Overview
- Speaking with CNN’s Dana Bash, Sen. John Fetterman said the most vicious personal attacks he receives come from the far left, not conservatives.
- Fetterman said his digital team identified Bluesky as the platform with the harshest, most personal abuse directed at him.
- He described posts cheering for another stroke and wishing for his death, prompting Bash to react on-air with, “Oh my gosh.”
- He was discussing his new book, Unfettered, which recounts his 2022 stroke and includes a line calling far-left vitriol the “most poisonous.”
- Newsweek noted his comments follow votes with Republicans to end the shutdown, drawing fresh backlash on social media as conservative media amplify his critique and public figures like Bill Maher echo concerns about Democratic “meanness.”
