Fetterman defends joint fundraising committee with GOP colleague: ‘Why is it bizarre?’

U.S. Sen. John Fetterman continues to show that he is the last Democrat willing to reach across the aisle to serve his constituents.

At a time when politics feels more like a war of attrition rather than elected officials uniting to improve the lives of Americans, Fetterman is providing hope that there are still people who understand the job.

Watch:

While speaking to CNN, it was brought up that Fetterman established a PAC with Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., which was dubbed “unusual in this political climate.”

“Why is it bizarre when there are plenty of donors that have enough shared interest?” Fetterman asked. “There’s a lot of things that Dave McCormick are gonna work together [on]. So I’m not sure why that’s really an issue. [He’s] an individual behind a lot of the agriculture industry; I mean, I’m on AG, and now Dave McCormick is going to support agriculture. It’s not some sinister thing; I’m not changing my party. If I was gonna change this party, I would have done that by now. They’ve been offering plenty of things.”

Some X users were not happy with the arrangement:
