Senator John Fetterman is firing back after a wave of criticism following a recent report that portrays him as apathetic to his senatorial duties. The Pennsylvania Democrat is dismissing the claims as nothing more than “smears” from “disgruntled staffers” who are looking to damage his reputation.
Fetterman addressed the controversy this weekend in conversation with CNN. The situation stems from a report published by The Wall Street Journal, which cited former aides and leaked text messages to suggest the senator has become more interested in cozying up to conservative media than doing the actual work of a U.S. senator.
