Fetterman Struggles During Debate: ‘I Do Support Fracking. And I Don’t’

On Tuesday, Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman struggled to answer questions about his conflicting statements on fracking during the debate with his Republican opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz. “You have made two conflicting statements regarding fracking,” the moderator said. “In a 2018 interview, you said quote, ‘I don’t support fracking at all. I never have.’ But earlier this month, you told an interviewer, quote, ‘I support fracking. I support the energy independence that we should have here in the United States.’” The moderator then asked Fetterman to explain his abrupt change in position. “I, I, I’ve always supported fracking,” Fetterman claimed.
