Senator’s First Steps on Truth Social
Senator Fetterman entered the limelight on Donald Trump’s Truth Social by advocating for a pardon for Trump concerning his New York hush money case. This unprecedented move saw Fetterman lambast both the Trump’s legal predicaments and those of Hunter Biden as examples of “weaponized justice”. In his debut post, Fetterman also emphasized that using legal systems for partisan warfare only foments division and reduces the public’s faith in their integrity.
Fetterman’s leap to Truth Social is part of a strategic maneuver to engage demographics typically out of reach for Democrats. This debut was met warmly, drawing over 10,000 likes and numerous supportive comments.

Taking a Stand on “The View”
The senator didn’t just stop at Truth Social. He took to ABC’s “The View” to further his rhetoric, backing up his call with a sentiment that pardons for politically motivated cases are, indeed, justified. Fetterman highlighted the recent Hunter Biden charges as proof of the judicial system’s misuse. It’s not merely about defending Trump’s specific actions; it’s about defending the tenets of impartial justice from being molested by political gamesmanship.
Fetterman isn’t alone in this thinking. Rep. Dean Phillips also urged New York’s Governor, Kathy Hochul, to consider a pardon for Trump. Yet, given the tumultuous relationship between Hochul and Trump, such an outcome remains unlikely.
Pardons and Presidential Precedents
Interestingly, Fetterman’s big step comes amid President Joe Biden’s recent pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, for federal charges. This act raises questions of fairness and double standards in the American justice system. It underscores a comparison to Trump’s legal battles, used by his attorneys as precedence to call for dismissals of charges based on alleged political motivations.

Fetterman’s maneuvers signal a tactical expansion, reaching out and building dialogues with various constituencies through platforms like Bluesky as well. His drama is far from over, evolving as he continues to challenge the status quo and provoke dialogue over the ethical use of justice for political ends.
