Anti-Israel demonstrators gathered outside the Braddock, Pa. home of Sen. John Fetterman — who responded to the din by going on his roof and waving an Israeli flag at them.
The progressive-hating Democrat, silently waved the blue and white flag Friday night as protesters waved Palestinian flags and screeched “Fetterman, Fetterman, you can’t hide. You’re supporting genocide.”
The first-term senator, once a darling of progressives, has incurred wrath from the left over his staunch support of Israel to defend itself from Hamas terrorists in the aftermath of Oct. 7. He’s responded by publicly trolling them.
At a November rally for Israel in Washington D.C. he arrived draped in an Israeli flag.
His office is covered with posters of missing and returned Israeli hostages.
Though he once described himself as a progressive, he says the movement has abandoned its principles.
“Increasingly, [progressives] moved and migrated into some positions that I don’t agree with and I really just feel much more comfortable just being a Democrat,” the controversial Pennsylvania lawmaker told The Post last week during an exclusive sitdown in his D.C. office.
Fetterman has also taken to calling the migrant flood at the U.S. border a crisis — something most others in his party have been loathe to do.
The newly centrist senator has picked up many new admirers among conservatives.
“I can’t believe it, but I’m starting to really like & respect Fetterman. 2024 is wild, y’all,” conservative radio host Clay Travis wrote on X after Fetterman’s flag-waving.
