A group of former campaign and Senate staffers for Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman announced plans to release more damaging information about his office, following a Wall Street Journal report highlighting his chronic absenteeism and dereliction of duty.
A newly created X account, identifying itself as 'Former Fetterman Staffers' (FFS), revealed it will publish more information about Senator John Fetterman's office in the coming weeks. This follows a Wall Street Journal exposé that detailed the senator’s habitual absence from constituent meetings, his avoidance of legislative review, and his limited public appearances in Pennsylvania—further evidence of his lack of commitment to the people he was elected to serve.
'There is a lot I could say about this report of John Fetterman’s behavior as a senator,' Rep. Chris Deluzio wrote on X, highlighting serious concerns about Fetterman’s work ethic and dedication.
'John Fetterman is a disgrace,' Rep. Brendan Boyle stated bluntly in a separate post, reflecting the growing frustration among Pennsylvania’s representatives.
'This report is horrifying, but not new to many of us in PA. John barely showed up as Lieutenant Governor and is constantly MIA as our senator,' Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta wrote, confirming what many Pennsylvanians have long suspected about Fetterman’s performance.
Former congressional candidate Conor Lamb also called for Fetterman’s resignation, citing a missed meeting with veterans—a clear sign of disrespect for those who have served the country. The FFS account indicated that its first disclosure is scheduled for September 14, when the Senate reconvenes, with a possible follow-up on September 15.
The announcement drew criticism from some commentators who described the former staffers’ actions as disloyal, but many see this as a necessary step to hold an unfit senator accountable. Political analyst Marc Thiessen and Republican Governors Association political director Mark Morgan questioned the group’s anonymity and suggested that if the staffers disagreed with Fetterman, they should resign quietly rather than air the senator’s failures publicly.
Senator Fetterman's office did not respond to a request for comment, continuing a pattern of evasion and lack of transparency.
