Democrat Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has continued to push back against the radical Left wing of his party by declaring that he is “not woke.”
During a New York Post interview this week, Fetterman asserted that he is against so-called “squatters’ rights.”
The senator then declared, “I am not woke.”
Fetterman sat down for the interview at vegan mecca Eleven Madison Park.
According to interviewer Jon Levine, Fetterman brought his own red meat and plenty of it.
“Squatters have no rights,” Fetterman said.
Fetterman told Levine that he dealt with the issue as mayor of working-class Braddock, Pennsylvania.
“How can you even pretend that this is anything other than you’re just breaking the law?” the senator said.
“I am not woke,” Fetterman warned.
“It’s wild, that if you go away on a long trip, for 30 days, and someone breaks into your home and suddenly they have rights.
“This is crazy,” he said.
“Like if somebody stole your car, and then they held it for 30 days, then somehow you now have some rights?”
Fetterman segued into crime overall after talking about squatting.
He then made it clear he is not going to be soft on the issue.
“I have gone to police funerals,” Fetterman said in reference to NYPD officer Jonathan Diller‘s shooting death while on duty.
“If this individual is convicted, then he should spend the rest of his life in prison, and never have an opportunity to get out.”
He pointed out that Diller’s alleged killer had 21 arrests and should not have gone free to be able to shoot Diller.
The senator said he believes in second chances but not 20 of them.
“We have to be very smart and aggressive on crime,” he said.
Fetterman overcame a stroke in the months before the election and was at the time compared to Democrat President Joe Biden in terms of mental decline.
He appears more capable now, however.
He has become something of a maverick among the Democrats during his tenure in the Senate.
His tough stance on crime and stridently supporting Israel have clashed with the rest of his party.
And then there are the hoodies and athletic shorts he loves to wear even when most of his colleagues are dressed in suits.
Nevertheless, even though some of his stances sound good, don’t be fooled.
Fetterman remains a long-term radical leftist who is strongly supporting a second Biden term.
The senator also plans to be a “surrogate” in Pennsylvania for Biden.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day, but let’s hope he’s wrong about Biden winning Pennsylvania in November, however narrowly.
