John Fetterman (D-PA) has never been one to hold back, and he proved it again during the government shutdown.

The remark was so vile it left CNN\u2019s Dana Bash visibly stunned, shaking her head at the sheer nastiness of it.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman said he couldn\u2019t understand where that kind of hate comes from \u2014 but he made one thing clear: it\u2019s not going to silence him. He\u2019s going to keep speaking his mind, no matter how much it infuriates the radicals in his own party.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman didn\u2019t hold back in his book, revealing that he had a heated falling-out with Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro \u2014 one so bad that their relationship has \u201cnever recovered.\u201d The clash happened while both served on the state\u2019s Board of Pardons. During a Zoom meeting, the two sparred over commuting prison sentences, and things quickly went off the rails.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman, furious, ended up calling Shapiro a \u201cf\u2014ing a\u2014hole\u201d \u2014 not realizing his mic was still on.
