Fetterman can kiss my ass. He represents the worst kind of politician: someone who exudes authenticity and goodwill, but turns around and stabs his supporters in the back when it’s politically convenient, and gets indignant and defensive when called out on it.
Fetterman’s wife was an undocumented immigrant, and she has been quite open about it and the challenges of being an immigrant in the US, undocumented or not. This issue is such a strange one for a senator of a non-border state to switch his stance, which makes me confident it’s not about the issue itself, but it’s about grabbing and keeping power.
His kowtowing to Trump otherwise makes no sense, his embrace of right-wing talking points is concerning, his blind support of Israel is infuriating, and I can’t help but think that he never really had any principles since his about-face has seemed as authentic as his initial popularity.
People point out that the stroke he had after taking office very plausibly affected him. It's possible that it literally fucked his brain up, so now hes lost the plot.
Its no comfort, as hes now effectively a GOP senator for several more years and will be embraced with open arms, but it may not be duplicitious.
The problem is. He was an asshole and a bully before he took office. The stroke didn't change that. The problem is that people nationally, but in Pennsylvania too were sold someone who never existed. He was better than Oz. But still a horribly flawed candidate. As is political tradition.

MF has brain damage. That explains quite a bit of his change in behavior.
