We don't allow editorialized headlines, the original is bad enough:
"Fetterman Stood Up Paralyzed Veterans to Advocate for Israel on Fox"
Correct it or we'll remove the post.

Just resign you lame chode
What? No, fetterman died of a fatal stroke a few years ago.
They couldn't have picked a less ironic verb for that headline?
I kinda thought it was clever.
Right? I was really curious what kind of snake healing was going on for these paralyzed people to stand lol
Just imagine that you’re one of the few still-employed copy editors in 2026.
You get your kicks where you can.
;)
Walked out on?
Walked out implies he was there and left. Getting stood up implies he never showed up in the first place.
At first I thought this was like some televangelist type shit where he’s pulling them up out of their wheelchairs and healing them in the name of Israel.
Who knew brain damage turned you republican….
I thought it was well known.... At least to non-Republicans
It's not a requirement, but it certainly helps!
This guy is nothing but a trash can
I saw fettterman was a piece of shit from day one, when I read he supports fracking with no conditions. The Intercept fucking said it well before the election.
If you though fetterman was a good guy, you trust the wrong people.
The Intercept will steer you right by the way.
He needs to ask for pro-Israel talking points from their ambassador?
Why? If he's pro-Israel, surely he himself can come up with some reason as to why they're good, according to him. Right?
Right??
"Please send me talking points wrapped in hundred dollar bills"
At this point he, and the republicans, need to be investigated for treason to the USA
Controlled opposition went too rogue.
