Fetterman Slammed by Democrats After Bombshell WSJ Report
The report says he skipped committee hearings and constituent meetings while favoring conservative media appearances and pro-Israel messaging.
- On Thursday, The Wall Street Journal published a report highlighting Sen John Fetterman's apparent disinterest in his job. Critics responded by calling The Pennsylvania Democrat a "disgrace."
- Citing more than a dozen former staffers, The Journal reported Fetterman skipped 11 of 12 full committee hearings during one stretch, with aides allegedly ensuring he was marked "present" at meetings before he left.
- Fetterman reportedly canceled a meeting with three paralyzed veterans to appear on Fox News, called a funeral for three police officers a "nonstarter," and questioned why he had to meet with the Children Hospital in Philadelphia.
- Rep Brendan Boyle called the senator's behavior "a disgrace," while Rep Chris Deluzio criticized the report and appeared to call for Fetterman's resignation on social media.
- The senator faces reelection in 2028 and previously threatened to leave the Democratic Party over criticism of Israel, positioning him amid significant internal friction within his party.
