A Democrat Senator defended his recent meeting with President Trump after his recent bipartisan efforts have sparked criticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sen.\u00a0John Fetterman\u00a0(D-Pa.) said on Monday that President Trump was \u201ckind\u201d and \u201ccordial\u201d at a Mar-a-Lago meeting that sparked scrutiny<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOverall, it was a positive experience. I mean, he was kind, he was cordial. It wasn\u2019t in any kind of theater. It wasn\u2019t trying to get your picture taken to kind of put something out on social media. It was just, really, a conversation. We actually spoke for over an hour,\u201d Fetterman told \u201cThe View.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fetterman met\u00a0with Trump at his Palm Beach resort earlier this month, ahead of the inauguration, and Trump left with praise for the Pennsylvania senator.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHe\u2019s a commonsense person. He\u2019s not liberal or conservative. He\u2019s just a commonsense person, which is beautiful,\u201d Trump said in an interview<\/a> with the Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fetterman\u2019s open-minded approach to Trump and Capitol Hill Republicans has stirred speculation<\/a> about the first-term senator\u2019s motives, including questions about whether he was preparing to change parties<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
