This isn't the first time the Pennsylvania senator criticized members of his own party.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported Fetterman rushed to defend Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert after her son was arrested. He slammed liberals for their "cruelty" toward the Republican amid what he called "a family in crisis."
"This is a family in crisis and the recreational cruelty I see on social media needs to be out of bounds," Fetterman wrote on Wednesday.
The senator then appeared to reference his own history with online bullies after he sought inpatient treatment for clinical depression last year, as well as his clothing choices and political remarks.
"I know the impact this has on children. I'm calling for restraint because cruelty has substantial collateral damage," the senator added. "We can't ever forget that they didn't sign up for this."
