During a CNN interview on Wednesday, Democratic Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman remained silent for a duration of twelve seconds following a question posed by host Dana Bash. Fetterman chose not to respond when Bash inquired about President Joe Biden’s executive order regarding new asylum requests after daily migrant crossings surpassed 2,500. Bash had to repeat her question in an attempt to prompt a response from Fetterman.
“Thank you so much for being here, sir. The first question is about the president’s border executive action. Was that the right approach?” Bash asked, followed by the silence.
“Senator, the president’s border executive action. Was that the right approach?” she repeated.
“Well, it’s been very clear that the Republicans are playing politics on the border and I voted twice now for the bipartisan border deal,” Fetterman replied. “I was disappointed, but I was also very open to having an ongoing dialogue to enact more and more, perhaps even more strict kinds of border kinds of issues as well too, closer to H.R. 2. But now that the Republicans don’t want to have that conversation, now the president was forced to do that and anything that makes our border more safe is a good thing that’s happened.”
