Democratic Senator John Fetterman, representing the swing state of Pennsylvania, recently spoke out against former President Donald Trump's claims of election fraud and criticized the Trump campaign's attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris.
Fetterman dismissed Trump's interference claims as 'desperation' and reminded everyone that President Biden won Pennsylvania by over 80,000 votes in the 2020 election.
Expressing confidence in Harris's chances in Pennsylvania, Fetterman acknowledged the tight race and noted the strong energy on both sides. He condemned pro-Trump ads targeting Harris's support for transgender rights, emphasizing his own masculinity and stance against bullying marginalized groups.
Fetterman stated, 'If your political capital comes from picking on trans kids or gay kids, you're just bankrupting throughout all of this. My version of being a man is about respect and standing up against discrimination.'
Trump and his allies invested over $21 million in TV ads attacking Harris over her past support for transgender rights in the first half of October. Fetterman criticized this tactic, stating, 'It doesn't make you a man to pick on trans or gay kids, it just makes you an a**hole.'
The senator's remarks highlight the ongoing cultural and political battles surrounding LGBTQ+ rights and the divisive tactics employed by some political campaigns.
