WSJ Report Details Fetterman Dodging Constituents, Gaming Senate Attendance
The report says Fetterman skipped constituent meetings and hearings while leaning on Fox News appearances and pro-Israel advocacy, drawing backlash from Pennsylvania Democrats.
- On Thursday, Senator John Fetterman canceled a meeting with three paralyzed Pennsylvania veterans, citing illness, then appeared on Fox News less than an hour later to discuss Israel and the Iran war.
- A Wall Street Journal investigation published Thursday documented a pattern of Fetterman avoiding constituent meetings, committee hearings, and public appearances, with former staff and internal records suggesting he shows little interest in routine senatorial duties.
- Text messages show Fetterman dismissed Children's Hospital of Philadelphia officials' Medicaid concerns as a desire for "free trips to D.C." and called a funeral for three slain York County police officers a "nonstarter" due to its length.
- Representative Brendan Boyle and Representative Chris Deluzio condemned Fetterman's behavior, with Boyle calling him a "disgrace" and "lazy trust fund baby," while polling shows his approval among Democrats has plummeted to 22 percent.
- An anonymous X account identifying as "Former Fetterman Staffers" emerged, promising to release additional internal messages when the Senate returns on September 14, describing the Journal's report as "just the tip of the iceberg.
