Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) praised his colleague Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) during an interview this week, stating the Pennsylvania lawmaker has “come a long way” and is the “only” Democrat in the upper chamber “speaking common sense.”

“John Fetterman has come a long way. He’s had all kind of health issues since he got here, but I’ll tell you what, he is the only leader out there that’s speaking common sense,” Tuberville said during a Thursday appearance on Newsmax.

Fetterman warned his Democratic colleagues that if not enough of them supported the Republican-crafted continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government through September, the shutdown would throw the country “into chaos” and risk sending the U.S. into a recession.........
