From the article:
The liberal comedian then asked Fetterman whether his shift in various policies had anything to do with his recovery from his 2022 stroke, asking if his near-death experience had given him a “freedom.”
“Absolutely,” Fetterman responded. “There’s a line from the first ‘Batman,’ Joker’s like ‘I’ve been dead once already. It’s very liberating.'”
“It’s freeing in a way. And I just think after beating all of that, I just really [want to] be able to say the things that I have to really believe in and not be afraid of if there’s any kind of blowback.”
So basically yes, the stroke made him a Republican. Pathetic and disappointing, but all too predictable.
If you think someone is lefty because they dress like an unemployed teenager then you are the true disappointment
I thought he was a lefty because he campaigned as one.
I remember him being pro-union, but that’s about it.
There is no such thing as a “leftist” on a campaign trail.
You shouldnt trust what politicians says. Look at what they do
Yeah, problem is they have to be elected before you know, and I believe he had a more progressive record as mayor.
Also, his opponent was Dr. Oz. Pretty much anyone else is an improvement.
I always got the vibe that he acted like a contrarian, not like a principled guy. Makes sense he’d pivot to the assholes after a stroke lol
