At one time I liked John Fetterman, but I always thought he was a bit of a phony. He visited Carbon County twice to speak to the Carbon County Dems for Progress and sounded good, but his actual accomplishments were rather meager.
He was mayor of Braddock, PA, but that was not a big deal. Braddock has fewer residents than either Nesquehoning or Lansford. I thought the tattoos of the homicide victims in Braddock were a bit much, and his handling of his health problems was immature at best. Then there was the whole hoodie/shorts silliness.
The person I really liked was his wife. She was smart and gave a much better stump speech than her husband.
I don’t know what to make of his current attitude. I can understand the need to reach out to Trump supporters, but to make the pilgrimage to Trump’s lair in Florida did not sit well with me. The statements defending ICE are reprehensible. His behavior toward his staff is reprehensible. His driving puts people at risk and is reprehensible. If he is unable to carry out his duties, he needs to resign.
The whole thing makes me very sad.
