Fetterman spokeswoman reamed for reportedly contradicting boss on Israel: 'Unparalleled hubris'
The spokeswoman for Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman dissented from her own boss’ position on the Israel-Gaza conflict after a reporter held an interview with the junior Democrat.
The Free Press reported Sunday that Carrie Adams told him of her disagreement after the senator hung up the call.
“I don’t agree with him,” Adams, the lawmaker’s communications director, reportedly said.
Adams went on to claim that Fetterman, at 55, has “less nuanced” views on global policy than people her age.

“[W]hen he was growing up, it was might-makes-right, and for my generation and younger who, of course, are the ones protesting this, they have a much more nuanced view of the region.”
The Free Press report went on to express incredulity at the idea that a spokesperson for a “principal” would openly differ from that principal, whether the conversation was on-the-record or not.
Fox News Digital reached out to Fetterman’s office for comment and to inquire whether Adams stood by her remarks.
A woman who picked up the phone at Fetterman’s Capitol Hill office responded by offering a second telephone number and email for another representative. Efforts to reach another representative were unsuccessful at press time.
However, the reported exchange led to stunned responses from the political world.
PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS RALLY AROUND BIDEN AMID SHAPIRO SPECULATION
Republican communications strategist Erin Perrine wrote that it is a “big deal” to have a staffer criticize the person they are working for.
“But when the person whose job it is to speak for the boss, defend their decisions, and manage the press does it — That’s an unparalleled level of hubris,” Perrine said on X.
“Always remember whose name is on the door.”
On the left, Democratic strategist Symone Sanders-Townsend wrote that Adams “should be employed after this because WTF?”
“Not saying I disagree with her viewpoint. Rather. Since when does the comms director call up reporters to say ‘I disagree’ with the principal?” said Sanders-Townsend, who previously served in a similar role with the 2016 campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.
Meanwhile, New York Post columnist John Podhoretz flagged that Adams’ X feed is currently private, following the fallout.
“She’s a communications director. Whom you cannot reach. Or read,” Podhoretz said.
For his part, Fetterman has notably bucked his party on the issue, saying in a statement on his official website that he “fully support[s] Israel neutralizing the terrorists responsible for this barbarism.”
“We now know this was a wide-scale, premeditated, cowardly, terrorist campaign against Israeli civilians that also claimed the lives of American citizens.

“I unequivocally support any necessary military, intelligence, and humanitarian aid to Israel. The United States has a moral obligation to be in lockstep with our ally as they confront this threat.”
He also welcomed the idea of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaking before Congress, as he did earlier this summer.
While visiting Jerusalem in June, Fetterman said there is a “reckoning necessary in the political left with antisemitism…”
In comments in June as well, Fetterman decried the “unending capitulation and sandbagging of Israel.”
The senator’s home in the industrial Pittsburgh suburb of Braddock has been the site of protests, as well as his Philadelphia office, where pro-cease-fire demonstrators hold “Fridays at Fetterman’s.”

Independents sue to open Pennsylvania’s primary elections – AOL
HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — More than 1.5 million Pennsylvanians won’t be able to vote on May 19 because of the state’s closed primary elections.
The state is an outlier, as 42 other states and D.C. have open primaries, which means voters don’t need to affiliate with a political party ahead of the election to vote. Lawmakers have been pushing for reform since at least 1995, but so far none have successfully changed the law.

The issue has support from Democrats and Republicans. But now a group of independents has filed a lawsuit asking a Pennsylvania court to force them into the primaries.
John Jones, a former federal judge, cited the “free and fair elections” in Pennsylvania’s Constitution for grounds to open the state’s primary elections.
“Emphasis on the word fair,” he said. Jones and political scientists argue too many elections are decided on primary day, rather than Election Day in November.
“You look statistically in elections from 2020 to 2025, in the state legislature, for example, only about 10% of those elections were actually really contested,” he said.

Not everyone is open to open primaries. Republican strategist Chris Nicholas said if voters don’t care to be a part of a party, they shouldn’t get a say in the primary.
“Imagine if you’re a member of the Elks Lodge, and you work all year to make the Elks Lodge the best it can be,” he said. “Then on Election Day, you let those folks from the Moose Lodge in, and they come in for one hour, vote in your elections and leave, never to come back again.”
