In what could be a miracle of modern medical therapy, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has been a changed man since he underwent treatment for clinical depression last year and it’s driving some people completely bonkers.
The hulking Pennsylvania Democrat was hailed as a progressive hero despite his slobbish work attire and inability to string together three coherent sentences but over the last few months, he has undergone a complete transformation and is now the most sensible lawmaker in his party, especially when it comes to Israel.
Having already infuriated leftists with his staunch support of the Jewish democracy and common sense remarks about illegal immigration, Fetterman sent the highly volatile “Young Turks” founder Cenk Uygur into orbit after stating that Harvard has always been “pinko” but is now unrecognizable.
Uygur exploded on X, over the senator’s remarks last week in an interview with the online outlet Semafor, wailing that Fetterman is a fraud who is turning into a Republican.
“Now @JohnFetterman is telling everyone how he’s not a progressive, he rejects us and is now calling Harvard ‘pinko.’ What the f**k? This is why people lose hope, because of frauds like Fetterman. You work hard to get a progressive elected and they turn into Republicans instantly,” he wailed.

“I’ll never understand that. Calling them ‘colonizers’ — like, where does this come from? It must be TikTok or some kind of obscure classroom talk. As an alum of Harvard — look, I graduated 25 years ago, and of course, it was always a little pinko. But now, I don’t recognize it,” Fetterman said in the interview.
In another X post, the temperamental Turk who is a rabid Israel hater wondered how Fetterman’s voters feel about his not siding with the Hamas terrorists.
Someone should do a poll of @JohnFetterman in PA. I bet his numbers went down significantly after he became the biggest cheerleader for the establishment, biggest supporter of killing innocent Palestinians in Gaza and a huge backer of Biden. That’s not at all who they voted for.

X users seemed to sense that Uygur was badly in need of a stuffed animal to cuddle but flogged him with ridicule instead.
I’m sorry this is happening to you, pinko

Fetterman literally went to a mental hospital and now he’s no longer a progressive. Whatever therapy he went through should be studied and replicated across the country and world. https://t.co/ZNZxhS94TR

He was a progressive then got mental health care. Good for him for his newfound sanity.

I bet Fetterman’s numbers went UP, he doesn’t need the #antisemite, #racist Performative ‘Progressives’ and Keffiyeh Karens pogroming for Palestinian child rapists/bakers/beheaders/war starters/genociders and hostagers anymore and there are lot more rational people who initially…

It’s telling that the most sensible democrat is the one who had a stroke and then spent time in a mental hospital. https://t.co/LPfOEpKnor

Fetterman’s a regular union guy. You see them in bars all the time. They dislike Republicans…but they HATE Communists. https://t.co/snvd1u7Yc6

Isn’t that great? Now, if we can just get him to wear a suit…

Uygur’s diaper dumping about the new and improved Fetterman started before the 2024 New Year’s baby even showed up.
Fetterman has gone from the last great populist hope on the Democratic side to worse than useless. He’s now enthusiastically taken on the role of mouthpiece for the establishment who attacks anyone challenging Biden or the powerful. Counterproductive poser. #Fraud #PutOnASuit

“Fetterman has gone from the last great populist hope on the Democratic side to worse than useless.

Counterproductive poser,” the prog blowhard complained in December.
“I’m not a progressive,” Fetterman told NBC News last month.
