Hawk digs into a Wall Street Journal report on Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, built on interviews with more than a dozen former staffers and lawmakers plus internal records, that describes a senator who routinely dodges constituents, skips Senate business, and has frustrated his own staff with an intense focus on Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu. Fetterman did not respond to the paper's requests for comment.
Hawk walks through the most striking details. Fetterman reportedly canceled a long scheduled meeting with three paralyzed veterans, claiming illness, then showed up less than an hour later for a Fox News interview about the Iran war. He allegedly dismissed leaders from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia worried about Medicaid cuts as people who just wanted free trips to Washington, complained that a fallen officers' funeral would run too long, and was marked present at hearings only to leave immediately.
The report also details a resolution Fetterman wanted forcing senators to vote on whether the war in Gaza is genocide, which his staff talked him out of, and a pro Israel op-ed his staff blocked over Foreign Agents Registration Act concerns after he sought talking points from the Israeli ambassador. Hawk closes on why this makes the Senate math so consequential heading into 2028.
