John Fetterman has been running a very solid campaign based on policy promises and remedies. The very simple idea is that Fetterman wants Pennsylvanians to consider voting for him to become their next senator. He is hoping that the ideas he puts forth and policy promises he makes will appeal to voters. He has the added bonus of having a great social media team. He has the double added bonus of running against television diet pill-pusher Mehmet Oz. He has the triple bonus of running against the GOP and the clown car that comes with it.

On Monday, Newt Gingrich of all people decided to have a go at Fetterman. Was Newt going to push one of his famously calorie-free big ideas on Fetterman? Was he going to ask for forgiveness for his part in promoting Trump’s Big Lie in a naked push for power and relevance? Maybe Gingrich would ask Fetterman to help pay off some of his multimillion dollar debt in unpaid bills from his failed 2012 run for president? No, Gingrich was going to piggyback on Tucker Carlson’s last-ditch effort to smear Fetterman’s … tattoos. You know, tattoos.
Does Fetterman have a series of white power signs on his body? No. He has tattoos to mark reminders of the people from his town of Braddock, where he was mayor. Many of his tattoos timestamp the deaths of innocent citizens, frequently to gun violence, and it is an important permanent reminder for Fetterman: "My decision to mark these deaths with tattoos was inspired in part by their permanence—the fact that these people, their stories and my town will be with me forever. I get that etching art permanently onto your body isn't how most politicians would express their connection to their communities. But I didn't care about what anyone else thought. It felt right to me."
Back to Gangreenich! Who wrote on Twitter, “Is Pennsylvania Democrat Fetterman’s tattoo ‘I will make you hurt’ based on his ties to the crips gang as reported by the Free Beacon or a reference to the nine inch nails heroin song ‘Hurt’. Fetterman won’t answer questions.” Gingrich really lit up the internet with his truly inane take on a great and sad song written by Pennsylvanian native Trent Reznor and famously covered by American icon Johnny Cash in his twilight years.
