Most Democrats have been melting down in response to President Donald Trump ordering one of the most devastating effective military strikes in modern U.S. history.
However, one high-profile Democrat has very different feelings from the rest of his party.
According to Breitbart, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) bucked his party’s messaging on Trump’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Fetterman called the strikes the “correct move.”
The senator has been an ardent supporter and backer of Israel, much to the dismay of his fellow Democrats, especially the radical, pro-Hamas wing.
The Pennsylvania senator is one of the few Democrats in the party able to think and speak logically about hot-button issues without resorting to the party’s talking point playbook, which is usually something anti-Trump.
Fetterman made his stance on the U.S.-led bombing run on Iran’s nuclear facilities crystal clear in an X post the day after the attack occurred.
“As I’ve long maintained, this was the correct move by @POTUS,” Fetterman wrote.
“Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities.
“I’m grateful for and salute the finest military in the world.”

Trump had previously kept his attack plans close to his vest, especially as reporters peppered him with questions over the past two weeks regarding what he was going to do.
Mocking a reporter who pestered him about a timeline, Trump said:
“You don’t seriously think I’m going to answer that question? ‘Will you strike the Iranian nuclear component, and what time exactly, Sir? Sir, would you strike it? Would you please inform us so we can be there and watch?’”
Trump and his closest allies were praised by many for pulling off the extremely complex and tightly coordinated attack on Iran.
Fetterman’s post agreeing that Trump made the right move drew plenty of feedback from his followers and others.
“Please resign and run as a republican,” one angry, presumably Democrat wrote on X.
“Let us nominate a real Democrat.”
Another X user wrote”
“Senator. I have a lot of respect for you and yes it needed to be done.
“Are we prepared for the reaction?”
The world watches and waits to see if and when Iran will retaliate, and what that will ultimately mean for the country.
