In a recent interview with the New York Post, Senator John Fetterman, D-Pa., expressed his concerns about the rights granted to squatters who occupy other people's homes illegally. Fetterman strongly emphasized that squatters have "no rights" and criticized the idea of pretending otherwise.

The issue of squatting has been a growing problem across the United States, and Fetterman questioned how these individuals can claim any rights when they are clearly breaking the law. He compared the situation to someone stealing a car and then suddenly having rights after holding it for 30 days, calling it "crazy."

Fetterman called for a smarter and more aggressive crime policy, particularly for individuals with a history of repeated offenses. He expressed his disapproval of allowing repeat offenders to go unpunished, stating that it doesn't serve any greater goal to let them escape accountability.

The senator also addressed the recent shooting of NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller and condemned the alleged murderer, who had several prior arrests. Fetterman emphasized the importance of holding individuals with established criminal records accountable for their actions.

Additionally, Fetterman expressed his strong support for Israel, despite facing pushback from his own party. He disagreed with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's call for a regime change in Israel and emphasized that it is a democracy and a crucial ally of the United States. He argued against any form of foreign interference and questioned why the same should not apply to Israel.

Regarding the upcoming presidential election, Fetterman acknowledged that it would be a close race in Pennsylvania between President Biden and former President Donald Trump. He predicted that Trump would have significant support in the state but ultimately believed that Biden would emerge as the winner.

Senator Fetterman's statements shed light on the pressing issue of squatting and the need for stronger crime policies. His unwavering support for Israel and predictions on the upcoming election demonstrate his clear stance on these important matters. With his strong voice and commitment, Fetterman continues to advocate for the rights of homeowners and push for effective solutions to address crime.
