Sen. John Fetterman Lashes Out at Sen. Bernie Sanders.
During a fiery interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday night, Fetterman was asked why he appears to be one of the few Democrats openly challenging the growing power of the progressive movement.
The Pennsylvania senator responded with a blistering attack on Sanders' political record.
'I'd just like to remind everybody watching right now that Bernie Sanders will never represent any more than about 640,000 people in Vermont,' Fetterman said.
'That's all he's ever done, and he ever will do. He's never won an actual competitive election.'
Fetterman's comments came after Sanders said this about longtime Democrat strategist James Carville:
Here's what I would have said to Sanders:
Just since when were in you in MY party, Sen. Sanders, in the past 57 years? For a few months each time you ran for president?
You weren't a Democrat when you ran unsuccessfully for office in 1968.
You weren't a Democrat when you were elected as mayor of Burlington, VT in 1981.
You weren't a Democrat when you were elected to the U.S. House in 1990.
And weren't a Democrat when you were elected to the Senate in 2006.
So, please, stop with the cow dung about being a Democrat.
(Of course, I'd have a lot more credibility saying that than John Trump-Ass Kissing Fetterman.)

If Mr. Carville doesn’t want to be in my party, the party I belong to, that Piker, that El-Sayed belongs to, he can start his own party,” Sanders said, referring to Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who defeated Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) in the state’s Democratic primary on Tuesday.
