Republican Praises Democrat Who Defies Party | Amarillo News

A Republican senator is praising a Democrat for daring to criticize his own party’s extremism—yes, really. Senator Dave McCormick lauds Sen. John Fetterman for speaking out against what he calls the “craziness” in the Democratic Party, even if it costs him popularity among some fellow Democrats. McCormick argues the party has veered too far left on issues like military and law enforcement support, citing Michigan’s progressive primary win as evidence. He contrasts this with Pennsylvania, where Fetterman stands apart. Fetterman, meanwhile, isn’t backing down—he’s openly criticized progressive challengers and drawn a moral line: he won’t stay in the party if it officially becomes “anti-Israel.” This unusual bipartisan moment reveals deep fractures within the Democratic Party—and shows how rare it is for a GOP voice to endorse such a stance.
