Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., called Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapio a “f—— a——” during a hot mic moment amid a heated Zoom hearing, his new memoir reveals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fetterman, who was the state’s lieutenant governor at the time, recalled delivering the outburst after Shapiro delivered a “very long-winded and unnecessary” speech justifying his decision to vote against commuting the sentences of Lee and Dennis Horton, the New York Post<\/a> reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Lee brothers had been convicted of second-degree murder in a fatal 1993 robbery and shooting.<\/p>\n

The hearing was part of the Pennsylvania\u2019s Board of Pardons meeting when Shapiro expressed concerns that transcripts from the siblings\u2019 original trial were missing, Fetterman wrote in the memoir, titled: “Unfettered.”<\/p>\n

In response, Fetterman became angry. At one point during a private meeting, he threatened to run for governor in 2022 and pull Shapiro into a primary.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I told him there were two tracks \u2014 that one and the one in which he ran for governor and I ran for the Senate (which was the one I preferred),” Fetterman wrote in his new book, “Unfettered,” as excerpted by The Philadelphia Inquirer.<\/a><\/p>\n

“I had no interest in friction, only in what I felt was justice,” he added.<\/p>\n

The book reportedly details how Shapiro’s people reached out to Fetterman.<\/p>\n

“He wanted me to retract things I had said and to deny the rumors about the private meeting taking place,” Fetterman wrote. “That wasn\u2019t going to happen.”<\/p>\n

In December 2020, the board voted to commute the Hortons\u2019 sentences<\/a>. Fetterman eventually invited Dennis Horton to be his guest at the 2023 State of the Union address.<\/p>\n

However, his relationship with Shapiro never recovered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I sincerely wish him the best,” Fetterman wrote of the governor. “He is a credit to the state and may one day be a credit to the country. I remember fondly the days when we were nobodies trying to climb the ladder. Even if we no longer speak.”<\/p>\n

The roots of the feud on the parole board stemmed from who was granted parole or a pardon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I truly believed with all my heart that nobody I ever supported for a pardon was a danger to society. I was willing to stake my political career on it,” Fetterman wrote. “[Shapiro] was far more cautious, and at a certain point, I began to think that what was influencing him was not mere caution but political ambition.”<\/p>\n

At one meeting, Shapiro voted against parole in 12 of 15 cases, causing Fetterman<\/a> to break his reading glasses in frustration, the senator recalled.<\/p>\n

“I believe what drove him to delay and deny applications was not the facts of a given case as much as a fear that someone whose sentence he\u2019d commuted would go on to commit terrible violence on the outside,” Fetterman wrote.<\/p>\n

On Capitol Hill, Fetterman has clashed with his fellow Democrats<\/a> because of his stance on working with the Trump administration and his support for Israel. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
