“Look across the map,” the Pennsylvania senator said. “It’s like how much anti-Israel rhetoric you can cram into your platform.”
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) continued to spar with his party on Israel-related issues and said at an event on Wednesday that the success of anti-Israel candidates across the country might alienate Jewish voters.
“I’m not a member of the community, but if I was one, it would be bleak as a Jewish voter in the Democratic Party,” Fetterman said at a conference of the Culture for Peace Institute in Washington.
“You’re willing to support these kinds of candidates across the map?” he said. “Look at Michigan, look at the one in Maine, look at New York City, look across the map.”
The Pennsylvania senator referred to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine, Graham Platner, as examples of what has “infected” his party.
