A Message From Above That Fetterman Is Not Right…

By

(RepublicanWire.org) – The final push for the midterms was underway in Pennsylvania Saturday as the commonwealth remained one of the top battlegrounds for control of the Senate with Republican candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz in a tight race with Fetterman. As part of the last ditch effort to garner votes, Obama traveled with the struggling Democrat, but the optics only emphasized the life support the campaign was relying on.

“Today Dr. Oz is gonna be standing with Donald Trump on the stage,” Fetterman said of the dueling rallies across the Keystone State, “and I’m gonna be proud to be standing with a president that is a hundred percent sedition free.”

No sooner had the statement left the candidates mouth, the wind picked up and toppled the backdrop of American flags behind the stage. After RNC Research posted a clip of the event with the caption, “John Fetterman’s rally is off to a great start…” Donald Trump Jr. shared the video and called the incident, “The perfect metaphor for Fetterman’s campaign.”

The New York Post’s Miranda Devine suggested there was something bigger at play and that “God has had enough!!”

She wasn’t alone in suspecting as Democrats campaign on abortion and corrupting and mutilating children that the Almighty may have making a point about the left’s platform. Ian Miles Cheong wrote,”Someone up there doesn’t like it when Fetterman tells lies.”

Similarly, Jack Posobiec drew attention to the imagery from a nearby Save America rally featuring  Republican gubernatorial candidate state Sen. Doug Mastriano and former President Donald Trump where a rainbow had appeared in Latrobe, PA about 35 miles away from the Democrats. He opined, “Signs and portents.”

Polling in Pennsylvania leading into the final weekend before the midterm showed Oz with a slight lead over Fetterman within the margin of error and still below the 50 percent threshold as nearly four percent remain undecided. As such, the weight of optics before Tuesday looms large and all of the momentum looks to be favoring Republicans in Pennsylvania following the train wreck that was the one and only debate between the candidates.

“What a visual for a sunken candidate,” Club for Growth Vice President of Government Affairs Scott Parkinson wrote as Peter Towey of Targeted Victory suggested, “John Fetterman’s lead fell faster then the flags.”

Joe Manchin Demands Apology From Biden…

By

(RepublicanWire.org) – Sen. Joe Manchin Saturday demanded President Biden apologize for saying coal plants “all across America” will be shut down, in a scathing rebuke days before the midterm elections.

Manchin said: “President Biden’s comments are not only outrageous and divorced from reality, they ignore the severe economic pain the American people are feeling because of rising energy costs. 

“Comments like these are the reason the American people are losing trust in President Biden and instead believes he does not understand the need to have an all in energy policy that would keep our nation totally energy independent and secure. 

“It seems his positions change depending on the audience and the politics of the day. 

“Politicizing our nation’s energy policies would only bring higher prices and more pain for the American people.

“Let me be clear, this is something the President has never said to me. 

“Being cavalier about the loss of coal jobs for men and women in West Virginia and across the country who literally put their lives on the line to help build and power this country is offensive and disgusting. 

“The President owes these incredible workers an immediate and public apology and it is time he learn a lesson that his words matter and have consequences,” Manchin said.

Biden said:

“No one is building new coal plants because they can’t rely on it. 

“Even if they have all the coal guaranteed for the rest of the existence of the plant. 

“So it’s going to become a wind generation.

“And all they’re doing is it’s going to save them a hell of a lot of money and using the same transmission line that they transmitted the coal-fired electric on, we’re going to be shutting these plants down all across America and having wind and solar power.”

Dem. Gov. Makes Jaw-Dropping Remark About Republicans…

By

(RepublicanWire.org) – Appearing with MSNBC’s Al Sharton, Hochul pushed back against Republican worries about crime only days head of the midterm elections. Hochul even referred to Republican critics at one point as “master manipulators.”

“These are master manipulators. They have this conspiracy going all across America trying to convince people in Democratic states that they’re not as safe. Well guess what? They’re also not only election deniers, they’re data deniers,” she said.

The governor blasted states with less strict gun laws and blasted her opponent, Republican Lee Zeldin, for coming from Long Island, where crime has been down.

