Senator John Fetterman, a Democrat from Pennsylvania and an alumnus of Harvard, expressed his disconnection with his alma mater in a conversation with @daveweigel. Fetterman remarked that while Harvard was 'always a little pinko' during his time there, which was 25 years ago, the institution has now changed to a point where he no longer recognizes it. His use of the term 'pinko' has led some social media users to comment on an apparent shift in Fetterman's political tone, with references to him turning into a 'Goldwater Republican,' a notable contrast to his campaign persona.

Fetterman calling Harvard a school filled with communists is just beautiful. You can’t write this stuff. He even used the word pinko. Seriously, what changed because this is not the same guy from the campaign? https://t.co/zl2mZZbb6r
