Dem senator lashes out at Green Party constituents after colleague booted in tight race
Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman took to X on Thursday evening to lash out at thousands of his own constituents who voted for the Green Party candidate in the state's tight Senate race.
The race between incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) and Republican challenger Dave McCormick was called Thursday in favor of McCormick, though Casey has said he will wait to concede until every vote is counted. McCormick was leading by about 34,000 votes.
The narrow margin was not lost on Fetterman, who took to X to publicly air out his grievance.

"Pennsylvania is going to count every last vote," he said. "That’s not controversial—that’s the law. Also, Green dips---s’ votes helping elect the GOP."
Attached to his post was a screenshot of Green Party candidate Leila Hazou taking just under 1 percent of the vote with about 64,000 ballots cast for her.
The post garnered responses from numerous right-wing blue-check accounts, including X owner Elon Musk, who took the opportunity to jab the senator.
"Calling Green voters 'dips---s' is not a great way to win them over," replied Musk.
