1. Here’s how the city that John Fetterman supposedly saved is doing today
Democratic candidate John Fetterman, who is running for U.S. Senate, is the self-proclaimed savior of a Pennsylvania steel town.
So to see it for himself, Townhall traversed Braddock: a “depressed” post-industrial wasteland that Fetterman says he saved when he was mayor there for more than a decade. In the ghost town, we discovered that there was no grocery store, no bank, and almost no pro-Fetterman signs – except for those on the outskirts near the Fetterman family residence.
We also talked to city residents who were left behind by Fetterman in search of higher office. Here’s what Braddock owners, residents and the former mayor who replaced Fetterman told Townhall. Let’s just say that if Fetterman loses, it won’t be a toasty welcome home.

Among them is a survivor of a communist concentration camp and two Christian bookstore owners.
The public may have been tempted to believe the Biden administration’s rhetoric portraying peaceful protesters as bloodthirsty militants, but documentary evidence tells a different story. Fortunately, Townhall found a live feed of the pro-life protest and captured the scene on site as demonstrators sang hymns, read the Bible and prayed.
Townhall’s investigative reporting was even mentioned on Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s show. “We should remember that we only have this video thanks to the hard work of Mia Cathell at Townhall, which interrupted this story. God bless.”
