Sen. John Fetterman Suggests Joe Biden Borrow From Donald Trump's Playbook
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) offered some advice to President Joe Biden on Tuesday, but his suggestions seemed more like something out of Donald Trump’s playbook.
Biden is currently trying to ease the fears of some Democrats about his fitness for a second term, following a disastrous debate performance against his GOP rival late last month.
Fetterman has consistently supported keeping Biden as the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee, reminding voters that Biden beat Trump in the 2020 election.
But journalist Andrew Desiderio probably didn’t expect what Fetterman would say when he asked the Pennsylvania senator if he “plans on speaking up for Biden” while meeting with fellow Democrats.
That’s because his response sounded very ... Trumpian.
“I’m gonna suggest maybe we can encourage Joe Biden to bang a porn star or maybe he could become consumed with revenge and say crazy things and have a plan for 2025, ” the senator told Desiderio, referencing some of Democrats’ recenttalkingpoints about the former president.
Just asked Sen. Fetterman (D-Pa.) if he plans on speaking up for Biden at the Dem lunch in a bit. His response:
“I’m gonna suggest maybe we can encourage Joe Biden to bang a porn star or maybe he could become consumed with revenge and say crazy things and have a plan for 2025…”— Andrew Desiderio (@AndrewDesiderio) July 9, 2024
Although it’s unlikely that Biden will follow Fetterman’s advice, his suggestions got positive support from people on X, formerly Twitter.
Fetterman gets something the “serious” professional Dems don’t:

it is entirely appropriate considering the nature and tone of Biden's opponent. Being mature and intelligent is wonderful when appropriate however Trump is anything but and Fetterman is highlighting that, saying that Biden should go down to Trump's level so he can get more…
