Condemned
Statement summary
Sen. John Fetterman, speaking on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures," said Mamdani had "no way" to arrest Netanyahu, noted that the United States is not part of the International Criminal Court, and called Mamdani "just a clown" for suggesting it. He told the mayor to focus on New York's problems.
“Well, it's such a tough guy to say that kind of thing. He has no way to do that. Obviously, America's not even part of that corrupt court, and so he's just a clown to even say that. So he won't try that. And now, just sit down and focus on the problems that they have in New York. That's really not your purview.”
