Democrat Senator John Fetterman is willing to break with the Democrat party on reopening the government.
Fetterman said, “I’m not afraid to tell my truth and if I’m going to pay a penalty, I’m not afraid of that…It’s wrong to shut our government down.”
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., told “Hannity” Wednesday he’s willing to “pay a price” to help reopen the government, even if it means breaking with his party, as the shutdown stretches into its fourth week.
“I am always going to vote country over my party and if I pay a price within my base, that’s something I am willing to do,” Fetterman said.
Fetterman has been outspoken in his criticism of the shutdown, vocalizing his priorities to fund the military and Capitol Police over party politics. He noted that he’s one of only two Democrats voting to keep the government open.
“I’m not afraid to tell my truth and if I’m going to pay a penalty, I’m not afraid of that,” Fetterman told host Sean Hannity. “It’s wrong to shut our government down.”
The shutdown has become the second-longest in history.
The government shutdown that started on Oct. 1 has entered its fourth week and is now the second-longest in U.S. history.
On day 22 of the shutdown, Democrats and Republicans remained at odds. Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) has been speaking on the Senate floor for more than 17 hours to protest the Trump administration’s policies.
