Once again, Democrat Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania who suffered a stroke, is coming off as one of the most sensible members of his party.
As Zohran Mamdani rises in the polls for the New York City mayoral race, Fetterman called people in his party ‘morons’ for accepting the ideology of socialism.
He even talks about meeting a person from a socialist country who warned him about the evils of that economic system.
Breitbart News reports:
When asked about a Gallup poll that found that 42 percent of Democrats have a favorable view of capitalism, while 66 percent of Democrats “view socialism favorably,” Fetterman shared how when he was in Croatia, he told people that “some people” in the Democrat Party “are talking about socialism,” and asked people about their thoughts.
“Senator, there’s a Gallup poll that was released that 42 percent of Democratic voters view capitalism favorably, while 66 percent of Democratic voters view socialism favorably. Do you think that’s a messaging issue for Democrats?” a reporter asked.
“Oh, that’s a great, it’s a great question,” Fetterman responded. “I literally was in a former communist nation, and I asked that. I said, ‘Some people in my party, some of the lefties are talking about socialism now. What do you think?’ And he’s like, ‘That’s the worst thing ever. You would never want to live here, I’ve lived through that kind of a thing. You’re going to need a reality check if you ever adopt any of those things. You know, like, you are morons. It’s like, it was a nightmare for us, and now we are a free market nation.’ It was Croatia.”

Back in 2008, when Obama was running for president, Democrats would foam at the mouth if you accused them of being socialists. Now, after years of Bernie Sanders preaching to the left about the glories of socialism, they’re completely open about their support of it.
