Fetterman spoils George Santos expulsion party on ‘The View,’ says Menendez should go too

Possibly the only place where Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) can walk in and raise the room’s IQ would be on the set of “The View” and he joined the ladies at the table to share his wisdom.

The Pennsylvania Democrat dropped by Friday’s edition of the popular ABC daytime gabfest where he discussed his ongoing recovery from a debilitating stroke as well as his struggles with depression and managed to spoil the George Santos expulsion party in the process.

Like the rest of the leftist media, the co-hosts were in high spirits after the House voted to nullify the will of voters by booting the embattled New York Republican, but the hulking galoot who showed up in his trademark hoodie put a damper on things when he said that crooked Dem Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) should also be kicked out of Congress.

“You’ve also been calling to get rid of Menendez, I know. But first, before we talk about that, what’s your reaction to the expulsion?” Joy Behar asked, looking for the fashion-challenged senator to spike the ball.

“Well, it’s like — I’m not surprised. But to me, I think the more important picture is that we have a colleague in the Senate that actually did much more sinister and serious kind of things: Senator Menendez. He needs to go,” Fetterman responded. “And if you are going to expel Santos, how can you allow somebody like Menendez to remain in the Senate?”

“And, you know, Santos’s kind of lies were almost funny and, like, he landed on the moon and that kind of stuff. Whereas, you know, I think, you know, Menendez, I think is really a senator for Egypt, not New Jersey,” he continued. “So, I really think he needs to go, and especially it’s kind of strange that if Santos is not allowed to remain in the House, you know, someone like that…”

“Are you, though, uncomfortable with the fact that there hasn’t been an adjudication, that while he’s been charged, there hasn’t been a conviction?” asked the show’s house racist Sunny Hostin who, along with the easily combustible Ana Navarro, defended Menendez.

“Menendez,” Behar clarified. “With Menendez.”

Fetterman answered, “I am, I am, and it’s like he has the right for his day in court and all that, but he doesn’t have the right to have those kind of votes and things that — that’s not a right, and I think we need to make that kind of decision to send him out,” he said, taking a zero tolerance approach to possibly the most corrupt members of the Senate, which is saying a lot.

The lovable lunk likened his Senate colleague to a fictitious mob boss during an MSNBC appearance after the news of Menendez’s indictment broke.

“Honestly, I was actually surprised that I was the first one. I mean, it’s so black and white. I mean, it’s so clear. The last time there’s ever been a man with so much cash in their home in New Jersey was Tony Soprano. You know? I mean, it’s not a— it’s not a— it’s not a close call, and if you were looking for the most incriminating kinds of evidence, nobody could even come up with gold bars in a mattress,” Fetterman said.

The slovenly senator has bucked his party recently, taking a hard line on Menendez who was indicted on foreign bribery charges after federal agents seized hundreds of thousands of dollars and a cache of gold bars from his New Jersey home and, more recently, over his support for Israel which infuriated the Jew-haters of the Democrat base.
