Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman stands out as one of the few rational Democrats left in the party. As he observes the growing influence of socialists within his ranks—whom he has openly criticized—Fetterman demonstrates his willingness to speak his mind and hold his party accountable when they are in the wrong.
He is doing so again, this time addressing the concept of a ‘constitutional crisis.’ Fetterman argues that it is not President Trump who is causing the issues, but rather left-wing commies like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Democrat Senator John Fetterman says he has not seen Donald Trump cause a Constitution crisis, but Fetterman says that when he heard Zohran Mamdani say he would defy the Supreme Court on the temporary protected status of Haitians, “That’s a Constitutional crisis”

“People might remember just in the spring of 2025, now there were a lot of people that were convinced we were in the middle of a Constitutional crisis, and I described to the media and other people … well, actually, what a real Constitutional crisis is then if the president defies a court ruling, whether a court or definitely the Supreme Court,” Fetterman told Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany.
“That, by definition, that would be a Constitutional crisis. And I said we’ve not seen one, and I honestly don’t expect one,” he continued.
“And as far as I know, the Trump administration has not defied any of those court rulings,” Fetterman continued, “and now there was a meltdown and a lot of the Left media was angry at me for just describing those circumstances.
“But I haven’t seen the freak out now that the Mayor of New York is saying that I’m going to defy the Supreme Court ruling, and many of the members in my party are not calling him out, or defend him, or just say, we really actually have to follow the court rulings, unless that’s a Constitutional crisis,” he said.
“When you have the leader of the country’s largest city now we’re not going to follow or honor what the Supreme Court says,” Fetterman said.
Mamdani has made it crystal clear that he will defy the Supreme Court’s ruling upholding President Trump’s authority to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians and Syrians, many of whom have lived in the U.S. under the temporary status for a decade or more.
“We saw today the Supreme Court make a decision that is putting so many people’s lives in jeopardy,” Mamdani said in a video statement. “And I just came back from a rally with 1199 as I stood alongside a number of Haitian New Yorkers who are concerned about what this means for their status in our city. And, frankly, this city … is one that that has been built by so many from so many different parts of the world.
“We stand here ready to be in solidarity with all of those who are concerned by today’s decision. And beyond just language of solidarity, actions of solidarity,” Mamdani continued.
“Now what that means when it comes to our city, is if you are worried about what this means for your status, if you’re worried about what this means for your family, I would encourage you to call our Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs hotline.”
So, the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution is in play, here, as well as the fact that the highest court in the land has issued a ruling. They expect it to be followed, and so does Trump. If Mamdani thinks he’s going to defy both the high court and Trump, I’m thinking I should grab some popcorn for when he gets perp-walked to a federal detention facility after he gets arrested for sedition.
