John Fetterman blasts Drop Site News over support for Hamas and Iran

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., had a fiery exchange Wednesday with a reporter from the anti-Israel outlet Drop Site News, accusing the outlet of loving Iran and terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.

In a video shared by Drop Site’s Capitol Hill reporter Julian Andreone, Fetterman appeared amused when the reporter told him which outlet he represented.

“Oh, you’re Drop Site,” Fetterman reacted as he kept walking.

“It’s like a race between who’s the more pro-Hamas — Drop Site or Zeteo,” he quipped, referring to the far-left outlet founded by former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan.

Fetterman, the most outspoken supporter of Israel among Senate Democrats, had a message for Drop Site viewers.

“I want your viewers to see how much I love to watch Israel eliminating the Hamas leadership,” he told Andreone. “I know that upsets a lot of your viewers and a lot of your founders. But I think it’s a great thing.”

“So there’s no news coming out of me. I’m going to always back Israel,” Fetterman continued. “The question is, where does your trash outlet come from and who’s funding it?”

Andreone pushed back, saying the site’s readers fund the outlet, citing “46,000 individual donors.”

Fetterman took aim at Drop Site News co-founder Jeremy Scahill, who went viral earlier this month for lambasting Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., over whether the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7 was justified.

“Your founders think it’s appropriate to attack and kill Israeli civilians. That’s really — that should be the news overall,” Fetterman said. “Now you’re sticking a microphone in my face… I think the question is why does Drop Site love Hamas and Iran and Hezbollah so much? I think that’s the news.”

“I mean, are you OK with taking your paycheck from these kind of people?” he then asked the reporter.

As Andreone attempted to ask Fetterman whether he was “OK” with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu being in the United States, Fetterman replied, “I’m OK,” and added, “I love killing Hamas leadership” before the elevator doors closed.

Drop Site News did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Fetterman had a separate exchange Wednesday with a Zeteo reporter, where he labeled the outlet “pro-Hamas” while speaking with one of its reporters. 

Hasan referred to Fetterman, who is reviled by anti-Israel figures for his staunch support of the Jewish state, as a “broken-brained, racist Democrat” in an X post about him meeting with Netanyahu.
