Fetterman was closer to voting for Hegseth than many realize. He wanted to cast an anti-cancel culture vote, as a person familiar w/ his thinking said
He brought up Bill Clinton & Jay-Z in arguing to approve Hegseth
“He went on some rants about that"

In the Monday interview, I asked Deluzio about the Fetterman story in NY Mag and if he can continue to serve. Deluzio said he would wait to render judgment until Fetterman addressed the story
(On Tues, Fetterman called it a "hit piece from a very left publication")

Given Portnoy's platform and audience, his commentary is notable:
"There’s nothing being made up here. Jeffrey Goldberg is telling the truth. It’s obvious these texts are real. It’s obvious they’re classified. It’s obvious we gave away the strike information two hours before it happened."
