“Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities,” Fetterman said. “I’m grateful for and salute the finest military in the world.”

Earlier this week, Fetterman said he believed Israel should have targeted Iran’s supreme leader.

And, come to think of it now ... Didn't some of this 'styling himself as a maverick ..' - precede the senator's stroke?

But ya' know ... "Need to shake things up!" "New blood ..!"
