Pennsylvania Sen. Fetterman Booed at Nationwide No Kings Protests

Senator John Fetterman faced boos from progressive Democrats and activists during a “No Kings” protest rally in Philadelphia opposing President Donald Trump, highlighting a rift within the Democratic Party. The boos came after activist Leah Greenberg called out Fetterman for not attending the event and criticized Democrats perceived as unwilling to resist Trump’s agenda. Fetterman has drawn criticism from his party for his unapologetic support of Israel, backing of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and his defense of the military parade held in Washington, D.C. on President Trump's birthday, which commemorated the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary. Despite the backlash, Fetterman defended his positions, emphasizing respect for the military and rejecting comparisons to Nazis, while expressing confusion over why fellow Democrats would boo him. The incident underscores growing tensions between the Democratic establishment and its progressive base amid ongoing debates about party direction and leadership.
