Sen. Fetterman Meets Bannon, Sparks Democratic Criticism

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) was spotted at Butterworth’s, a prominent MAGA gathering spot in Washington, D.C., where he dined with Breitbart’s Matt Boyle and had an impromptu 20-minute conversation with former Trump strategist Steve Bannon. Fetterman's spokesperson emphasized that the exchange with Bannon was unplanned. The sighting follows Fetterman's earlier controversial dinner with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago and his notable departure from Democratic Party lines, particularly as the only Democrat to support the Laken Riley Act on immigration. Fetterman recently condemned violent protests in Los Angeles, later clarifying his comments were not intended as a critique of his party. His positions have fueled speculation about his political allegiance and prompted concern from some Democrats and staff regarding his mental health and party loyalty. The events underscore Fetterman's maverick approach and the controversy it has generated within his party.
