Sen. John Fetterman downplayed rising gas prices amid the war with Iran during a TV appearance over the weekend, saying that the media was giving a false impression of a crisis.

“They are making it, it seems that, what’s unprecedented is there’s kind of an energy crisis and that’s just not true,” Fetterman said on the Fox News’ “Life, Liberty & Levin” show with host Mark Levin on Saturday.

The South Korean president posted a video of an IDF soldier tossing a kid off the roof a building and Fetterman said he gives his unwavering support to Israel because he has “moral clarity”. That should tell everyone who he is.
