The flag waved in the wind, but Fetterman appeared unmoved as the protesters on the ground shouted over and over again: “Fetterman, Fetterman, you can’t hide. You’re supporting genocide.”
“I’m not too proud to admit that I misjudged @SenFettermanPA,” Jen Wright posted via X. “And I will also note, IMHO, it is never ok to protest at someone’s home. It is an intimidation tactic and is abhorrent. Protest in the public square. Leave families out of it!!”

“The recent actions of Fetterman going against the Dems has been awesome! I bet super progressive Dems feel like wrestling fans did when Hogan flipped and joined the NWO,” another posted.

Fetterman has repeatedly riled the far left, progressive wing of the Democrat Party — particularly in recent weeks — primarily over his support for Israel and his assessment of the chaos at the U.S. Mexico border.
Shortly after the October 7th attacks, perpetrated by Hamas terrorists against Israeli civilians, Fetterman papered his entire Senate office with the missing posters of Israelis who had been kidnapped and taken into Gaza during the initial attack. He said at the time that those posters would remain on his wall until the hostages were released.
Fetterman also lashed out when South Africa accused Israel of “committing genocide” at The Hague.
“Who are … they really fighting?” Fetterman asked of Hamas. “It’s a group of cowards. They hide in tunnels; they hide behind civilians. They attack, kill, mutilate children, women; and they do that. Stop talking about proportion on that. They shot their best shot on October 7, and they would have taken more lives if they could have … but they couldn’t do it.”
“And now let’s also talk about that: Now we’re talking about genocide,” he continued, turning to the topic of South Africa. “And now, South Africa now, is bringing that kind of a trial. Maybe South Africa … ought to sit this one out when they’re talking about criticizing Israel. Sit it out!”
