Sen. John Fetterman is selling 'body double' T-shirts, leaning into the right-wing conspiracy theory : politics

Libs love this shit.

Example

This strategy is incredible at dismantling these conspiracies. They feed off thinking they are an in crowd, in on a secret they are uncovering. Even in sarcasm, the open admission of these ridiculous claims completely robs them of their power.

Fetterman: I'll Never Understand Progressives Who Won't Support Biden

Sen. John Fetterman has a message for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party: get in line behind President Joe Biden.

"Get behind Joe Biden's policies, or you're gonna get behind Trump's policies," said the Pennsylvania Democrat.

Fetterman made the remarks during a sit-down with reporters in his Senate office on Tuesday, answering questions with the help of a tablet that displays an instant transcript of reporters' spoken questions. He continues to recover from an auditory processing disorder caused by a stroke that happened during the 2022 campaign.

To illustrate his point, Fetterman hearkened back to his own support for Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign as the mayor of Braddock, even after he had supported Sen. Bernie Sanders during the primary.

"In 2016, you know, I was a surrogate for Senator Clinton. And it's just like, you have a choice," said Fetterman. "And if you don't get behind Senator Clinton, you know, you are voting for Trump. And that's exactly what happened in Pennsylvania, and it's devastating."

"Now we know how Trump is like, now you're just gonna be like 'nah, I don't like [him],'" Fetterman continued. "I will never understand that."
