Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pennsylvania) resisted pro-Palestinian protesters who targeted his home in Braddock, Pennsylvania, on Friday night by climbing onto the roof and unfurling an Israeli flag.
As the crowd chanted, “Fetterman, Fetterman, you can’t hide, you support genocide,” Fetterman instead of hiding appeared on the roof of his home, proudly waving the flag of the Jewish state. I shook it.

Fetterman, who suffered a stroke during the campaign and was elected as a left-wing “progressive” in 2022, has emerged as a defender of Israel and has also been criticized by other centrists and conservatives for adopting conservative policies. surprised observers.
As Breitbart News noted, earlier this month, Fetterman accused South Africa’s “hypocrisy” of filing a lawsuit against Israel in The Hague and accusing the Jewish state of “genocide.”
“Maybe we should stop doing this!”

Mr. Fetterman’s staunch defense of Israel and his pivot to topics such as fossil fuels, border security and trade have led some experts to joke that he has become more conservative as he regains brain function.
