A Politico column from
Washington Monthly
politics editor
Bill Scher
is causing surprise due to boasting about
Gisele Fetterman
and
Bill Nye
(the Science Guy) as possible members of a shadow cabinet.
Working off Senator
Elissa Slotkin’s
(Democratic – MI) proposed that Democrats consider forming a shadow cabinet similar to those used by European opposition parties to “challenge the Trump administration,” Scher recommended that the party should “engage prominent individuals who can communicate clearly and have the authority to debunk the frequently Orwellian statements made by the Trump administration.”

Remarkably, Scher subsequently nominated the mentioned Fetterman.
the wife
of Senator
John Fetterman
(D-PA) to lead the Department of Homeland Security — the large federal agency responsible for immigration enforcement, FEMA, the Coast Guard, and many other functions — as part of the shadow Cabinet.
Senator John Fetterman has emerged as a contentious figure within the Democratic Party due to his militant comments supporting Israel, which have distanced him from progressive supporters. Additionally, leaks from previous staff members have sparked questions regarding his fitness for office following an extensive hospitalization period to address severe depression,” started Scher. “However, his wife, Gisele Fetterman, carries none of these burdens and stands out as a remarkable individual in her own right. Originally an undocumented immigrant from Brazil during her childhood, Gisele wedded John shortly after he took office as the mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania. To assist impoverished locals in Braddock, she established Free Store 15104, offering essential items like food and clothing to those in need. While her husband gained prominence, Gisele maintained a witty online persona. After John won the election for lieutenant governor, Gisele playfully styled herself as SLOP (the Second Lady of Pennsylvania).
Following the November election, Gisele’s engagement on social media has decreased. Her most recent X post dates back to February, where she spoke up for immigrants without explicitly referencing Trump’s deportation efforts: ‘Although I dislike politics, I love people and believe everyone deserves safety in their own country. If someone chooses this new homeland, they too should find security,'” Scher added. “While her boldness might have faded, her deep-seated empathy towards those struggling as immigrants persists. With Trump intensifying his forceful deportations, very few individuals in America can exemplify and express so eloquently what we stand to lose when we demonize those who cherished America deeply enough to make it their home.
Later, he proposed that Nye should be chosen to head the EPA, noting that “the formally attired engineer who became a comedy writer and then a children’s television host has seamlessly combined science with entertainment. In recent times, he has used his skills to fight against climate change.”
“He has started referring to himself as ‘Bill Nye the Climate Guy,’ and considering how concerned the party is about connecting with younger voters, they might want to consider reaching out to someone who boasts a substantial follower base of 10 million on TikTok,” Scher commented.
Online, many were astonished by the
column
.
“A genuine journalist wrote an article for Politico proposing that Gisele Fetterman should serve as Secretary of Homeland Security due to her history as an undocumented immigrant, and you’re pondering whether any lessons have been grasped?” questioned RedState.

incredulously.
In a hilariously unexpected April Fool’s Day article released today, Politico proposes aShadow Cabinet aimed at opposing Trump, featuring the calamitous
Samantha Power
as Secretary of State,
Letitia James
as AG, comedian
Jon Stewart
“At the VA, and Fetterman’s spouse for DHS,” noted investigative journalist.

“Democrats could allocate $20 million to research ‘masculine grammar,’ yet so long as they prioritize listening to their favorite political pundits instead of heeding such lists, the party will struggle to reconnect with typical American citizens,” contended the conservative radio host.

“If this is the best the Democrats can manage, we’re in excellent shape,” reflected the ex-Trump White House Press Secretary.
Sean Spicer

“A shadow cabinet is tough to pull off in the American context, but it’s not necessarily a bad idea,” submitted

But some of the selections (Letitia James as Attorney General, Jon Stewart for Veterans Affairs, Bill Nye for the Environmental Protection Agency, and the previously mentioned Mrs. Fetterman for Homeland Security) are so absurd that they completely discredit the entire list.
