Senator John Fetterman is one of the voices trying to shape the future of the Democrat Party following Donald Trump’s landslide victory.
But Fetterman made a bad mistake.
And John Fetterman drew one line in the sand that signed the Democrat Party’s death warrant.
John Fetterman refuses to budge on support for radical transgender agenda
In the final month of the campaign, Donald Trump’s team bet big on an ad hammering Kamala Harris over her support for taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for prisoners.
The tagline was “Kamala is for they/them and Trump is for us.”
Trump’s team spent tens of millions of dollars on this ad – more than any other commercial – and Americans couldn’t turn on a football game without seeing it.
Bill Clinton knew how devastating the ad was and pleaded with the campaign to respond.
The New York Times reported the ads Kamala’s handlers put together in response tested so poorly that they never aired.
Trump’s election showed the American people were sick of woke gender identity insanity.
But not every Democrat is getting the message.
Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) told POLITICO in a post-election interview that he would never back down in his support for allowing doctors to mutilate children with life-altering surgeries.
Fetterman even went so far as to call it “un-American” to oppose transgender surgeries for children.
“Picking on trans or gay kids is just un-American. And if you think that makes you tough or more of a man, then that’s just pathetic. My children have friends that are members of that community, and I know that they are sweet kids. And their lives are difficult enough,” Fetterman stated.
Fetterman was correct in stating children pay the price for this policy debate, but wrong in how.
“I promise you, the kids that I know that are in those communities, that’s not our problem in our nation right now and they deserve our support. It’s an intensely personal kind of situation and they really need understanding. It’s not a conversation that needs to be dropped into a meat grinder, because ultimately, the people that really are going to pay the terrible price are for these young kids,” Fetterman continued.
Studies show the overwhelming majority of children suffering from gender dysphoria naturally grow out of it, as it’s just a phase some kids go through.
The children who pay a price are the ones whose parents allow doctors to chop off their body parts only because they got duped into undergoing irrevocable surgeries.
Fetterman falsely claimed transgender surgeries for kids is an issue of parental rights.
“This is a deeply personal kind of conversation between doctors and between their parents and the child themselves. But what I’m saying, though, turning it into like, where we’re weaponizing that — that’s part of what’s gross in our American politics right now. It punishes the people that have these kinds of internal conflicts, or they happen to feel that way and how they identify. It’s not appropriate to mock them or to say those kinds of things,” Fetterman ranted.
And even though polling data showed opposition to transgender ideology was the number three issue that pushed voters Trump – coming in only behind immigration and inflation – Fetterman declared defending transgender surgeries for minor children was where he planted his flag to fight.

“I’ve said this again and again. If somebody wants to weaponize my support for those communities and to pick on those kinds of kids, it’s like, hey, vote for someone else,” Fetterman concluded.
