The 55-year-old’s decision drew mixed responses from netizens, with Kennedy’s former running mate, Nicole Shanahan, calling Fetterman a “lazy slob.” Meanwhile, several others criticised him for turning down Kennedy and Gabbard when he voted in favour of Pam Bondi. “Why are you voting no on RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard when you voted yes on Pam Bondi?” Ian Jaeger wrote on X.

“Fetterman toys with the ideal of being a strong American Man, but he is a lazy slob who can’t get to the gym in spite of wearing gym clothes all day long. I do not expect someone who can’t manage to dress themself to make good decisions, let alone those as important as the health of a nation,” Shanahan wrote on X.
Fetterman was the only Democrat, who voted in favour of Bondi’s confirmation as Attorney General. He was also one of the two Democrats to support the confirmation of Scott Turner as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
