Two staffers are leaving for more progressive political jobs. Fetterman has recently made a big deal of denouncing that ever-nebulous political label.

Clout learns there’s been some serious turnover in Sen. John Fetterman’s office. In the last month, all three of Fetterman’s top communications staffers have left Capitol Hill.

    I have been saying from the start that this dude is a silver spoon baby, playing the role of the every man. “look I wear a hoodie, cause I can’t be bothered to show respect for my job” and I’m supposed to cheer his wealthy ass? Anyways I’m not surprised that he’s not who even his volunteers thought he was.

    He made his money as a corporate stooge in the insurance industry, in surprised people bought into his shit

      For two years Fetterman worked in Pittsburgh as a risk-management underwriter for Chubb.[15]

      While Fetterman was studying at UConn, his best friend died in a car accident; this impacted Fetterman’s life and career.[16] After his friend’s death, Fetterman joined Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, pairing with an eight-year-old boy in New Haven, Connecticut, whose father had died from AIDS and whose mother was slowly dying from the disease.[17] During his time as a Big Brother, Fetterman says he became “preoccupied with the concept of the random lottery of birth”, and promised the boy’s mother he would continue to look out for her son after she was gone.[18]

      In 1995, Fetterman joined the recently founded AmeriCorps, and was sent to teach Pittsburgh students pursuing their GEDs.[19] He later attended Harvard Kennedy School at Harvard University, graduating in 1999 with a Master of Public Policy degree.[20]

      So… 2 years at an insurance company is a “corporate stooge” to you? And AmeriCorps and a Harvard MPP is… nepotism?
