'Someone please stop this guy': Analysts blast Fetterman after 'painful' CNN interview
Political analysts and observers blasted Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) after he had a "painful" interview withCNN about the war in Iran on Wednesday.
Fetterman joined CNN's Kaitlan Collins on "The Source," where he was asked about his decision not to sign a letter asking for an investigation into the bombing strike on a girls' school in Iran that reports indicate killed about 182 civilians, mostly children. According to reports, U.S. forces were operating in the area, and the school was struck by what appeared to be a Tomahawk missile, which the U.S. has access to.
In response to the question, Fetterman said he didn't sign the letter because everyone in Congress agreed that the incident was a tragedy. He also complained about how the media was covering the incident, and added that he disagreed with his colleagues, who he said had argued the war is "dumb."
"I think it's necessary and I support it," Fetterman said about the war.
The Senator's comments didn't sit well with several political analysts and observers, who shared their reactions on social media.
"Fetterman claims that 'left media' like the New York Times is too focused on innocent children dying because war is a 'good thing,'" political communications expert J.J. Abbott posted on X.
"Someone please stop this guy from doing these cable hits," Abbott added.
"Watching and listening to @SenFettermanPA is painful," the Monroe County, Pennsylvania Democratic Party posted on X. He is nearly unintelligible. And WHY is he so defensive, defiant, and rude…unless he’s on Fox? He acts like a toddler. Fetterman never misses an opportunity to bash Democrats. SOMEONE PRIMARY HIM IN 2028!!!"
"Fetterman thinks murdering innocent Iranian schoolgirls because of an oopsie is irrelevant," former Jeopardy champion Hemant Mehta posted on X.
