Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, unlike many of his Democratic colleagues, attended President Donald Trumps State of the Union address and, notably, did so in a suit.
According to Gateway Pundit, this simple act of respect for the office stands in stark contrast to the petty theatrics and boycotts that have become routine among so many petulant Democrats. While he may not be MAGA, but at least he respects the office of the President of the United States, a standard that used to be bipartisan but is now increasingly abandoned by the progressive left.
Once again, Fetterman is the most reasonable member of his party, the piece observed, underscoring how low the bar has fallen when basic decorum passes for courage. Other Democrats could learn a thing or two from Fetterman, particularly those who prefer performative outrage over showing up and doing their jobs.
He is his own man and knows how to think for himself, a trait that has become rare in a party increasingly driven by activist mobs and social media applause. The reaction in liberal media circles was telling, as Jesse Watters lost his mind over this, highlighting how even modest gestures of respect toward President Trump can trigger disproportionate responses.
How ironic is it that he is the most rational member of his party? the article asked, pointing to a broader crisis of leadership and maturity within the Democratic ranks. At a time when many on the left treat the presidency as legitimate only when their side holds power, Fettermans decision to attend and dress appropriately serves as a quiet rebuke to his own partys worst impulses.
