Sen. Fetterman breaks with President Biden on US response to Iran attacks: 'We should have Israel's back'

FOX News

Sen. Fetterman said he disagreed with President Biden's decision to keep the U.S. out of any offensive response to the Iran attacks on Sunday during an interview with CNN. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., said he didn't agree with President Biden on his stance that the U.S. wouldn't join in an offensive operation against Iran during an interview on Sunday, saying he would never "capitulate to the fringe" of his party. CNN host Jake Tapper asked Fetterman to respond to reports that Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the U.S. wouldn't participate in any offensive operations against Iran during a conversation on Saturday. "Do you think that's the right call or should direct U.S. military action, as some of your colleagues in the Senate are suggesting, should that be on the table?" he asked. "I don't agree with that, I just think we should follow and have Israel's back in the situation. I don't agree with the president. I'm proud to stand with him and campaign for him and vote for him," he responded.
