Pennsylvania’s Democratic Sen. John Fetterman admitted on Thursday that his family appreciated President Donald Trump’s support for his recent rhetoric blasting calls to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Fetterman is known for breaking with his party on controversial issues like immigration, Israel, Iran and Ukraine. He also helped confirm several of Trump’s Cabinet nominees and has met with Trump multiple times to find common ground.
The senator most recently condemned members of his party for calling to abolish ICE, stating that it was “inappropriate and outrageous” to call for its end.
Trump praised the rhetoric in a comment at the White House, where he was meeting with African leaders.
“The new John Fetterman is exactly what you said,” Trump replied. “He’s right. He’s right. And we have to protect our police officers, and we will, and we have been.”
Fetterman told the Daily Mail that the praise “probably made my parents proud.”
“They’re big Fox News viewers,” Fetterman said. “My whole family is Republican.”
