John Fetterman keeps making life difficult for his fellow Democrats.
Now it’s the “Squad” in his sights.
And John Fetterman made Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez regret picking this fight.
As Swamp Digest reports:
The Democrat Party is tearing itself apart.
All hell broke loose in Congress.
And that’s because Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez picked this nasty fight with John Fetterman.
A wild scene broke out during a House Oversight Committee hearing to hold Garland in contempt.
Garland suppressed the audio recording of Joe Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur because it would prove politically embarrassing for Biden.
In this interview, Biden forgot when his son, Beau, had passed away and also couldn’t remember when he was Barack Obama’s Vice President.
Somehow, the prospect of Congress threatening to recommend criminal charges against Garland wasn’t the biggest headline from this hearing.
It was the conduct of the members – specifically the Democrats – during the hearing.
Senator John Fetterman joked it was an insult to the Jerry Springer Show – the late 1990s guilty pleasure where trashy guests would stage fights – to compare that to Congress.
“In the past, I’ve described the U.S. House as The Jerry Springer Show. Today, I’m apologizing to The Jerry Springer Show,” Fetterman wrote on X.
That comment set off Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who attacked Fetterman as “confused.”
“I understand you likely would not have stood up for your colleague and seem to be confused about racism and misogyny being a “both sides” issue,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in response. “But I stand up to bullies, instead of becoming one. And to the women of Pennsylvania: I’d stand up for you too. Enjoy your Friday.”
This was the first time a fellow Democrat mocked the cognitive impairment Fetterman suffered after his near fatal stroke in May 2022.

Fetterman was responding to a blow up when Democrat Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) tried to interrupt Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) when Greene was making a point about how Democrat Congressman Dan Goldman hired the daughter of Trump trial Judge Juan Merchan for political consulting services.
Greene got fed up and shut down Crockett by snarking, “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up your–” before Democrats began shouting.
Ocasio-Cortez even got into the mix, demanding the committee strike Greene’s words from the record.
Greene mocked Ocasio-Cortez for acting like a baby mocking saying, “Aww.”
“Oh! Girl, baby, girl!” Ocasio-Cortez shouted back.
Crockett eventually got in on the act of trying to insult Greene by saying she had a “bleached blonde, bad-built, butch body.”
And as that reaction and Ocasio-Cortez’s response to Fetterman’s tweet proved, the Democrats came off looking like that trash family throwing chairs on the set of the Jerry Springer Show.
