Host Jesse Watters teed up an interview with Fetterman, utilizing clips of the May Day demonstrations throughout the nation earlier that day, and calling the protests a “commie clown show.”
“There’s a big problem when one party can’t love their own country unless it’s in charge,” Watters mentioned earlier than asking Fetterman, “How big of a threat do you think this communist movement is?”
The senator mentioned it was “very sad to see” the handful of sickle and hammer flags and “Communist Manifestos” Fox News cherry-picked for the section.
After claiming the grassroots protests had been “funded by billionaires” – an accusation that there’s little proof for – Fetterman mentioned Senate candidate Graham Platner securing the Democratic nomination was proof of a “communist takeover” taking place in Maine.
He additionally cited pro-Palestinian sentiment and outrage over Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s brutality as proof his celebration was turning into “an orgy of socialism.”
“I’m not necessarily the most popular guy, which is strange to me because it’s like, I am a Democrat and, you know, I’m the guy that flipped that seat,” he mentioned.
