Sen. Fetterman endorses Sen. Romney for President of Harvard.

WASHINGTON — Add Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman to the list of Harvard alumni who want to see Utah Sen. Mitt Romney as president of the university.

Fetterman posted his support Monday on the social media platform X along with an image from a Washington Post op-ed by the president of the American Jewish Congress calling for Romney to "clean up" the university's "almighty mess" over escalating hate speech.

"As an alumnus of Harvard, and after this mad season of antisemitism at Columbia, I co-sign," wrote Fetterman, a Democrat who holds a master's degree in public policy from the Harvard Kennedy School.

"This former Governor of Massachusetts doesn't need a paycheck, but Harvard and its academic peers needs to recalibrate from far-left orthodoxy," his post continued. Fetterman is seen as one of the most vocal Democratic supporters of Israel amid increasing demands for cease-fire in Gaza.

1. Good choice. Mittens needs something to fuck up.

[Think. Again.]

2. Why anyone would even consider...

...giving any rightwinger any access to any power at all is beyond me.

4. UGH. Just what Harvard doesn't need. A hypocritical misogynistic Republican weasel as president.

5. there a lol... like harvard ir run by anything but rabid right wing money as it is....

Sure, maybe the president as a figurehead may occasionally have progressive credentials, and sometimes not. But the real power at the university is strongly held by monied interests that are very much conservative.

mittens couldn't affect school policy if he wanted to.

6. Romney represents the most naked vulture capitalism and the looting of our economy by the monied class

Sure he doesn't need a paycheck.

Romney's spent his entire business career buying and bankrupting major brands to separate labor from agreed benefits.

7. Isn't 77 too old to be president of one the top universities in the whole wide world?

Trump 77, will be 78 on June 14, 2024.
Romney 77, will be 78 on Mar 12, 2023
Joe Biden 81, will be 82 (only 4 years older than Lumpy Trumpy) on November 20, 223

So Biden was a Senior when Romney and Trump were Freshmen.

9. Romney is a much younger 77 though

Not having a single drink all his life does wonders.

8. With Dems like these

who needs enemies?
