If the M$NOW can only bring themselves to call it a "gaffe", Fox and CBS will gush over how BRAVE it was to say this out loud. "You cannot have the enemy believing that your leader's hands are tied due to petty concerns like the financial situation of people back at home! It's a disadvantage in negotiations!"

Then they'll have panels of 3-4 talking heads, with each trying to one-up the other in terms of their effusive praise for how "brave" and "strong" it was of IQ47 to mouth these words. Fetterman will probably make an appearance in at least one of them.

And WaPo and NYT will probably publish op-eds tomorrow from people at Rand and the Heritage Foundation making the case that what he's REALLY REALLY doing is putting America First!

It will officially be a "nothingburger, overblown by TDS Democrats" across the entire M$M ecosystem by breakfast tomorrow, and never spoken of again within 24 hours.
