WATCH: Fetterman Pressed On Fox News About Whether He Plans to Switch Parties

No, I'm not going to switch, Fetterman told her. He then said he will never turn to incendiary language, like some left-wingers have by comparing President Donald Trump and Republican voters in general to Nazis. If you want a Democrat that's going to call people Nazis or fascists or all these kinds of things, well, I'm not going to be that guy. Independent thinking and views wherever I happen to believe the truth [is], regardless if it's the Republican or the Democratic voice.

That's a blatant lie, said Kelly, before calling the suggestion defamatory and inappropriate in this setting. The argument continued: Student: That's not what I said. Kelly: Yes it is. Student: No, I said he contributed to the political atmosphere, the tension. Kelly: Well, then you have no point. Then your point is utterly empty.
