    Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) panned Democrats who are upping their criticisms of President Biden ahead of the November election, saying they might as well don a “MAGA hat.”

    Fetterman noted during an interview an uptick in Democrats who have become more critical of Biden lately, and said it’s only helping former President Trump.

    Democracy! No longer allowed to question or criticize our politicians.

      That’s a dishonest way to look at what he said. An honest one would be that he has just as much right to criticize Democrats offering aid to Trump as the Democrats offering aid to Trump have a right to criticize Biden.

      Biden: [Does things]
      Anti-Biden Democrats: [He shouldn’t be doing that.]
      Fetterman: [They shouldn’t be doing that.]
      You: [Fetterman is anti-democracy and pro-censorship.]

      This is just pure clownishness.

        Context is key, and you’ve broken down the situation to the point of absurdity.
