Showing Original Post only (View all)Fetterman: Democrats should 'drop the TDS,' fund Trump ballroom after shooting [View all]
Or Fetterman kisses Trump's ass and says "Yummy I want some more of that."Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) is calling on fellow Democrats to support the construction of a new ballroom at the White House after a lone gunman tried to assassinate the president and senior administration officials at the White House Correspondents Association dinner Saturday.
Fetterman said the Washington Hilton, where Secret Service officers exchanged gunfire with a 31-year-old man armed with a shotgun and handgun, was not secure enough to host an event with the president, vice president and more than 2,000 guests.
We were there front and center. That venue wasnt built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government. After witnessing last night, drop the TDS and build the White House ballroom for events exactly like these, Fetterman posted Sunday on the social platform X, referring to Trump derangement syndrome, a term the president uses for his critics.
Fetterman attached his comment to an article by Mediaite Editor-in-Chief Joe DePaolo with the headline, I Was Inside the Washington Hilton Tonight. The Security was Downright Awful.

Speaking as a stroke survivor John, I'm so sorry you didn't recover from yours.

OP
They not only want to build the ballroom, they want to use our tax money to pay for it.

Given Trump promised it was not going to be funded by the Tax Payers, I say fuck that

Fetterman, you have one vote and that does not give you the leverage to lobby anyone else in your party.
