John Fetterman, The Mayor Of Braddock, PA, Is The Most Badass Politician In The Country
Penn Live- The popular, progressive and tattooed mayor of Braddock, John Fetterman, pulled off a stunning victory Tuesday night, beating four Democratic opponents for the nomination for lieutenant governor, including the embattled incumbent Mike Stack.
Fetterman trounced the competition by claiming more than 40 percent of the votes, with 75 percent of the precincts reporting.
The 6-foot 8-inch tall Fetterman barged onto the broader political scene in Pennsylvania in 2016 when he ran for the U.S Senate, losing to Katie McGinty.
If Wolf and Fetterman prevail in the fall election, Fetterman has said he would not live in the lieutenant governor’s mansion at Fort Indiantown Gap.
I was the first candidate to say I would not occupy the home,” Fetterman said at a debate in March. “The expenses are outrageous and inappropriate … We will not be living in a mansion. We will not have servants, not on the taxpayers’ dime. We’d find a home in Harrisburg, but not cost the taxpayers any money. It’s an extravagance the state of Pennsylvania can do without.”
I LOVE JOHN FETTERMAN! What a fucking BEAST. 6’8”, probably north of 400 pounds, and raised by wolves and motorcycle gangs in the Poconos. This is one bad-ass mofo, and yet he’s also progressive, humble, and super popular. What a man of the people. He lives in a restored used car dealership with his family and said there’s no chance he moves into the Lt. Gov’s mansion if they win because fuck extravagance. This is the type of politician the country needs!
If I’m being honest, I was hoping that his speech would be a series of guttural grunts and animalistic hand gestures. But in the upset of the century, he’s very articulate. It would have been much more fun if John Fetterman had won the nomination for Lt Gov by simply showing up to rallies and folding a frying pan with his bare hands. I mean look at this dude. His forehead looks like a grandmother’s vagina. It has more folds than the world series of poker. Meanwhile, his laughably wide torso sits atop a pair of toothpicks. Braddock? More like Mayor of shin-splint city. Dude looks like Gru from Despicable Me:
If you’re the incumbent Governor–this guy:
How much are you dreading having to give orders to this guy:
“Hi John, I, uhm… I was wondering if you might be willing to run over to West Philly tomorrow morning? The teachers are on strike, and… I thought it would be good to have a man on the ground?”
“…” chews a toothpick slowly, continues playing 3D-Pinball Space Cadet on his Windows ’98 desktop.
“Cool, yeah, I’ll go myself. Good thought. You’re right, better for me to show my face. Thanks John!”
