Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman’s opponents in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate used a debate Thursday night to criticize his proposal for a gas tax holiday, his plans for a billionaires tax and a 2013 episode in which he confronted a Black jogger with a shotgun.
It was the second debate among the Democratic candidates, and the first in which the front-runner, Fetterman, participated. So U.S. Representative Conor Lamb, State Representative Malcolm Kenyatta took turns attacking the lieutenant governor on fracking, health care and taxes.
