and now he’s driving them crazy by insisting on the truth. I’ve never seen anything like it.

I still think he should be resting at home. But as long as he’s got this job, I like what he’s doing with it.¹
