Sen. John Fetterman said the criticism from some on the left that he has made a rightward shift recently is “not true,” and said he has no plans to change his party affiliation while being interviewed Monday on “The View.”
“Now, there are those on the left who feel like you have made a rightward shift recently — going to Mar-a-Lago, joining Truth Social, your positions on issues like immigration, fracking — what do you say to those who are now, in a sense, questioning your commitment to the Democratic Party?” co-host Sunny Hostin asked the Pennsylvania Democrat.
“I am not going to become a Republican,” Fetterman said. “I would make a pretty terrible Republican because, you know, pro-choice, pro-really strong immigration, pro-LGBTQ … like, I don’t think I’d be a good fit.”
“So, I’m not going to change my party. And if I am going to do, I’m going to show up. I’ll give you the exclusive,” the senator joked.
“I can’t keep chasing down every last thing that’s online, because they just happen not to be true,” he continued. “And just look at my votes. Look at the things that I haven’t changed in a way.”
