Fetterman recently told NBC News that he is 'not a progressive'.
In an interview this week, Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman slammed the BDS movement and said that although Harvard University has always been a little "pinko" he doesn’t "recognize" it 25 years after he attended the school following Claudine Gay’s resignation as president.
"As an alum of Harvard — look, I graduated 25 years ago, and of course it was always a little pinko," Fetterman told NBC News this week "But now, I don’t recognize it."

Fetterman also told NBC that "Israel is really a beacon of the kind of values, the American values and progressive ideals, that you want to see."
"In that region, it’s our strongest ally, and we have a very special kind of relationship. I don’t understand how anybody could vote against the Iron Dome, or want to harm Israeli businesses or the nation or anything. I’ll never understand that. Calling them ‘colonizers’— like, where does this come from? It must be TikTok or some kind of obscure classroom talk."
Fetterman also addressed calls for a "cease fire" in Israel from within his own party.
"More and more of my colleagues are calling for it," Fetterman said. "It’s so strange. Why aren’t you calling for Hamas to surrender? If Hamas surrendered, and turned over their guns, all the killing and all the misery would."
