Mark Ruffalo Suggests John Fetterman Should Step Down Over Israel Hard-Line: ‘Go Be a Lobbyist’

"Get out of representing the people of the USA," the actor adds The post Mark Ruffalo Suggests John Fetterman Should Step Down Over Israel Hard-Line: ‘Go Be a Lobbyist’ appeared first on TheWrap .

Mark Ruffalo, the actor known for his role in "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," has criticized Senator John Fetterman for his stance on Israel. Initially supportive of Fetterman in 2022, Ruffano now believes that Fetterman should step down from his position as a senator and instead become a lobbyist. In a tweet on Wednesday, Ruffalo wrote, "Here’s the problem.

When you put another country above the USA, when you are in the U.S. government, no matter what you say, you aren’t working for the American people." He suggested that Fetterman should register as a lobbyist for a foreign government, allowing him to make a living without taking a paycheck from U.S. taxpayers. The controversy erupted following Fetterman’s appearance on "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart, where Fetterman threatened to leave the Democratic Party if it adopted an "anti-Israel" stance.

Stewart labeled the senator's stance as a "weird line" to draw and pointed out that it undermines the principles of American democracy.
