Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman’s communications director openly said she disagreed with her boss on Israel and Gaza, criticizing him after an interview, saying his views were “a lot less nuanced” than her generation’s.

Fetterman’s communications director, Carrie Adams, spoke with the reporter who was doing a profile on Fetterman that was released Sunday. Reportedly, as Adams was getting off the phone call with the journalist who was conducting the Fetterman interview, she said “I don’t agree with him.”

“I have a sense that his international views are a lot less nuanced than my generation, because when he was growing up, it was might makes right, and for my generation and younger who, of course, are the ones protesting this, they have a much more nuanced view of the region,” Adams told The Free Press.

Fetterman has continued to defend Israel during his time in office and especially since Oct. 7, the day Hamas attacked Israel. He has criticized fellow Democrats who have made anti-Israel comments and called out those who incorrectly blamed a hospital bombing in Gaza on Israel. He even traveled to Israel to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu despite pushback from the left.

Adams comments went viral on social media, with dozens of users heavily criticizing her for publicly trashing her boss.

“Literally you had one job,” investigative reporter Lachlan Markay wrote on Twitter.

“and she took the job when Fetterman’s views on the issue were already very widely known,” Markay added.

“To me, this violates the most fundamental aspect of a staffers job, especially that of a comms director. Carrie Adams’ name is not on the door. The telling part is how willing she is to violate her bosses trust just for the chance to Jew hate,” Trump Force 47 EI Deputy Director John Seravalli said on Twitter.

“So Fetterman’s COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR called Peter to criticize…Fetterman. She’s not an idiot Zer. She’s a liberal hack millennial. Hard to think she’s not looking to get fired to make a stink and get a Soros NGO job that pays more,” writer John Podhoretz said.

“One gets the impression that Carrie Adams is more focused on doing comms for Carrie Adams, staffer who wants to work for progressive causes in the future, than for the principal. If those goals (or core values) are in conflict, the obvious solution is to depart, not to do this,” Jared Walczak, the Vice President of State Projects at the Tax Foundation said.

“Yes, this is fireable and dumb. But it’s also hilarious she thinks anyone gives a damn what a staffer’s personal views are…,” Matt Gorman, the Executive Vice President at Targeted Victory said.

The Daily Caller contacted Adams and Fetterman’s chief of staff regarding the comments and to see if she would still be employed, to which they did not immediately respond.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
