After last night’s disaster debate performance, some on the left are trying to salvage one good quote from Fetterman. But (putting aside the typo in the meme) this isn’t even an accurate quote, it’s literally what his supports imagined him saying.
Here’s what he actually said, it was disjointed and muddled like most of his quotes from last night, watch for yourself beginning at 2:40

My close captioning attempt:
🔹”I don’t ever recall in the Statue of Liberty did they say, you know, yo…take our tired, huddled masses and put them on a bus, and use cheap political stunts about them. I believe we have to develop a comprehensive and bicartisan solution to…to address our issue here, for immigration here, in our nation.”
▪️The only reference for this quote appears to be from what his wife tweeted as her apparent recollection of the debate.

Just incredible. After posting a meme blaming Charlie Kirk for his own murder, they post another a few hours later applauding Democrats for their civility.
Also, if you look at the Occupy Democrats timeline, their posts “denouncing political violence” were variations on “no one should be shot…BUT here’s a quote from Kirk showing he’s a terrible person.” Or sometimes they’d leave the first part out altogether and just attack him. There are no posts denouncing violence without qualifiers trying to gin up their base.
