Fetterman Says Zohran Mamdani's 'Not Even A Democrat.' Critics Say, 'Look Who’s Talking'

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) caught some major side-eye after questioning New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s Democratic credentials.

During a Thursday interview on Fox News, the senator dismissed Mamdani’s popularity while suggesting his views were far outside the party’s mainstream.

“I’m not a voter in New York City, so I have no dog in that fight and everything that I’ve read on him, I don’t really agree with virtually any of it, politically,” Fetterman said. “So that’s just where I’m at as a Democrat. He’s not even a Democrat, honestly.”

Online, critics found the remark ironic coming from someone who’s broken ranks with his party on key issues like immigration and who’s been increasingly willing to cozy up to President Donald Trump.

“Pot meets kettle,” one X user wrote under a clip of the senator’s chat with Fox.
