John Fetterman ex-staffers plan to expose senator after WSJ report
Former staffers of Senator John Fetterman have formed a group to publicly criticize his work ethic and legislative performance. This follows a Wall Street Journal report alleging the senator avoids constituent meetings and basic office duties.
Why it matters
The internal revolt and public criticism from former aides could significantly damage the senator's political standing and influence within the Democratic party.
In just over a week, former staffers for John Fetterman, D-Pa., are planning to go public with inside details after expressing what they called disgust at his work as a legislator. "We’re a group of former campaign & Senate staffers for John Fetterman who are disgusted with what he's become. If you were troubled by yesterday's Wall Street Journal story... trust us, that's just the tip of the iceberg," the group wrote in a post to X. "It’s even worse than you thought." The new social media account, which is calling itself "Former Fetterman Staffers" (FFS) claims it will reveal additional unflattering details about the embattled senator’s office as he also faces blowback over Wall Street Journal reporting chronicling his reluctance to engage in the basic duties of his office.
