Fetterman attended retreat with Fox News executives in Montana
Democratic Sen. John Fetterman (Pa.), who has been known to buck his party, attended a retreat in Montana featuring key figures at Fox News, according to a new report published Tuesday.
Per the Washington Examiner, the Pennsylvania senator went to the retreat alongside Fox News executives in the Treasure State two months ago, being invited to the event by the owners of the network.
The retreat, which happened in mid-July, took place at the ranch of the Murdoch family, one of the most powerful families in the media industry, the Examiner reported. Lachlan Murdoch, one of the family members, is the CEO of Fox News’s parent company.
Fetterman, according to the Examiner, headlined a social media-focused panel alongside Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) during the retreat. The Pennsylvania senator — in addition to three other sources — told the Examiner of his presence at the retreat.
“I was invited to go there,” he said Tuesday, per the Examiner.
Fetterman, who has rubbed fellow Democrats the wrong way in recent years, on Tuesday again emphasized that he would not become a Republican in the wake of his video appearance at the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) first-ever midterm convention in Dallas last week.
When asked by a Capitol Hill reporter if there was a possibility he would cross the aisle, Fetterman seemed frustrated.
“I’m not going to be a Republican. Why can’t you guys just wait till the midterms? And if I turn a Republican, then I’ll be a liar,” he said. “My name is not on the ballot. Chill.”
Fetterman’s Democratic colleagues expressed discontent with him after a video he made introducing his fellow Pennsylvania Sen. Dave McCormick (R) at the RNC convention.
The Pennsylvania Democrat has also recently gone after the left flank of his party, including democratic socialists and those who have voiced opposition to U.S. support of Israel.
The Hill has reached out to Fox News and Fetterman’s office for comment.
