In a refreshing twist, Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania is taking a stand against the sale of U.S. Steel to Japanese interests. Fetterman, known for his unusual positions within the Democratic Party, including his support for border security and criticism of indicted Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez, is making waves with his latest stance.

In a video posted on X, Fetterman expresses his outrage at the sale of U.S. Steel to Nippon Steel of Japan. He highlights the importance of steel to national security and promises to do everything in his power to block the sale. Fetterman also pledges to defend the rights of steelworkers and their union way of life.
Despite his history of radical positions, Fetterman’s willingness to put American interests first is earning him praise from conservatives. One person on X agrees with Fetterman’s stance, saying, “US Steel should remain in the US.” Others apologize for their previous criticism of Fetterman and thank him for fighting for American jobs.
While Fetterman’s position may be a departure from his party’s talking points, it is refreshing to see a Democratic senator unapologetically standing up for American interests. In a time when many politicians are more concerned with partisan politics than with doing what’s best for the American people, Fetterman’s stance is a breath of fresh air.
