Flailing Democrat Senate Candidate Attempts to Scrub Connection to Woke BLM

Pennsylvania Democrat candidate for Senate, John Fetterman is clearly getting nervous as November’s midterm elections draw closer and closer.

Fetterman, who has attempted to paint himself as a moderate Democrat to voters, removed all mentions of his affiliation with the controversial Black Lives Matter activist group from his campaign page.

The phrase does not appear in text anywhere on his website anymore, and it only gets a passing mention in the video on his “Taking on Crime” page. In that video, he attempts to justify his decision to chase down an unarmed black jogger in his pickup truck while armed with a 20-gauge shotgun.

The Pennsylvania Democrat’s radical approach to crime has been a particular sticking point for voters, especially because of his attempts to downplay his radical ideas in order to get votes.

Fetterman has tried to walk back his position that everyone convicted of second-degree murder serving life without parole in Pennsylvania should be released.

In a taped interview Fetterman said that he wanted a conversation that “would free close to 1,200 people.” At the time, there were 1,166 people in Pennsylvania serving life sentences without parole for second-degree murder, according to The Washington Examiner.

Fetterman’s opponent Dr. Mehmet Oz (R) has recently called attention to Fetterman’s bleak criminal justice record and voters are taking notice. (RELATED: Fetterman Picks Infamous Cop Hater for Pennsylvania Board of Pardons)

In 2019, the Pennsylvania Board of Pardons (which Fetterman chairs) unanimously approved the release of Charles Goldblum. Goldblum and an accomplice, Charles Miller, had lured George Wilhelm into a parking garage in 1976, where Miller stabbed him 26 times. Goldblum later admitted that he and Miller burned down his restaurant and that Wilhelm knew about their involvement. While Goldblum was out on bond in 1976 awaiting trial, he also attempted to have Miller killed so he could not testify against him.

Fetterman also voted to free Wayne Covington, a man who shot and killed 18-year-old George Rudnycky while attempting to rob him for drug money. Covington pleaded guilty to first-degree murder. Fetterman couches his soft-on-crime stance with talk of how no one should stay in prison for life if they “did not take a life,” but it turns out he also means it for those who did take a life.

It’s clear Fetterman’s campaign is in freefall and attempting to clean up his image in any way possible to give him a fighting chance against Oz. The Republican has been rapidly cutting into Fetterman’s once-double-digit polling lead over the last two months.
