Fetterman Does the Unthinkable in Washington: Show Contrition

During Dr. Anthony Fauci’s appearance on Wednesday before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, we witnessed one of the most astonishing things we’ve seen recently in Washington, D.C.—perhaps in decades.

No, it was not the smug and cowardly Fauci pleading the Fifth 111 times. Washington does smug and cowardly the way Ocean City does suntan lotion.

It was not Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., methodically working his way through Fauci’s countless deadly contradictions between his public statements and private musings. Paul’s had Fauci’s number almost since the days of the Rolodex.

It was not Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, dropping coarse language the way Caitlin Clark drops 3-pointers. It certainly wasn’t a string of Democrat senators loving on Fauci almost as much as he loves himself.

It was the brief statement of Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa. Bucking his own party (again), and bucking the theatrics of the day, Fetterman, in his slow, halting way, did something almost unimaginable in politics. He showed contrition.

True, Fetterman, thanks to his stroke, is still sometimes harder to follow than a James Joyce novel. But through his heart and his tone, Fetterman made his meaning clear: I question my own actions and those of Pennsylvania during COVID and failed the public by putting partisanship over the people.
