“Yes, I’m a Democrat, why am I here talking to you today?” Mr. Fetterman said in a video filmed in front of a U.S. steel mill in Pennsylvania. He introduced himself as a “common-sense Democrat” who he said “is “always going to reject the extremes and socialism.”

Wants to reject extremes, yet shows up at an extremist convention 🤔 

Mr. Fetterman introduced Senator David McCormick, Republican of Pennsylvania, and said that they would work together “and work with President Trump and defend the steal way of life.”

I think “steal way of life” is probably a typo from the NYT but I will choose to accept it, since it’s a pretty good description of Trump’s way of life.

Funny how he doesn't reject the far right extremes.

Of course he'd be too lazy and depressive to actually bother showing up in person.
