Sen. Fetterman Defends Trump Admin. Boat Strikes: ‘There’s Extensive Intelligence’
“When they move on these kinetic kinds of strikes, you know, they have absolute confidence in who’s on it and what’s on it.”
Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, the most reasonable Democrat in the country, strikes again.
On Tuesday, there was a Senate briefing on the recent strikes on narco-terror boats. Fetterman emerged from the hearing in full support of the Trump administration’s efforts.
Here’s some background from NewsNation:
Fetterman added at times, the military will decline to move on those pieces of intelligence they receive, and that when they do make a move, they have absolute confidence in their decision.
After Tuesday’s Senate briefing on the matter, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth both praised the series of strikes, part of an operation called “Operation Southern Spear.”
“This has been a highly successful mission that’s ongoing and continued, and we’re pleased to be here today to update Congress on how that’s developing and how that’s moving forward,” Rubio said. Hegseth said he “echoed that” sentiment.
President Donald Trump announced a blockade of all tankers carrying “sanctioned” oil and said he has designated the Nicolás Maduro-led Venezuelan regime as a foreign terrorist organization. Trump also threatened that warships surrounding the country will only get bigger until the return of oil, land and other assets he claims belong to the U.S.
He was asked about this by Chris Cuomo during an appearance on NewsNation.

CHRIS CUOMO, NEWSNATION: Topic switch. What did you learn, Senator, that gave you any comfort that we’re not heading into some kind of extended military exercise around Venezuela or in Venezuela?
SENATOR JOHN FETTERMAN: Absolutely. I thought it was pretty comprehensive. And this idea—some things out in the media—it’s kind of putting out that the military’s just picking off, you know, anybody that comes across. That’s just not true.
I mean, there’s extensive intelligence, and they know exactly who’s on that boat, and they know what’s actually on that boat right now. And quite frequently, they decline to take it in, to move on those things.
When they move on these kinetic kinds of strikes, you know, they have absolute confidence in who’s on it and what’s on it. And that’s exactly what it’s about. They’re not just going around randomly shooting boats. That’s just not the fact.
Here’s the clip:

What were these morons thinking, inviting Fetterman on to talk about Trump? Did they expect him to do the normal Democrat thing?
Its like these intellectual pygmies dont even know who Fetterman is.
fredo has less interviewing skill/intelligence than a houseplant
Fetty Man is the worst political plant ever. He is the embodiment of Tim Walz (R) in that every stance is one of a buffoon acting as a trial balloon. I’m not convinced that he knows his own stance.
I disagree. Unabashedly supporting Israel in its existential battle against genocidal, Arab Muslim terrorists, as Fetterman does — a stance that is anathema to Walz and to the rest of the evil, stupid and vile Dhimmi-crat neo-communist/Islamofascist Party, is not a “trial balloon” stance. It’s a stance reflecting moral probity and political courage.
This guy is unusual for a Democrat in that he has consistently been pro Israel and pro America since his time in the Senate.
However he still votes in line with Democrats in every issue so there is that.
I still say Fetterman is really Letterman and has a false flag to repair with the letter on his chest.
That used to be the Democrat position. He hasn’t changed. He’s a Democrat through and through. It’s the other Democrats who’ve changed.
Via Grok:
“Senator John Fetterman supports abortion rights and has consistently advocated for protecting and restoring access to abortion at the federal level.”
“Senator John Fetterman opposes school choice programs, particularly private school vouchers and the expansion of publicly funded charter schools.”
So I could never vote for him.
Nor could I… but what is remarkable about him is not his composite political stance, but his record-setting degree of deviation from the norm set by his peers.
The left assumes everything the Trump administration does is random and emotionally driven because that’s the way the left operates. They don’t understand the rest of the world doesn’t operate like a teenager going through puberty.
…as a self-proclaimed transsexual.
Nice photo.
Fetterman: “There’s extensive intelligence.”
Cuomo: “Mmmm, sausages.”
