(Townhall) Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) is being criticized for promoting a 4/20, a so-called “holiday” popular with marijuana smokers worldwide.
The Democrat tweeted a photo of himself holding a flag with marijuana leaves scattered all over it, saying, “It’s 420 somewhere.”
“It’s 4:20 on 4/20. That’s the tweet,” Fetterman wrote in the caption.
Twitter users took the chance to call out the senator for encouraging the dangerous and illegal, under federal law, habit, leaving numerous people disgusted.
You’re encouraging a federal crime. Seems on brand, actually.

Another user pointed out that smoking marijuana can exacerbate his mental health issues, which Fetterman has faced. Earlier this week, he was released from the hospital battling “severe” depression.
Oh, my. Rehab did not help.