Safer spaces today, Hochul claimed, are Democratic-controlled states.

“Safer places are the Democratic states,” she said.

Crime in New York’s subway system is up by 41% as of Oct. 17, CNN reported, citing statistics from New York Police Department.

With crime on the rise nationwide, 64% of Americans blame “woke politicians” for the issue, according to a recent Harvard-Harris poll. Fifty-two percent of Democrats, 75% of Republicans and 60% of independents blamed “woke politicians” rather than “other factors” for the nation’s historic increase in crime.

Hochul has been blasted over a remark she made during a debate with Zeldin last week, when he confronted her about the skyrocketing crime in New York, and she literally said, “I don’t know why that’s so important to you”?

Meanwhile, Zeldin tweeted Sunday evening, “Just left Borough Park. It’s clearer than ever we have all of the energy and momentum on our side, we have the issues on our side, and, in 9 Days, New Yorkers are ALL IN to FIRE Kathy Hochul, TAKE BACK our streets, and SAVE our State!”

Early voting in New York started Saturday and goes through next Sunday. The election is Nov. 8.

With the election coming down to the wire, an unconstitutional infringement was caught on video showing NYPD removing Lee Zeldin signs in Brooklyn.

Fetterman Called Out For Massive Flip Flop…

By

(RepublicanWire.org) – Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman stumbled during Tuesday’s debate with his GOP challenger, Dr. Mehmet Oz, after he was asked about prior statements he made in opposition to fracking, a process he now says he has “always supported.”

“I’ve always supported fracking and I always believe that independence with our energy is critical, and we can’t be held, you know, ransom to somebody like Russia,” Fetterman said. “I’ve always believed that energy independence is critical and I’ve always believed that — and I do support fracking, never taken any money from their industry, but I support how critical it is that we produce our energy and create energy independence.”

Pressed on the issue and how to “square” his previous comments against fracking with his current position, Fetterman said, “I do support fracking, and I don’t, I don’t — I support fracking, and I stand, and I do support fracking.”

Fetterman, currently Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor, supported a complete moratorium on fracking in the state, according to an April 2016 Facebook post from Pennsylvania Voters Against Fracking.

He also said during a 2016 debate, during his first run for Senate, that he supported a fracking moratorium.

Even CNN fact checked John Fetterman, and decided Fetterman has indeed flip flopped.

In a 2018 YouTube interview, Fetterman said, “I don’t support fracking, at all, and I never have.”

“I’ve signed the no fossil fuels money pledge,” he added at the time. “I have never received a dime from any natural gas or oil company whatsoever.”

In addition, as previously reported in July, Fetterman called the Pennsylvania fracking industry a “stain” on the state and recounted his own “extremely privileged” upbringing in Reddit posts during his unsuccessful 2016 run for Senate.

“I’m not pro-fracking and have stated that if we did things right in this state, we wouldn’t have fracking,” Fetterman wrote in one Reddit post. “The industry is a stain on our state and natural resources. But yes, of course I worry about the viability of getting a ban on fracking done when the industry is already so entrenched in Pennsylvania,” he said, adding that he had “signed the Food and Water Watch’s pledge to end Fracking.”

Contrary to previous remarks he had offered related to fracking, Fetterman and his campaign have walked back his past support for anti-fossil fuel leasing policies.

“John does not support a fracking moratorium or ban. If you were paying attention to our campaign, you would have known this has not been his position for years and that he was attacked in the primary over his support of fracking,” Fetterman campaign spokesperson Joe Calvello told Fox News Digital in a July email. “In fact, throughout his career John has stood up to politicians to fight for U.S. Steel’s right to build fracking wells.”

“John believes that we have to preserve the union way of life for the thousands of workers currently employed or supported by the natural gas industry in Pennsylvania and the communities where they live,” he added.

Many weighed in to voice their concerns on Fetterman’s well being.

Fetterman, who suffered a near-fatal stroke in May, said in his opening remarks that he might miss words during the debate due to his ongoing auditory processing recovery.
