John Fetterman has an opinion on PA Supreme Court's Justice who bailed on Democratics over their Jew-hatred

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman is once again proving he's the only Democrat in Washington with even a faint pulse of sanity. After a longtime Pennsylvania Supreme Court justice ditched the Democratic Party because of its raging antisemitism issues, Fetterman stepped up with some refreshingly honest words.

"As I’ve affirmed, I’m not changing my party, but I fully understand David’s personal choice," Sen. John Fetterman (D-Believe it or Not) noted.

The justice in question is David Wecht, who dropped the bombshell that he's no longer registered with any political party. Wecht, who ran as a Democrat back in 2015, laid it out plainly in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital. The party he once helped lead has gone full downhill.

"From 1998 to 2001, years that preceded my judicial career, I served as Vice-Chair of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. In the quarter century that has passed since then, the Democratic Party has changed. Nazi tattoos, jihadist chants, intimidation and attacks at synagogues, and other hateful anti-Jewish invective and actions are minimized, ignored, and even coddled. Acquiescence to Jew-hatred is now disturbingly common among activists, leaders and even many elected officials in the Democratic Party," he wrote.

Wecht didn't stop there.

"I can no longer abide this. So, I won’t. I am no longer registered within any political party," he declared. "It is my hope that Pennsylvanians, and Americans, of all viewpoints and backgrounds will oppose and resist the scourge of Jew-hatred before it undermines what our ancestors have built here."

This is the same guy who has been on the state's highest court since 2016 and was retained in the 2025 election. Now he's walking away from the modern Democratic clown show that treats antisemitism like just another quirky policy disagreement.

Fetterman, who has been out here calling out his own party's unhinged Trump Derangement Syndrome on Bill Maher's podcast and generally acting like a normal human being, responded on X like this:

"I know David and his legendary father, Cyril. As I’ve affirmed, I’m not changing my party, but I fully understand David’s personal choice."

Look, Fetterman isn't bolting the Democrats anytime soon, but the guy keeps dropping these common-sense takes that make the rest of his party look like the radicals they are. Joe Concha over at Fox News nailed it when he pointed out that Fetterman is basically an outlier in today's Democratic Party, which has mainstreamed hatred that would have been unthinkable not that long ago.

The Pennsylvania Democratic Party had no immediate comment when Fox News Digital came calling. Shocking, I know.
