<p>Expressing his ongoing and mounting frustration with his own Party, Sen. Jon Fetterman (D-Pa) says that the Democrats response to the war with Iran has been “disappointing.”</p>



<p>The outspoken Senator also “marveled” that it appears at times that some Democrats are even “rooting” for Iran because of their aversion to President Trump.</p>



<p>“It seems like people are almost rooting for Iran. It’s crazy,” Fetterman told video journalist Nicholas Ballasy in a recent interview. “So my party has been very disappointing, the way they’ve chosen to respond.”</p>



<p>Fetterman singled out Graham Platner, the Senate Democratic candidate in Maine, for comments he made in 2014 from a now-deleted Reddit profile responding to video of a Hamas raid on Israeli soldiers.</p>



<p>Platner wrote in the Reddit forum in 2014 that it looked “like an all around well executed and successful small unit raid to me,” ;according to JewishInsider.com.</p>



<p>Fetterman pointed to those comments to underscore his criticism of Democrats’ response to the war with Iran.</p>



<p>“You know, like Platner in Maine,” Fetterman said. “You know, he said, ‘I dig it,’ you know, in a video where Hamas was beating and torturing Israeli soldiers to death. ‘I dig it.’”</p>



<p>“That’s the kind of what our party’s becoming. It’s been incredibly disappointing,” ;Fetterman said.</p>



<p>Fetterman has been the only Democrat in the Senate to consistently vote against a war powers resolution to prohibit Trump from continuing military hostilities against Iran.</p>



<p>He also voted against two resolutions sponsored by Sen. ;Bernie Sanders ;(I-Vt.) last week to block the sales of bulldozers and 1,000-lb bombs to Israel’s military.</p>



<p>Forty Senate Democrats voted for the resolution to bar the sale of $295 million in bulldozers to Israel and 36 Democrats voted for the resolution to block the sale of $1.2 million in heavy bombs.</p>
