I think Fetterman is analogous to Caligula’s horse. Suetonius relates that Caligula planned to appoint his horse Incitatus to the position of consul, but was assassinated before the appointment could be made. Why would Caligula name his horse consul? In order to insult and humiliate senators and other elites.
Similarly, the Democrats’ electing Fetterman to the Senate, allowing him to conduct himself in an inappropriate and unprofessional manner, and encouraging him in behavior that brings disgrace on himself and the institution he serves, are all intended to damage the public’s respect for the Senate. The Left is attacking all of our institutions in a multitude of ways. Not just tolerating but encouraging clownish behavior by a brain-damaged John Fetterman is just one of their tactics to undermine the Senate.
That’s a bit of an insult to Caligula’s horse though. I suspect Incitatus’ cerebellum had much more horsepower (sorry) than Fetterman’s brain at this point.
