John Fetterman rained on Democrats’ parade by delivering some bad news that has them pulling their hair out

John Fetterman isn’t following the typical playbook for a Democrat Senator.

He just went out on a limb on the last thing his Party expected. 

And John Fetterman rained on the Democrats’ parade by delivering some bad news that has them pulling their hair out.

Fetterman is willing to discuss Greenland

Democrats are still trying to figure out how to oppose President-elect Donald Trump when he returns to the White House. 

It won’t look like the resistance strategy the Party used during Trump’s first term in which they fought him tooth and nail on everything.

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) is blazing his own path ahead of the incoming Trump administration. 

He’s willing to listen, and claims he has an open mind about the President-elect’s nominees and America First agenda. 

The Pennsylvania lawmaker is up for re-election in 2028 and can read the mood of his state.

Trump won Pennsylvania for the second time in three tries, and former Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) went down to defeat. 

Democrats and their media allies don’t know what to make of Trump’s proposal to buy Greenland because it’s so far outside the box of their Washington, D.C. establishment groupthink.

Most Democrat elected officials have mocked the idea or attacked Trump for it because they don’t know how to react. 

Fetterman had a surprising reaction to it during an appearance on Fox News’ Special Report. 

“Like, there’s a lot of talk about Greenland, for example,” Fetterman said. “And I know there’s a lot of freak-outs, you know, and of course I would never support taking it by force. But I do think it’s a responsible conversation if they were open to acquiring it and, you know, whether just buying it outright.”

He was the first Democrat not to outright oppose the purchase of Greenland. 

Fetterman gives Democrats a history lesson

Buying Greenland would be in line with a historical American tradition of purchasing territory for both national and economic security.

Senator Fetterman pointed out that the purchase of Alaska was widely ridiculed at the time. 

“I mean, if anyone thinks that’s bonkers, it’s like, well, remember the Louisiana Purchase?” Fetterman asked. “I think Alaska was a pretty great deal, too. $50 million, I think it was, it was referred to as Seward’s Folly. And now that was Alaska now.”

The 1867 purchase of Alaska from Russia was orchestrated by Secretary of State William Seward and was long ridiculed as “Seward’s Folly” or “Seward’s Icebox” by critics.

Fetterman told his fellow Democrats that they needed to pace themselves over panicking about everything Trump says or does. 

“So, I mean, you know, open to having all kinds of conversations as well,” Fetterman said. “And now, I don’t think we, it’s not helpful to freak out, but some things might work out, some may not.”

“But that’s part of ongoing dialogue,” Fetterman added. “But he hasn’t even taken office in two weeks. And, you know, we really need to pace ourselves if we’re going to freak out over every last tweet or every last conversation or press conference.”

John Fetterman is content to go with the flow at the start of the Trump administration with a tough re-election fight looming in 2028.
