Fetterman To Carlson: Yes, Let’s Talk About My Tattoos

John Fetterman writes for NBC News:

Earlier this month, Fox News host Tucker Carlson went on a nearly 20-minute-long rant about me. The whole thing was as unhinged as you’d expect, but one line that stood out was about my tattoos. “All your stupid little fake tattoos,” he said, calling them a “costume.” So let’s talk about the tattoos that Carlson seems to be so interested in.

I have nine dates tattooed on my right forearm. Each one is a day on which someone died violently in Braddock, Pennsylvania, while I was mayor. Gun violence and violent crime might be a joke to someone like Carlson, but they are very real to people in towns like Braddock. That’s why I have these tattoos. They are not some “costume.”

Read the full essay. Whoa.

Let’s talk about my tattoos, since Tucker Carlson seems to be *so* interested in them.

Gun violence + violent crime might be a joke to someone like him, but they are very real to people in towns like Braddock. https://t.co/XXjirA6Dk3
