Sen. John Fetterman is pushing back against hysteric left-wing claims that Donald Trump is a fascist.
In an interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl, the Pennsylvania Senator started by reflecting on the political talent that Trump showed following the first assassination attempt against him.
“After you survived an assassination, you literally were shot in your head and had the presence of mind to respond, you know, fight, fight, fight. I mean, that’s a political talent.”
“It’s undeniable. And also, I never believed that it was about fascism. And for me, that made it difficult.”
Karl then interjected by pointing out that Kamala Harris had described Trump as a “fascist” during her ill-fated presidential campaign.
“Yeah, well, it’s like that’s her prerogative,” he responded. “I mean, but it’s not a word that I would use because you put a lot of Democrats, especially in my state, that I know and I happen to love people that are going to vote for Trump. And they are not fascists.
“Fascist, that’s not a word that regular people use,” Fetterman continued. “I think people are going to decide who is the candidate that’s going to protect and project, you know, my version of the American way of life. And that’s what happened.”

Rather than crying over Trump’s election victory, Fetterman has also pledged to work with the Trump administration and has met with some of his cabinet appointees to help determine whether he will support their confirmation.
After meeting with Trump's candidate for Secretary of State, Pete Hegseth, Fetterman said he also be meeting with other candidates to discuss what they plan to do in office.
“I believe that it’s appropriate and the responsibility of a U.S. Senator to have a conversation with President-elect Trump’s nominees,” Fetterman wrote on the X platform.
“That’s why I met with Elise Stefanik and Pete Hegseth, just wrapped with Tulsi Gabbard, and look forward to my meetings with others soon.”
