The internet was stunned on Monday after Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) told comedian Bill Maher that he commended President Donald Trump‘s insult directed at a female reporter.
Fetterman was a guest on Maher’s “Club Random Podcast” when the comedian and host talked about how “refreshing” Trump’s “honesty” has been when the lawmaker replied and laughed, saying: “The ultimate: quiet piggy. Hahaha, yeah!”
The internet sounded off on the interaction between the two public figures.
“Two white men laughing at the president of the United States telling a woman reporter to ‘quiet piggy’ and calling it refreshing honesty really tells you how little regard both of them have for women. And professional decorum and basic decency,” Mj Cusick, a marketing professional and ghost writer who self-describes as a “lifelong D,” wrote on X.
“Two a——- walk into a bar…” Democratic strategist Jon Cooper, former Long Island Campaign Chair for Barack Obama and majority leader of the Suffolk County Legislature, wrote on X.
“This dude has fully jumped aboard the grift train. I used to be such a fan but I had to stop supporting him years ago!” Political commentator Jason McDaniel wrote on X.
“Watch Maher & Fetterman have a big laugh about how ;refreshing’ Trump’s honesty is when he demeans and attacks female reporters, including the ‘quiet piggy’ line. (Fitting since Maher has revealed himself to be the John Fetterman of out of touch talk show hosts),” The Tennessee Holler, a progressive news site, wrote in a Bluesky post.
