Democrats’ Newest Political Crush Is ‘Privileged’ Harvard Grad Who Pointed Gun at Unarmed Black Man – By Andrew Stiles (Free Beacon) / Feb 10 2021
Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman, aka ‘Edgy Beto,’ demands forgiveness for racially charged transgression
Jon Ossoff. Beto O’Rourke. Pete Buttigieg. In each of the past few election cycles, Democrats have grown enamored with a white male candidate who promises to be “the future of the Democratic Party.” Their infatuation fuels the candidate’s rise to national celebrity status, but the end result is almost always disappointing.
Democrats appear to have already settled on a political crush for the 2022 election cycle: John Fetterman, lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania. He’s a white man, obviously, and he’s running for Senate in the open election to replace Sen. Pat Toomey (R., Pa.), who is retiring at the end of his term.
Prior to being elected lieutenant governor in 2018, Fetterman served multiple terms as mayor of Braddock, a Pittsburgh suburb with fewer than 2,000 residents. His first attempt at running for Senate in 2016 ended in failure after garnering just 20 percent of the vote in the Democratic primary.
Fetterman, 51, doesn’t look anything like the other white dudes Democrats have fallen for in the past. He’s 6-foot-8, bald, and covered in tattoos. Despite his “privileged” middle-class upbringing and his master’s degree from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, he looks and dresses like a nightclub bouncer, or the guy a union boss might send around to “solve problems.” That is no doubt part of the appeal.
