Sen. John Fetterman, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, showed up on video Wednesday at the Republican midterm convention hosted by President Donald Trump in Dallas, according to Reuters. Dressed in his familiar hoodie and filmed in front of a steel mill, he introduced fellow Pennsylvanian Sen. Dave McCormick, a Republican.
“Yes, I’m Senator John Fetterman, Pennsylvania. Yes, I’m a Democrat. Why am I here talking to you today? Because, well, I’m a common-sense Democrat,” Fetterman said. He continued, “I’m always going to stand with America. I’m always going to reject the extremes and socialism and that anti-American way of life.” He also said he would work with Trump to protect “the steel way of life” in western Pennsylvania.
