John Fetterman Mocks Quality of Fellow Lawmakers Saying They are Not The Best and Brightest

Wow. John Fetterman says America isn't sending their best and brightest to DC. He mocked his fellow law makers. The guy should really look in the mirror and make a major self assessment before opening his mouth and talking about others. He is one of those that aren't the 'best and the brightest'. He is part of the problem that he complains about.


Fetterman Mocks Fellow Lawmakers on Late Night Show

Fetterman mocks fellow lawmakers on late-night show: 'America is not sending their best and brightest' to DC. Fetterman said the quality of elected officials in DC was 'scary' and 'dangerous'.

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., joined late night host Stephen Colbert on Wednesday and said Americans weren't sending their "best and brightest" to Capitol Hill, arguing that it is "scary."

"Is it awkward to be in the Capitol and then run into people that you have put up a devastating meme about because you’ve got excellent meme game. But then you have to see these people in the cafeteria," Colbert said on "The Late Show."

"You all need to know that America is not sending their best and brightest to Washington, D.C.," Fetterman responded, to laughter from the audience. "Sometimes you literally just can’t believe. These people are making the decisions that are determining the government here. It’s actually scary."

Well he would know since he's in DC...

But how many Senators can put a lightbulb in their mouth and make it work?

It’s just a sick shame that you can’t even do a late night comedy show anymore without banning all conservatives from having any platform but they will let any old democrat, even ones that are hated by BOTH side and their constituents like AOC, have an open mic! What ever happened to Bob Hope, Carol Brunette, and Johnny Carson when people just left politicians alone and gave everyone an entertaining show!?

That's just it, none of it is comedy. They run fake laugh tracks with the so called 'jokes', but it is all nothing more than snotty partisan garbage none of which is funny. It's all just mean and one sided snotty political hits.

As a simple statement of fact, and without regard to whether one is a Dem or Repub, his statement is correct. In a nation with anything approaching a democratic form of government, people tend to vote for people who are like themselves. By definition, about 2/3 of the population are intellectually in the average range (IQ between 85 and 115). To the extent that elections truly reflect the popular will, the population of elected officials will tend over time to revert to the average. By definition, not the best and brightest.

Yes, but the irony here is that HE IS PART OF THE PROBLEM.
He is one of those who isn't 'the best and the brightest'.

There ya' go. Exactly.

This man is a disgrace.

Can’t even bother putting on suit in the Senate.

A further attempt by the Democrats to destroy America.

All of our traditions and values are under attack.

It’s now or never for our traditional government.

It's very sad to have somebody that is mentally ill in the halls of Congress tell them the American people that hey this is all the 24-hour party of drunkards and we enjoy living off the high on the hog so yeah keep inviting a slow IQ idiots into the halls of Congress you guys deserve it.

Can anyone say distraction from Obama and the democrats other hand...

Fetterman says what he is TOLD to say. How else can you wake the masses to the # show we call congress that to have a known retard calling out the rest?
