Fetterman Continues to Back Rep. Stefanik for US Ambassador to UN

One of the most prestigious and influential diplomatic posts you can have in an administration is being the Ambassador to the United Nations.

Donald Trump has nominated Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) to the post, which many Democrats are already whining about.

Senator Fetterman (D-PA), however, is unapologetically supporting her for this role.

Reasonable

I can’t believe I am saying this, but I am starting to really like Fetterman.

For all the critiques we had of him during his election and first few months, he has turned out to be one of the more reasonable Democrats in all of Congress.

And he had every right to take a hard line against the GOP after the bombs we threw at him, but he actually seems like he wants to talk across the aisle and work with Republicans.

He was someone who had a far-left tag on his head when he took office, but he has turned out to be one of the more moderate Democrats in office.

To that point, while many Democrats are rejecting Stefanik because she is a Trump loyalist, Fetterman is backing her appointment.

He recently posted on X, "Always was a hard YES for @EliseStefanik but it was a pleasure to have a conversation. I support defunding UNRWA for its documented Hamas infiltration and fully look forward to her holding the @UN accountable for its endemic antisemitism and blatant anti-Israel views.”

Stefanik was thankful for the boost, responding, "Thank you to @SenFettermanPA for hosting a very productive meeting where we discussed our shared commitment to standing with Israel and combating antisemitism.

"Senator Fetterman shared his ideas for strong national security leadership and I highlighted my ideas on implementing President @realDonaldTrump's America First peace through strength national security agenda.”

I am not really a fan of Stefanik, but she is not my congresswoman, so that is irrelevant.

Having said that, she has proven that she is more than qualified for this post, and I think she will excel in a role where she will be required to stiffen that backbone and defend Trump and our conservative agenda before the world.

She is clearly a fighter, so I would warn the UN that they have no idea about the little tornado that is headed its way.
