Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) lashed out at Democratic strategist James Carville after he criticized President Joe Biden.
In an interview with Politico, Fetterman spoke about the members of his caucus who disagreed with his support for Israel.
"I mean, of course, I expected that there will always be a diversity of opinions, and that as long as things go that the Democratic caucus might splinter more," he remarked. "I would be the last man standing to be absolutely there on the Israeli side on this with no conditions."
"I grieve, and it's awful the incredible civilian deaths and the suffering," he said of victims in Gaza. "It's awful. War is hell, as they say. But only one side has used civilians as human shields. Only one side has broken the cease-fires. Only one side will systematically rape, torture, and mutilate Israeli women and girls in the most unspeakable, awful ways.
"… Without destroying Hamas, there will be no enduring peace and a stable, two-state solution."
Fetterman also talked about his support for Biden.

"All I do know is that the president will win Pennsylvania. And I do believe if he wins Pennsylvania, and I believe he will, he will be a second-term president," he explained.
Politico noted that Donald Trump had pulled ahead in some polls. Fetterman used the opportunity to slam Carville who warned earlier in the year that Biden's candidacy was putting a Democratic victory at risk.
"I'm not worried about that. And I'm very vocal about this, too, while there are Democrats that are being very critical about the president," he opined.
"I'll use this [as] another opportunity to tell James Carville to shut the f--k up. Like I said, my man hasn't been relevant since grunge was a thing. And I don't know why he believes it's helpful to say these kinds of things about an incredibly difficult circumstance with an incredibly strong and decent and excellent president. I'll never understand that."
Carville responded: "I'm glad he's feeling better."
