Is he still allowed to be honest in that party?
Hope he doesn't slip on a banana peel out on the streets of DC.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) criticized Democrats who have been warming up to and embracing socialism while dismissing capitalism, describing them as “morons.”
When asked about a Gallup poll that found that 42 percent of Democrats have a favorable view of capitalism, while 66 percent of Democrats “view socialism favorably,” Fetterman shared how when he was in Croatia, he told people that “some people” in the Democrat Party “are talking about socialism,” and asked people about their thoughts.
Fetterman continued to explain how one guy expressed that socialism is “the worst thing ever” and warned that people would “never want to live” in a country with socialism.
“Senator, there’s a Gallup poll that was released that 42 percent of Democratic voters view capitalism favorably, while 66 percent of Democratic voters view socialism favorably. Do you think that’s a messaging issue for Democrats?” a reporter asked.
“Oh, that’s a great, it’s a great question,” Fetterman responded. “I literally was in a former communist nation, and I asked that. I said, ‘Some people in my party, some of the lefties are talking about socialism now. What do you think?’ And he’s like, ‘That’s the worst thing ever. You would never want to live here, I’ve lived through that kind of a thing. You’re going to need a reality check if you ever adopt any of those things. You know, like, you are morons. It’s like, it was a nightmare for us, and now we are a free market nation.’ It was Croatia.”
Fetterman continued to note that people in Croatia were “mystified” why Americans are “even having that conversation in our nation.”
