‘Joe wasn’t the problem: Democrats in all-out war as John Fetterman blasts faceless powerbrokers who pushed out Biden ‘before an absolute sleazeball’ like convicted NJ Sen Bob Menendez

While many Democrats fell over themselves to honor Joe Biden for his dramatic withdrawal on Sunday, some are unhappy that the president has been “removed from office.”

Biden dramatically withdrew on Sunday and endorsed Kamala Harris as the party’s standard-bearer against Trump in November.

While many, including Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Harris herself, praised the decision, not everyone agrees.

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, one of Biden’s most ardent defenders since the debate, fiercely criticized the decision and those calling for the president to resign.

He laughed at the idea that Biden had been “unseated” by recently convicted New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, a frequent target of Fetterman’s ire.

“People have put an honorable man, a loving father, and a great president in front of an absolute scumbag like Menendez. Congratulations,” he said Blessing.

Menendez was found guilty earlier this week of conspiracy to commit bribery in a massive corruption plot.

He was accused of taking part in a years-long foreign corruption scandal that netted him gold bars, cash and a new car.

The New Jersey Democrat has not yet resigned and has not yet said for certain that he will not seek re-election in November after withdrawing from his party’s primary.

Jasmine Crockett, a Texas congresswoman, also appeared bewildered by Biden’s decision and those who wanted him gone.

She posted on social media: “I hope the geniuses who fired the most influential president in our lifetime have a plan. WHO the hell couldn’t sell the MF Accomplishments and convince a 34 time convicted felon who can’t even run a business in the state of NY (and therefore should automatically be disqualified from running the country) and his ENTIRE team IS project 2025?! Joe wasn’t the problem… the Democrats were.”

DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison was nearly in tears during a meeting of the Democratic National Convention’s Credentials Committee on Sunday.

“I’m emotional because I’m still riding with Biden. I’m still supporting my president,” Harrison said.

CNN commentator Bakari Sellers, like Fetterman, was disgusted with the way the trial unfolded.

“Democrats should be ashamed of the way President Biden has been treated by his own colleagues over the past month. He is one of the most transformative presidents in a generation,” he wrote.

However, he did admit: ‘That battle is over. I don’t dare start a new one.’

Sellers, Harris and Crockett immediately endorsed Vice President Harris, as did Biden on Sunday afternoon. Fetterman has not yet declared his support.

DailyMail.com has reached out to a spokesperson for Fetterman’s team for comment.

Chris D. Jackson, a Tennessee politician and outspoken defender of Biden on social media, lashed out at those who wanted the president to resign.

“I hope all you anti-Biden people are happy. You just took the best president of our lifetime off the list. What’s happening now is all your fault,” he wrote.

Jackson is also a big supporter of Harris and endorsed her on Sunday afternoon.

Chris Coons, Biden and Harris’ campaign manager, appeared on CBS News red-faced and teary-eyed, saying the president had made a “difficult decision.”

Coons, who is also a senator from Delaware, sobbed as he stared into the distance, took a deep breath and tried to regain his composure on national television.

CNN’s Van Jones was also emotional and had tears in his eyes as he spoke on the radio about Biden’s decision to withdraw from the race and endorse Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination.

Meanwhile, on MSNBC, Rachel Maddow gave a lengthy speech to viewers explaining that Biden’s decision is not what he would have really wanted. Instead, he’s doing this for the good of the country.

Biden announced his dramatic decision in a one-page letter posted to social media, pledging to stay through the end of his term in January.

However, Republicans called on him to resign immediately, arguing that if he is not “fit to run,” he is also “not fit to serve.”

“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president,” Biden wrote in a letter posted to his X account on Sunday.

“And while it was my intention to be re-elected,” he continued, “I believe it is in the best interests of my party and the country that I step down and focus solely on fulfilling the duties of my president for the remainder of my term.”

Although Biden was immediately under pressure, the shock announcement came as a surprise and appeared to catch many of his own aides and supporters in Congress by surprise.

“No one was aware of this before the tweet went out,” a Biden campaign aide told DailyMail.com. “I think that’s an insane way to treat the 1,300 people who work for your campaign.”

Earlier on Sunday, several of Biden’s allies said over the air that the president would not resign and would continue his re-election campaign.

Biden said in his letter that he would discuss his decision in more detail in remarks to the nation later this week. He also sent a quick follow-up post urging Harris to take over his campaign.

Last week, Biden was pulled from the campaign trail after being diagnosed with COVID-19 for the third time in the midst of a West Coast swing, fueling further speculation that he would soon drop out of the race.

That happened after the confrontation with Trump last month, in which Biden was often seen in a split screen with his mouth open and a blank look.

As the President stood at the podium speaking, he stumbled, froze, lost his train of thought and mumbled answers to questions from the moderator.

At one point, just 12 minutes into the debate, Trump said, “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don’t think he knows what he said either.”

Trump then went to a post-debate rally in Chesapeake, Virginia, where he said he was skeptical that Biden would actually drop out of the race, arguing that Democrats have no better option against him in November.

The former president responded directly to Biden’s decision in a phone call with CNN on Sunday.

“He’s the worst president in the history of our country,” the former president said. “He’s going to go down as the worst president in the history of our country.”

Trump added that he thinks Harris will be even easier to beat than Biden.
