‘Blue Collar’ John Fetterman Lived Off Parents’ Money Until He Was Nearly 50

John Fetterman likes to play up his “everyman” persona on the campaign trail, but a closer look at Fetterman’s life revealed that the guy known for his hoodie and gym shorts lived off of his parents’ income until he was nearly 50 years old.

Philadelphia Inquirer: “Public records show — and Fetterman has openly acknowledged — that for a long stretch lasting well into his 40s, his main source of income came from his parents, who gave him and his family $54,000 in 2015 alone. The aid was part of the financial support his parents regularly provided when Fetterman’s only paying work was $150 a month as mayor of Braddock, a job he held from his mid-30s until he turned 49. He lived in an industrial-style loft he purchased from his sister for $1 after she had paid $70,000 six years earlier.”

Newsflash: The average Pennsylvanian doesn’t get the luxury of being bankrolled by family money just so they can chase a political career.

Despite his rhetoric, John Fetterman has no clue about the everyday struggles hardworking people face across the Keystone State.
