Democrat John Fetterman made a controversial appearance at the Republican convention in Dallas, Texas. A video of his was shown on the giant screens of the event, where Fetterman introduced himself as a "sensible Democrat" and declared that he would work with "President Trump to fight and defend Pennsylvania's steel way of life."
This is not the first time Fetterman has distanced himself from the Democratic Party. His presence at the Republican convention represents another sign of his progressive distancing from the party to which he is affiliated.
Fetterman is a Democratic senator from the state of Pennsylvania, a state that has a strong industrial and steel-making tradition. His message during the Republican convention seems to have been directed at workers in that industry, trying to position himself as an alternative to traditional Democrats.
