The Left has had a rough week. Now they’re taking it out on their own constituents.
And this top Democrat Senator just attacked his state’s citizens in this bizarre move.
Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) has expressed his frustration over the Green Party’s role in the Pennsylvania Senate race, where Republican Dave McCormick has claimed victory over incumbent Senator Bob Casey (D-PA).
Despite the Associated Press having already called the race for McCormick, Fetterman has not held back, sharing his concerns openly on social media as votes continue to be tallied.
“Pennsylvania is going to count every last vote,” Fetterman said in a post on X. “That’s not controversial—that’s the law. Also, Green dipsh***’ votes helping elect the GOP.”
As of Thursday evening, Green Party candidate Leila Hazou had amassed around 64,000 votes, nearly twice the 33,000-vote margin currently separating Casey and McCormick.
Hazou, a Palestinian woman, has made her anti-war stance clear throughout the campaign. Earlier this year, she confronted Casey over his lack of support for a ceasefire in Gaza, a position that has resonated with many progressive voters.
“There are a lot of people who are staunch Democrats who just can’t vote for genocide,” Hazou stated, referring to her stance on foreign policy.
The Green Party’s presence has often been a sore point for Democrats, who argue that Green candidates siphon away votes needed to secure critical seats.
In previous elections, Democrats have even invested in ads against Green Party candidates, as they did in October to discourage support for Green presidential candidate Jill Stein.
The Associated Press explained its decision to call the race for McCormick, noting that Casey’s path to victory is statistically unlikely.
“McCormick was leading by more than 30,000 votes when AP called the race at 4:09 p.m., and though there were an estimated 91,000 votes still outstanding, there were not enough in areas supporting Casey for him to make up the difference,” the news outlet reported.

Meanwhile, other third-party candidates have also made their mark on the race. Libertarian candidate John Thomas garnered around 87,000 votes, while Marty Selker of the Constitution Party, a right-leaning group, received about 23,000 votes.
As the dust settles, Fetterman’s remarks highlight the tensions within Left-leaning factions, especially in battleground states where every vote counts.
And with Republicans now having just a narrow Senate majority, every Senate race matters.
But since every race matters and every vote counts, perhaps it’s wise for John Fetterman to not attack voters for making a choice to support a third party candidate.
It’s now very likely that they won’t support a Democrat candidate again after Fetterman decided to refer to them in a vulgar way.
The radical Left is still finding new ways to lose elections it looks like.
