Like many young Pennsylvanians, I’ve been disappointed to watch Sen. John Fetterman flounder in his elected role of representing us. We were told (by him and his family) that we would be getting a progressive champion of human rights, and instead we get a worse-dressed version of Sen. Joe Manchin, who built a career capitulating from special interest to special interest and ignoring the voices who spoke his name at the ballot box.

Sometimes it takes extra time to recognize a bully, and Fetterman’s recent tack of playing the victim from the left and the right while provoking both the left and the right is no different than the gaslighting style of an indicted former president. It’s gross, and it shows me that he isn’t taking his role seriously. I’m waiting for my apology.
