‘It Would Be Troubling’: Sen. Fetterman Says He Might Leave Democratic Party if Chris Van Hollen Is Named Majority Leader

RUSH EXCERPT:

FETTERMAN: "Yeah, absolutely. It would be troubling if my caucus elects someone like van hollen. That has really made his name being very anti– hostile to Israel. If you are going to be angry or hostile towards any countries in the region, why not make that, you know, Iran? Or Hezbollah? Or Hamas as well too? And now why, why? Both in the house and in the Senate, their first instincts are to punish Israel and the withhold these kinds of aid? Why? Why is it your first instinct to say let’s hold Iran accountable? I’m frustrated by the gas prices, you know in it’s terrible that Americans have to suffer. But if you want the blame the Trump Administration, but I can continue to blame the Iranians as well too. They could find a way forward for peace. I think it's important to hold Iran accountable. It’s a political loser, absolutely, but I think things are bigger. That’s country over party, and that’s about peace and standing with our special ally like Israel through it."
