“Trump has created a special kind of a hold … and he’s remade the party and he has a special kind of place in Pennsylvania,” Fetterman said Thursday to a crowd at The Atlantic Festival. “And I think that only deepened after that first assassination attempt.”
“I also want people to understand, you know, and it’s not science, but there is, there’s energy and there’s kinds of anger on the ground in Pennsylvania, and people are very committed and strong,” Fetterman said. “Trump is going to be strong and … we have to respect that.
“I’m not going to sit down with a sitting vice president and tell her or say ‘Hey, no, no you better,’” he said. “I’m certainly not going to ‘mansplain’ that [to] the vice
I think he’s just saying don’t take PA for granted and there’s a lot of work. It doesn’t sound like an endorsement at all.
You left out the Trump bootlicking part of what he was quoted as saying in the interview, which I find suspicious:
I thought Democrats, we were the party that was all about second chances and that we’re not going to condemn somebody based on mistakes or things in that kind of situation.
Or do you think the Democrats should give a second chance to a convicted felon who has yet to be sentenced for felonies that Fetterman considers to be mistakes?
Yeah, he’s soft-supporting trump. This quote plus the “trump is going to be strong” line are definitely pro-trump in some fashion, then not wanting to “mansplain”.
Reading this story it still just sounds like he hates the approach they’re taking about campaigning against him.
Do I think saying Trump deserves a “second chance” is dumb and gross given how much the fucker gets away with on a daily basis? Absolutely. This was not a good way to phrase it. This doesn’t sound like someone sucking up to Trump though. It just sounds like someone that doesn’t want to lose PA.

Oh I missed that. TBH I read this from a different story.

Yeah the quote is bad.

He seems to have missed that this election is trump’s third chance, not second.
The felonies are for cheating in the 2016 election. And I think we all remember pretty well how 2020 went.
