The Democrats have been having a civil war over the past week over the stopgap spending continuing resolution (CR) that ultimately passed in the Senate. Some in the House -- such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) -- have been screaming at the folks in the Senate who voted for the CR, including Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), claiming they felt a "deep sense of betrayal" by the Senate Democrats. They even levied a transparent threat at Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), urging AOC to primary him if he didn't flip against the CR as they wanted.
Fetterman's response to AOC was classic, as we wrote, and it wasn't pretty. “I hope you can relay how little I care about her views on this,” he replied. He also implied she didn't have to care about whether there was a shutdown, if they didn't pass the CR because she would still "have her paycheck though."

Then CNN's Jake Tapper asked Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) Sunday's "State of the Union" show about Fetterman's criticism over "undignified antics and a sad calvalcade of self-owns" like the "Choose your Fighter" video. Crockett was one of the women in that silly video. Tapper opined that her punching looked better than some of her colleagues. She didn't actually punch (great reporting there, Jake) but yes, she did look a little better.
"He's not the one to talk about anything,” Crockett retorted, then sniped with a catty, personal insult:
I mean this is a guy who seemingly doesn't want to own a suit, doesn't own a suit. I'm not really sure. But I don't show up in hoodies when I'm going on the floor.
Crockett attempted to explain away the video as showing they were "real people," and that they can laugh especially when they're doing "more crying" lately. The video didn't show you were real -- it showed you were fake, and not focused on the things that are important to the American people.
Crockett then went back to slamming Fetterman:
Just know, we were not on the House floor jumping around at all, whereas Senator Fetterman is consistently walking around the Senate chamber, and he is walking around in such a way that they literally had to change the rules in the Senate so that he could walk around that way. So I just don't think he's necessarily the one to have an opinion on this.
Meow. Yes, Fetterman should wear a suit. But at least he has a modicum of sense on some issues. One can't say the same about Crockett. She didn't even have the sense to know how bad that video she was in would be perceived.
But at this point, the American people's opinion of the Democrats is hitting historic lows.
