Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) revealed there is one scenario that would entice him to leave the Democratic Party — if it became an “anti-Israel party.”

Sen. 👤John Fetterman (D-Pa.) said “the one thing” that would make him leave the 🐴Democratic Party — if it became an “anti-🇮🇱Israel party.”

Fetterman has not wavered in his support for 🇮🇱Israel while in the senate since the Hamas attacks on Oct. 7, 2023.

“My real concern is the 🐴Democratic Party is going to put it into the platform, you know, as an anti-🇮🇱Israel party, that 🇮🇱Israel does not have the right to defend itself and to exist,” he said Wednesday night on “Hannity.” “And the second that becomes a formal part of our platform, that’s the one thing that would push me out of this party.”

“I’m deeply alarmed by the way the 🐴Democratic Party is going after 🇮🇱Israel and allowing just rank anti-semitism to just flourish, you know, on the left and on the campuses too,” he continued.

Fetterman has criticized fellow Democrats in their comments toward the Trump administration.

He has also exercised his independence by voting the opposite of his colleagues on some votes.

He does vote alongside party lines most of the time.

In the past, Fetterman has downplayed reports that Senate Republicans were trying to get him to join the GOP.

Fetterman spoke Wednesday after being pressed on the insurgent wave of progressive and self-described democratic socialist candidates winning primaries and defeating long-serving incumbents.

The senator claimed that one thing the new generation of candidates had in “common” was “contempt for 🇮🇱Israel” that he said was “essentially” becoming “anti-Semitism.”
