Donald Trump must be shaking on his bone spurs because he had a lot of things to say about John Fetterman. At a campaign event on Saturday, Donald Trump and his MAGA goon-squad rallied for the support of Dr. Oz in the Pennsylvania Senate race. There’s nothing to compliment about the candidate he’s backing, Dr. Oz – certainly not two hours’ worth – so Trump had to resort to petty insults against Fetterman.

He took his usual route of spewing hateful rhetoric towards anyone that stands against him but hit a new low in accusing John Fetterman of using drugs like fentanyl and heroin as a recreational habit. There seems to be a pattern here, as we’ve seen with the Hunter Biden story, of Donald Trump and the GOP using addiction as a cruel playing card in their sick game of attacking our American Democracy.

But in this case, there’s zero merit to the insult. It’s a nasty statement made only because Fetterman refuses to present himself like a standard politician. He doesn’t need to dress up when so many Pennsylvanians trust him. He’s served them for nearly two decades at this point, and his base is millions strong. He’s simply the best candidate for the Pennsylvania Senate seat.

Dr. Oz on the other hand? Besides his TV personality, he’s got nothing going for him. The MAGA GOP can no longer find legitimate community leaders or public servants to campaign for them. Of course Trump supports him. They’re two peas in a pod, total frauds that want a seat in our government.

During the event, Trump also grossly misrepresented the policies of John Fetterman to stoke the aggression of his already emboldened supporters and fuel their never-ending thirst for division and violence. In his nearly two-hour-long speech, he went on to attack the Justice Department and FBI yet again in attempts to garner sympathy for his hoarding of classified documents.

This is neither surprising nor novel on Trump’s part, but rather another reason why we do not want him representing our country or our values ever again. A man who has made a career out of lying and cheating his way through business will only continue to do so for those who enable and support his hateful ways in American politics.

There must be consequences for people in power who do not uphold the law to the best of their ability – even Trump who falls short in most of his “abilities”. They must be held accountable. His senseless lies and attacks on our brothers and sisters across the country cannot go unchecked or unpunished. He and the MAGA cult must not be able to claw their way back into government. And as for those who still stand in the way – they must be voted out in November.

There is no hyperbole here: democracy is truly hanging in the balance with the next few seasons of elections. The time to fight back is now, and with the midterms quickly approaching, we need all the help that we can receive. Join us in defending democracy and blocking the semi-fascists from ever holding power again.
