Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman shocked The View's co-hosts and fans with seemingly pro-Trump commentary, suggesting his trial was unjust.

ABC News spoke with Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, a Democrat, on Tuesday to discuss Jan. 6 pardons, the Laken Riley Act, and his meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago. [ The senator, to better hear the conversation, used his phone to caption the questions he was asked.]

While attending Donald Trump's inauguration, Fetterman said switching from a Democrat to a Republican would be a "rocket sled to Palookaville."

Pa., told "The View" that he met with President Trump and it was a "positive" experience, calling Trump "kind" and "cordial."

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman backtracked on Monday and stopped being the only Democrat in the Upper House to refuse to sign a resolution to officially condemn President Donald Trump's decision to grant sweeping clemency to defendants who assaulted Capitol Police Officers on the January 6 riots.

On this morning’s episode of The View, Fetterman — a Democrat who recently met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago — clarified how he felt about former president Joe Biden pardoning his son before leaving office, as well as Trump’s blanket pardon for more than 1,500 people charged in connection to the Jan. 6 insurrection.

“Overall, it was just a straight-up conversation,” Fetterman continued to explain of his Trump meeting. “I just have a rule: I’m going to engage and have a conversation that’s anyone playing it straight, and that’s that’s be doing my job.”

Robert F. Kennedy’s first confirmation hearing Wednesday to become secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services was quickly interrupted by protesters over the Trump nominee’s vaccine positions. During his opening remarks, Kennedy said under oath that he is “not anti-vaccine”—but people standing in the back of the room weren’t convinced.

Pennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman was grilled on The View Monday about his “rightward shift” after many have criticized him for cozying up to President Donald Trump and his administration.

John Fetterman is the normie whisperer of DC. And beleaguered Democrats, who abandoned governing for virtue signaling, could use some of that normie energy about now.
