The Pennsylvania Democrat laid out a red line that would cause him to quit his party, although he didn’t say whether he would become an independent or a Republican.
As soon as he was elected he stopped appearing to be progressive because he either fired his election staff or they quit when they realized who he really was.
Before he was a senator he was a mayor of a small town in the middle of PA and held a black man at gunpoint because the man was going for a run in the town he was mayor of.
No need to rewrite history to fit the current narrative: as mayor, he was rather left leaning, even though he used questionable tactics. The problem is when you go to Washington, a lot more money is involved. He’s just easy to corrupt.
He was never with the left. He succeeded where Platner failed: using the desperation for left wing politics to advance right wing causes
He only ever appeared left because he hired a bunch of young people to run his campaign.

He’s always been a piece of shit.
