“I posted a few months ago that I was going to take a break from social media. I was bored with it,” she said. “It didn’t add anything to my life. But is being off social media somehow more exhausting than having social media?!”
“With all due respect, you guys are really terrible,” she added.

Leftists were quick to attack Gisele’s position, accusing her of staying silent while her husband supports genocide in Israel.
“What do you think about your husband’s xenophobic comments about the border and his unwavering support for active genocide by the Israeli occupation?” one user asked.

In 2023, John Fetterman began distancing himself from the far left, earning him the nickname #GenocideJohn, as he increasingly supported Israel in the wake of the horrific October 7 terrorist attacks. In an interview in December of this year, Fetterman said: Said he won’t back down.
“What I’ve learned over the last few years is that the right, and now the left, wants me dead,” Fetterman said. “Some are causing another blood clot. They want me to die now.”
“This is where I don’t belong,” he said. “I don’t really feel like I left the label. It just left me.”

“I don’t criticize whether someone is a progressive or not,” he added. “I believe otherwise.”
as I got it. by new york timesFetterman “rejected calls for a ceasefire, covered the walls of the hallway outside his Senate office with photos of hostages taken by Hamas, wore an Israeli flag, and even appeared in the presence of pro-Palestinian protesters.” He waved the flag provocatively.”
On other issues, Fetterman has distanced himself from his colleagues on the left, calling on Democrats to join Republicans in a dialogue on border security.
“I don’t think it’s unreasonable to secure our borders,” he said in a recent interview. “I would never put Dreamers at risk or support any kind of brutality or mass expulsion of hundreds of thousands of people. But talking about borders is a reasonable conversation.”
