Fetterman eviscerates anti-Israel ‘rot’ in Democratic party, shuts down AOC’s ‘genocide’ rhetoric

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., blasted what he called a “rot” within the Democratic Party, citing what he described as its growing anti-Israel wing.

The Pennsylvania Democrat was responding to comments from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., suggesting the United States should consider withholding aid to Israel.

Ocasio-Cortez said the United States’ “unconditional” support for Israel helped facilitate a “genocide” in Gaza, a characterization Fetterman rejected.

“There was never any genocide in Gaza, absolutely, and there shouldn’t ever be any conditions for aid for Israel, because they were in an existential war,” he said on “Saturday in America.”

“That’s part of the problem with the very anti-Israel part of my party,” he added.
