Fetterman On Democrats ‘Freaking Out’ Over Trump: ‘It’s Going To Be Four Years’
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) encouraged Democrats to give it a rest when it comes to ginning up outrage over President-elect Donald Trump, warning them that it wasn’t even Thanksgiving yet and that Trump would be in the picture for more than four years.
Fetterman made the remarks during a Sunday CNN interview with Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” when asked about recent remarks that he made when he said that Democrats should not be “freaking out” over everything Trump does.
“I mean, there’s some that I would absolutely be excited to vote for, like my colleague from Florida or the representative from New York, of course,” Fetterman said in a nod to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY).
“And then there’s others that are just absolute trolls, just like Gaetz,” he continued. “And that’s why Democrats — like, Trump gets the kind of thing he wanted, like the freak-out and all of those things. And it’s still not even not even Thanksgiving yet.”
“And if we’re having meltdowns every tweet or every appointment or all those things, I mean, it’s going to be four years,” he added.
He mentioned that he had previously warned that if Trump won that Republicans would hit “the jackpot” — meaning that they would win the House and Senate too.
‘The real jackpot is the Supreme Court,” he said, noting that the Supreme Court has become very conservative in recent years.
“So they can run the table right now,” he said. “And at least for the next two years, those are the things, if you really want to be concerned about that, that they have the absolute ability to run the table, at least for the next two years. And that’s what I think we should all be concerned on, not small tweets or random kinds of appointments.”
