Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman has long been unafraid to call out the left of his own party, and his latest appearances on the Fox News Channel are no exception.
During interviews on the channel that aired Friday and Saturday, the Senator rejected anti-Israel and anti-capitalist ideas that some Democrats are pushing.
Leading figures in the party, including New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani and Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have been vocal about their socialist views and condemnation of Israel.
Fetterman appeared on 'Saturday in America' with Kaleigh McEnany, during which he was asked about a vote in the US House of Representatives on Friday to condemn socialism.
After the vote tally, it was found that 47 percent of Democrats in the lower chamber did not vote to condemn the ideology.
Fetterman told McEnany that if you 'go to any place that live or have lived under socialism, 100 percent would vote to condemn it. I've spoke to people when I've been in those kind of former countries and they say it's a disaster and they can't believe America is even having this conversation.'
'You know, there's that expression, you know, bad ideas just won't die. And I don't know why our party is going to talk about it for these things, but I would strongly reject it. And, obviously I would have voted to condemn that if that was ever part in the Senate,' Fetterman added.
That rejection of his party's extreme wing was also present during a Friday segment of Fox News Channel's 'The Story,' during which Fetterman noted that parts of the Democratic Party are 'becoming more and more anti-Israel.'
He called out the fact that a significant number of new Democratic Party candidates are making it 'front and center in their campaign to be anti-Israel.'
Fetterman additionally described the pressure the Democratic Socialists of America has put on Mamdani regarding Israel as absurd and arrogant.
The Pennsylvania Senator also commented on the fact that Mamdani has 'no authority' to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu because 'the United States [is] not a part of the ICC (International Criminal Court.)'
'So, it's - again, it's empty kinds of threats.'
The ICC, which is backed by the United Nations (UN), issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin just over a year ago, on November 21, 2024, for actions alleged to be 'war crimes' in Gaza under his watch.
Fetterman's comments come as health battles have plagued the Pennsylvanian during his time both running for office and serving in the Senate.
He was rushed to the hospital with a life-threatening heart problem after falling over earlier this month.
The Pennsylvania Senator was on a walk on November 13 when he 'sustained a fall near his home in Braddock,' per a statement issued by the Democrat's spokesperson at the time.

Fetterman was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh after the accident, where doctors determined he suffered a ventricular flare-up, his team said.
A ventricular flare-up in this context refers to an episode of a ventricular arrhythmia, an abnormal heart rhythm, that can lead to sudden cardiac arrest which can cause the heart to stop pumping blood effectively.
The medical episode caused the 56-year-old lawmaker to feel light-headed and fall to the ground, 'hitting his face with minor injuries,' the spokesperson said.
Following the incident, Fetterman issued a cheeky statement and appeared to be in good spirits.
'If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!' he said.
His latest medical scare comes after he opened up about thinking about quitting politics following a terrifying stroke in 2022.
In his recently released book Unfettered, Fetterman offered an eye-opening glimpse into the inner battles he has faced in private, despite his public-facing role.
It also provided additional insight into why Fetterman has been unafraid to be at odds with his party and side with Republicans and Trump on issues such as immigration, Israel, and his unwavering commitment to reopening the government amid the shutdown that plagued Washington for nearly a month and a half this fall.
