This all started from a Twitter account with 30 Twitter followers, was passed to a former contestant (who has since deleted their account), who wrote a Medium letter (With 28 subscribers.), and now it's turned into this.
He now is forced to deny any white power ties and issue an apology.. Because a majority of news outlets are labeling him a white supremacist because of one Twitter account with 30 followers.

The opposite is actually happening. The right was calling out the lack of media coverage on Fetterman while he was running and babbling nonsensically through a debate.
The right isn't *defending* John Fetterman. We're just asking about the curious, sudden timing, and neither Chait nor anyone else can answer how he's changed from 2022, to now.
It's about Israel, and EVERYONE knows it. Chait and the media are the ones who have to explain why they didn't cover his health back then, but are so eager to do so now.
All they have to do, Kara Swisher in particular, is answer what's the difference between John Fetterman from 2 years ago, and John Fetterman now.
They won't do it.
No one on the right is actually saying, "John Fetterman is sharp and fit behind closed doors."
We're just noticing the obvious hit job against him.
Federal employees being completely lost in the dark policy-wise without being informed by whatever Politico is publishing is the tell of all tells here.
"How will federal agencies direct policy without Politico's invaluable directions?"
So we're clear here, this is a progressive journalist admitting that they believe their job is to shape how policymakers think in federal agencies, on things like abortion, climate, etc.. and without them, these employees would be lost in the woods.
Here are the two different 60 Minutes edits layered on top of each other in full. You will hear where Whitaker's questions line up, and the different edited answers from Harris.
SC 1842 (bottom) is what aired on Monday night.
SC 1843.5 (top) is what the Face the Nation X account previewed on October 6th.
Besides inserting a different response from Harris, CBS edited out everything about Harris defending Israel from Hamas and Hezbollah and their right to do so.
The tracks time up almost exactly. This was not "edited for time" as CBS and 60 Minutes will likely claim.
The WSJ piece on "We need to talk about Grandpa" turned the country and media into a family.
88% of the country is the family member going "Guys, we need to talk about him. He's confusing the living room lamp with a friend he knew who died in 1985. We need to put him in a home where he will be cared for"
And the Democrats, and his wife and media are going - "Just leave him be. If talking to the lamp makes him happy in his final years, who are we to judge. He's fine."
The lamp just happens top be the nuclear football.
An entire national media in damage control telling you that "Grandpa is fine. We don't need to have that talk." when even they know the truth.
We're all just basically fighting over the Last Will of the country at this point.
