宾夕法尼亚州民主党参议员约翰·费特曼周六在一场演讲活动中，因误称自己为“终身共和党人”引发全场大笑。
费特曼是在德克萨斯论坛报节的舞台上发表此番言论的，随后他迅速纠正了自己，并强调自己没有理由脱离民主党。
这一幕发生在活动一名观众提问他为何不以独立候选人身份参选之后。
特立独行的民主党人因本党倒戈而获共和党支持，引发其转投共和党传闻

“因为我是终身共和党人，”他说完便意识到自己说错了话，“我敢肯定这句话会被剪进新闻里。”
费特曼在当天活动早些时候发表了基调演讲，阐述了他对共和党和民主党两党的批评。

“我没有理由加入共和党，”费特曼在谈及转投共和党时说道，“但在这种‘大帐篷’氛围下，说‘美国理应遭受9·11袭击’或‘美国比基地组织更糟糕’，要比坚定地站在以色列一边容易得多。”

费特曼承认，他认为自己“作为共和党人没有前途”，但同时也承认，许多民主党人对他愿意与反对党合作感到不满。
费特曼面临民主党反抗，重磅报道推动罢免他的行动：“可耻”
“如果民主党投票将我驱逐出党，他们当然有权这么做，”他说道。
此前费特曼曾暗示脱离民主党党团，本月早些时候他在共和党全国委员会中期会议上介绍共和党同事、宾夕法尼亚州参议员戴夫·麦考密克的视频发布后，进一步引发了他将跳槽的猜测，共和党人也一直张开双臂欢迎他加入。

但这位从进步派转向中间派的议员一再重申自己的民主党身份，尽管党内已经有人呼吁将他赶出参议院。
费特曼在2022年以微弱优势击败穆罕默德·奥兹医生当选参议员，凭借进步派纲领为民主党赢得了历史上微弱的多数席位。
但自那以后，他成了民主党人的眼中钉，并对该党的发展方向提出了挑战。

今年早些时候，费特曼警告称，如果民主党在反以色列政策立场上更加根深蒂固，他就会退出民主党，并在本次中期选举周期中抨击该党的发展方向，当时密歇根州的阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德等极左翼进步人士已经成为党内的领军人物。

Sen. John Fetterman, D-PA, triggered a wave of laughs at a speaking event on Saturday after mistakenly referring to himself as a “lifelong Republican.”
Fetterman made the statement while on stage at the Texas Tribune Festival, going on to quickly correct himself and assert that he has no reason to abandon the Democratic Party.
The moment came when an attendee at the event asked why Fetterman doesn’t run as an independent.

“Because I’m a lifelong Republican,” he said, realizing his mistake. “I guarantee you that will break through. That will get clipped.”
Fetterman gave a keynote address earlier in the event where he elaborated on his criticisms of both the Republican and Democratic parties.

“I don’t have a reason to,” Fetterman said of joining Republicans. “But for a big-tent situation, it’s easier to be included in that big tent to say America deserved 9/11 or America is worse than Al-Qaida than being very proud to stand on the side of Israel.”

Fetterman admitted he believed he has “no path as a Republican,” but acknowledged that many Democrats are frustrated by his willingness to work with the opposing party.

“If the Democratic Party votes me out or expels me, they’re always entitled to do that,” he said.
Fetterman has been welcomed with open arms by Republicans to join the party after he floated leaving his own caucus and spurred further speculation that he would jump ship after dropping a video introducing his colleague, Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., at the Republican National Committee’s midterm convention earlier this month.

But the progressive-turned-centrist has repeatedly affirmed his Democratic ties, even as the knives have come out to cut him loose from the Senate.
Fetterman started his career in the Senate after besting Dr. Mehmet Oz in a tight race for power in 2022, where he clinched a historically thin Democratic majority in 2022 running on a progressive platform.
But since then, he has become a thorn in Democrats’ side and challenged the direction of the party.

Earlier this year, Fetterman warned that if Democrats became more entrenched in anti-Israel policy positions, he would exit the party, and has taken jabs at the party’s direction during this midterm election cycle as far-left progressives, like Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, have emerged as standard-bearers.
