Should that happen, and should a gang of heavily armed men enter the Capitol and chase some representatives through its secured parts remember that Lauren Boebert gave them, yet another, guided tour of the facility. ---

Fetterman’s official response to the rumor? > **[Fetterman reacts to party-switching rumors](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14306933/John-Fetterman-party-switching-Democrat-Republican-Trump.html)** > > The Pennsylvania Senator responded to rumors that he is set to switch his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican in the wake of Donald Trump's swearing in as the new president. He called the rumor “amateur hour shit”. > ‘If they think, “oh, it’s going to be like a Manchin or a Sinema play,” that’s just not true, and that’s not going to happen,’ Fetterman said. Maybe he’s lying, but there didn’t seem to be any wiggle room in his response. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > ‘If they think, “oh, it’s going to be like a Manchin or a Sinema play,” that’s just not true, and that’s not going to happen,’ Fetterman said. Neither of them actually switched parties, so if he does, he would technically be telling the truth. I suppose we’ll see. My fuck you to him stands, seeing as just yesterday he posed for a photo-op with the guy who stole the Speaker’s podium on 1/6.

> [@Smapti](#): > > My fuck you to him stands, seeing as just yesterday he posed for a photo-op with the guy who stole the Speaker’s podium on 1/6. I agree with a “fuck you” directed at John “Neville Chamberlain” Fetterman and his sterling example of appeasement in the face of wannabe fascism. ---
