Fetterman to Appear on ‘The View’ for Pre-Election Interview
Washington Free Beacon ^ | October 30, 2022 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 10/31/2022 11:54:09 AM PDT by conservative98

Senate candidate John Fetterman will appear Friday on The View, the Democrat’s first live interview following a debate performance that has raised questions about his health condition following a near-fatal stroke earlier this year.

Fetterman repeatedly stumbled over his words during the debate against Republican Mehmet Oz. He gave unclear statements on his positions on fracking and taxes, and refused repeatedly to release records of his medical condition. "Hi, goodnight everybody," he said in his opening statement at the debate.

Fetterman’s View appearance comes as his lead over Oz has evaporated following Republican attacks on his positions on criminal justice reform. Fetterman’s shaky debate performance may have flipped the race in Oz’s favor. A poll conducted after the debate found Oz leading Fetterman by roughly two points, with undecided voters saying they preferred the Republican by almost a two-to-one margin.

Fetterman is almost certain to find a friendly audience at The View, whose hosts are known for their liberal views. The hosts regularly defend Democrats amid scandal, such as when they rallied around Joe Biden after sexual misconduct allegations were directed at him in 2019. Cohost Whoopi Goldberg, known for making anti-Semitic remarks, said it "pisses me off" that Biden was criticized for smelling women's hair and kissing them on the forehead. Biden’s sister was reportedly tipped off before an interview on the show this year that she would be asked about Hunter Biden’s legal problems.

The View hosts defended Fetterman after his disastrous debate, claiming he showed "bravery" just for showing up to the event. Cohost Sunny Hostin accused Oz of bullying Fetterman over his health condition, though the Republican made no mention of Fetterman’s stroke during the debate.

It is unclear how The View hosts will accommodate Fetterman, who says he struggles to process sound. Fetterman will appear on the show’s "Political View" segment, in which the show hosts typically interview political figures live and in studio.

They can always use the argument that he isn’t that much dumber than Pennsylvania’s senior senator who has warmed a seat since 2007 based on the name of his famous father.

And I’m sure that the ladies will extend all of the same courtesies to Fetterman that they extended to Ted Cruz when Ted appeared...

( “Hi, goodnight everybody,” )

Ah there’s the quote.

This guy needs medical attention.

The show isn’t live, it can be heavily edited so that Febbleman doesn’t sound so completely flocked up.

They will be licking the drool from his chin to make him look better.

I do support fracking. And I don’t, I don’t. I support fracking, and I stand and I do support fracking

They are going to make him seem like a lovable "guy next door."

That's okay as only the brain-dead watch that show anyhow.

He will have to wear a name tag so they can tell him apart from Joy Behar

Maybe they can use the same stuff on him that Biden gets.

Fine, as long as they don’t show what’s going on under the table.

His fat ugly ass fits right in with the hosts. People can tell the difference between Fetterwoman and the hosts by the growth on Fetterwoman’s neck.

Is the View now a Zombie show like the Walking Dead? I dunno/ I cut off all paid TV 3 years ago. The interesting videos are on you tube and elsewhere these days.
