John Fetterman actually said...

"I refuse to burn the village down in order to save it."

"Total theater is neither honest with constituents nor a winning argument."

"It’s a CR that we all agree we don’t like — but for me we can’t ever allow the government to shut down."

"If you shut it down, you will impact and hurt millions and millions and millions of Americans, and you run the risk of slipping us into a recession or even all kinds of other things."
