John Fetterman entered a no-win situation.

But he imploded on live television.

And John Fetterman froze like a deer in headlights over this Kamala Harris promise.

John Fetterman’s nonsensical answer about Kamala Harris’ proposed fracking ban

When Vice President Kamala Harris ran for President in 2020, she supported banning fracking.

That’s now a major issue because if she wins in November and bans fracking, hundreds of thousands of jobs in Pennsylvania will vanish.

Pennsylvania is now the most important state on the map and Kamala’s support for a fracking ban could cost her the Presidency.

Her campaign claims she no longer supports banning fracking.

But Kamala herself never explained why she supported banning fracking in the first place and what caused her to change her mind.

Since she won’t do interviews, this leaves it to her surrogates to explain her constantly shifting policy views.

U.S. Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) found himself in this unenviable position during an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press.

Host Kristen Welker pressed him on Kamala’s proposed fracking ban that would devastate Pennsylvania’s economy.

Fetterman’s absurd response didn’t even defend her at all.

Instead, he complained about the fact that Democrats were still having to defend Kamala from this hairbrained idea from four years ago.

“So strange why we just keep talking about fracking. Back in 2020, I said that it might be an issue but it’s not going to be a defining issue. And now in 2024, we’re still trying to talk about fracking,” Fetterman began.

John Fetterman tries to deflect from the real story

Fetterman tried to shift the conversation to immigration and whined that the media wasn’t attacking U.S. Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) and former President Donald Trump enough over their claims that Haitian migrants were eating dogs and cats in Springfield, Ohio.

 “It’s strange for some weird ‘gotcha,’ kind of taking quotes out of context. And you know, here I am now, I’m a United States Senator, and I won by five points, a record margin back in ’22. And again, it might be an issue in fracking. And I fully support fracking. So does the Vice President Harris. And now if you want to have a serious conversation about policy, then I would challenge Trump and Vance to have one, other than talking about eating pets,” Fetterman added.

But Welker, surprisingly, wouldn’t let Fetterman off the hook that easily.

 “And we’ll have plenty of questions for Senator Lindsey Graham, there’s no doubt about that. But to the point, what do you now like about fracking? You say you’re not going to ban it, you support it now,” Welker asked.

But Fetterman ducked the question again and repeated gibberish about eating dogs and cats in Springfield.

 “Uh-oh. ‘They’re eating dogs, they’re eating cats.’ You know, again, so — okay. Yes, any more on fracking?” Fetterman replied.

Democrats can’t defend Kamala Harris on her fracking ban flip-flop because they all know it isn’t real and if she wins in November a fracking ban is likely to be one of the first moves she makes.
