Sen. Fetterman Slams Dems Who Voted Against Resolution Labeling Iran as State Sponsor of Terror: “Same Part of Same List that Refused to Condemn Hamas After Oct. 7′
Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) joined Fox News to discuss fellow Democrats who refused to vote to label Iran as a state sponsor of terror.
On Thursday, 53 House Democrats voted against a nonbinding resolution reaffirming that Iran remains the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism.
H.Res. 1099, sponsored by Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) passed the House by a vote of 372-53 (with 2 Democrats voting present and 5 not voting).
All 53 “no” votes came from Democrats, including members of the Squad like Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA).
Host Kayleigh McEnany asked Fetterman, “I know you’re not in the House, but I have to believe you have some thoughts on the 53 names we will scroll who did not have the audacity to vote to label Iran as state sponsor of terror?”
Fetterman responded, “Yeah, I mean, if you look at the same list, that was there, there are probably it’s the same part of the same list that refused to condemn Hamas after 10/7. So I mean, that’s part of our party.”
“And that 53, that’s almost 25% of Democrats in the House that can’t just call Iran as the world’s biggest terrorism underwriter. That’s where our party has been heading now. Now, anti-anti-Israel, that’s part of the ongoing conversation. I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t just identify that what Iran is. We all agree that.”
McEnany continued, “Yeah. Well, we unearthed some sound from the former Democratic nominee for President of your Party. Kamala Harris is sounding very different today versus just a short time ago. Let’s watch this.”
In October 2024, Harris was asked, “Which foreign country do you consider to be our greatest adversary?”
Harris responded at the time,” Well, there are different reasons that we should be thoughtful about each. Most recently, I think there’s an obvious one in mind, which is Iran. Look, I mean, Iran has American blood on their hands.”
On Sunday, Harris forgot her campaign rhetoric and stated, “Donald Trump has dragged us into a war the American people do not want. He has put American troops in harm’s way. I unequivocally oppose this war of choice, and everyone should.”
McEnany asked, “I mean, what happened?”
Fetterman responde, “Well, I mean, I think it’s what happened…..but first, I really have to say that now if someone identifies America’s top risk and/or threat, and someone dispatches that in about three or four days and makes it impossible for them to acquire nuclear weapons and their missile program, why isn’t that a good thing? I don’t know why that’s not a great thing.”
“And Hillary Clinton said the same thing back in 2015 when she was running (for) President. Virtually every Democrat that I’m aware of says we can never allow Iran to acquire nuclear bombs, and they were a significant, significant risk to America.”
“I know why they don’t say that now, because I’m aware that it is very damaging as a Democrat to just happen to agree with the President on anything.”
“But for me, that’s easy, a country over party.”
“Now, I don’t know why we can’t just be honest, saying that the last two professional candidates for the Democratic party all agree that we can never allow Iran to acquire nuclear bombs, and that’s made that possible now.”
“I think we can say, hey, that’s a great thing that makes the world more safe, more secure, and holds Iran accountable.”
Watch here.
