In a rare moment of clarity from the Democrat Party, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) broke ranks and sharply rebuked radical New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her knee-jerk call to impeach President Donald Trump after his decisive, successful, and peaceful strike on Iranian assets.
Fetterman, who has not shied away from criticizing Trump in the past, surprisingly took to Fox News on Monday and delivered a strong rebuke to the leftist firebrand. When asked about AOC’s demand to remove Trump from office over the Iran strike, Fetterman didn’t mince words.
“He’s been impeached twice, and now he’s still our president,” the Pennsylvania senator said. “It’s not going anywhere, and I don’t think that’s helpful.”
He went on to warn about trivializing impeachment, a tactic Democrats have gleefully embraced during Trump’s presidency: “I think if you throw that term around, that actually diminishes what the severity of what impeachment is really reserved for.”
Fetterman’s comments came in the wake of President Trump ordering a military strike on Iranian assets Sunday, which he defended as a strong and justified move. “It was the correct move,” Fetterman said—shocking words from a member of a party that usually reflexively opposes anything Trump does.
But AOC, sticking to her playbook of outrage and overreach, called the action a “grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers,” using the incident to launch another baseless call for impeachment.
Even some Republicans voiced concern about escalating involvement in Iran, with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene urging the President not to plunge the U.S. into another conflict, but rejecting the idea that Trump deserved impeachment for protecting American interests.
The tension with Iran escalated further Monday when the regime fired 10 missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar in retaliation, despite Trump’s calls for de-escalation and peace after Sunday’s strike.
While war hawks and anti-Trump Democrats clamor for chaos, Fetterman’s unexpected criticism of AOC’s impeachment crusade signals a growing frustration within his party over the far-left’s obsession with attacking Trump—no matter the cost to national security or constitutional credibility.
There should be a basic reading skill test before someone can run for Congress…..
Finally someone with some common sense talking against AOC. Someone should give AOC a pacifier dipped in Super Glue. She couldn’t make it on her own as a bartender so she decided to become a politician. God help us.
