News of Fetterman’s participation in the opposing party’s convention was first reported by Axios. A recent bombshell report in The Wall Street Journal included detailed allegations that he has bristled at the obligations of being a senator, routinely dodging meetings with constituents, skipping official Senate business, and thwarting his own staff’s recommendations to devote his time and energy to conservative media appearances and advocating on issues related to Israel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
We can’t afford to let lies go down the memory hole, like we have the other wars we were lied into. Sadly, it’s clear now that neither Bush nor Cheney will be held accountable for their lies or for the American, Afghan, and Iraqi blood and treasure they cost. If the media refuses to mention the Bush/Cheney lies on this anniversary of 9/11, it’s all the more important that the rest of us use this opportunity to do so.
