Dems behind ‘sanctioned op’ targeting Sen. Fetterman with Former Staffers X account, critics say

September 5, 2026 | | Print Article

Former staffers of Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman (D) continued concerted efforts against the lawmaker with a new X account promising future revelations after a “tip of the iceberg.”

Baby murder and open borders likely come to mind, but when considering the priorities of the Democratic Party, toeing the line remains top of its list. As such, Fetterman’s refusal to budge to the rabid — and growing — anti-Israel and terrorist sympathizing wing of the party appears to have placed him under fire from an alleged “sanctioned op” from an anonymous group of self-styled former staffers.

In the wake of a report from The Wall Street Journal, the launch of a new X account dubbed Former Fetterman Staffers brought with it the promise of damning screenshots, writing by way of introduction, “Hello, Twitter. We’re a group of former campaign & Senate staffers for John Fetterman who are disgusted with what he’s become. If you were troubled by yesterday’s Wall Street Journal story… trust us, that’s just the tip of the iceberg.”

“It’s even worse than you thought,” continued the account, adding, “We’ve come together to share our stories (and screenshots …) to show Pennsylvanians exactly who their Senator is. Set your calendar for September 14th — the day the Senate is back in session — for our first drop. (Let’s be honest, maybe the 15th: he’ll skip Monday’s votes).”

As was reported, the Wall Street Journal published a story Thursday citing former staffers in detailing the lawmaker’s absence from 11 of 12 committee hearings at one point and asserting, “Behind closed doors, John Fetterman dodges constituents, alienates fellow Democrats and shows little interest in the work of a senator.”

The report also alleged that Fetterman faked an illness on one occasion, missing a meeting with three paralyzed military veterans, but arriving at the office an hour later to participate in a Fox News interview.

The debut of the new soapbox from which to lambaste the Pennsylvania lawmaker whom many expect to cross the aisle some time before the 2028 election, found the X account Enguerrand VII de Coucy reacting, “Under normal circumstances this kind of thing would be the death knell for a staffers career, but since this is a sanctioned op by the Democratic Party itself I guess you fellas don’t have that concern, do you? Certainly hope Fetterman reads the writing on the wall and jumps ship.”

While the account was hardly alone in sniffing out coordinated messaging from the Democrats, leftists and the terminally Trump-deranged were giddy at the potential of fresh chum getting dumped in the waters to frenzy over.

As failed congressional candidate George Conway put it, “Welcome to Twitter. Time to make some popcorn.”

Meanwhile, across the political divide, the former staffers were called out for hiding behind anonymity as well as for locking step against free thinking. Nationally syndicated radio host Dana Loesch was among those slamming the account, stating, “Socialists hate anything not hive mind so of course the impotent cowards are targeting Fetterman. Pound sand, traitors.”
