Fetterman Sees ‘Profound Ramifications’ For Dems Over Filibuster Tactic: ‘We Were So Wrong’

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) remains one of the few rational voices on the left still capable of looking at his party’s political reality. And in his latest barbed criticism of the Democratic Party, including himself, Fetterman took a swipe at the effort in recent years to eliminate the filibuster in the Senate. The Hill reported on his comments: In 2022, Sinema and Manchin, both former Democrats, voted with the Republican party to block Democrats to preserve the 60-vote threshold.  At the time, Fetterman was against their effort and said the filibuster was blocking Democrats from enacting legislation backed by their constituents.  He now says the measure protects the voice of the minority. “We have the risk of if we lose the filibuster, then the rights of the minority — whether that will be Democrat or Republican minority — would have effectively little to no voice,” Fetterman said.  “And if we become a smaller version of the House, that would have profound ramifications for the United States, and that would be dangerous,” he told Miller, who is the wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.  His remarks sparked some discussion on social media: He’s right — Haley Fan (@NikkiHaleyFan02) June 3, 2026 Yeah – although he seems to be the least brain damaged democrat (that actually has brain damage) he’s towing the line – it’s their holy grail to eliminate the filibuster — pack the court – add DC as a state — — bpm (@BillOfReform) June 3, 2026 He’s the lone democrat that makes any sense.

As The Hill recently reported: This week alone, Fetterman accused the Democratic base of becoming “increasingly anti-American.” And almost worse, Democrats say, he was the only Senate Democrat to oppose legislation that would stop the war in Iran.  In a Wednesday appearance on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show, Fetterman cut into Democratic attacks on Trump’s remarks that he is not focused on the financial situations of Americans while negotiating with the Iranian government, arguing Trump’s comments were “clipped.” “He said something that got clipped … saying, ‘I’m not thinking about American people financially,’ but what he really was saying — he did say — is, ‘I’m really thinking that we can’t ever let Iran building a bomb,’” Fetterman told Hannity. All of this comes a couple of weeks after he told Democrats to get over their “Trump derangement syndrome” and agree to build a White House ballroom.  “I think Uncle Fester is a sellout and a fraud, and I look forward to helping do my part to retire him in two years,” Democratic strategist Adam Parkhomenko said.  Here’s a clip of his interview with Miller: This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport.
