Sen. John Fetterman garbles words, wears baggy shorts with Joe Biden in Philadelphia
NY POST ^ | June 17, 2023 | By Mary Kay Linge

Sen. John Fetterman dressed for a day on a basketball court Saturday to greet President Biden in Philadelphia — then stumbled over his words as he spoke to the media.

The Pennsylvania Democrat, in baggy shorts, sneakers, and a light blue hoodie, was unable to pronounce words such as “delegation” and “infrastructure” as he made a garbled one-minute statement after Biden toured the collapsed I-95 overpass that has snarled traffic throughout the northeast.

“This is a president that is committed to infructure,” said Fetterman, 53, who continues to grapple with the effects of a stroke he suffered last May as he campaigned for his Senate seat.

Biden, he said, “is here to commit to work with the governor and the delegadation to make sure that we get this fixed quick, fast, as well, too.”

The freshman senator also praised Biden’s $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, calling it “the jewel, kind of a law, of the infra, infration, infriction bill that is gonna make sure that there’s bridges like this all across America getting rebuilt.”

Biden — dressed, like most of the officials in attendance, in suit and tie — did not visibly react to Fetterman’s painful phrasing.

“A real show of farce,” Charlotte A snarked on Twitter.

On Wednesday, Fetterman struggled to discuss the accident during a meeting of the Senate Environment Committee after committee chairman Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del) invited him to speak.

“Uh no, I – uh, would just, um, really like to, you know — the 95, 95, 95. You know?” Fetterman began, later calling I-95 a “major atery” for the nation.

The blue collar bar up the road in Pennsylvania that I occasionally stop at. The patrons there I am sure are pleased. He looks just like them! Their reason for voting for him.

Biden went there so they could stand Fetterman beside him and make Biden look sharp, well dressed, and articulate!

If they had a decent senate challenger, I’d agree. But Dr. Oz? Come on. Couldn’t have picked worse.

Looks like something you’d see in Frankenstein’s basement after the parts swap.

Fetterman has a staff. I’d think part of their job would be to make him look good. The fact this isn’t happening tells me he has some personality quirk that reacts badly to that kind of help. I knew a guy who had a stroke and developed the temperament of a wolverine. His wife said it was a product of the stroke. My guess, however, is that he always was like that and had learned to control it in public. The stroke took away the control. My guess is that Fetterman was never a personable, likable guy.

Looks like those two morons are comparing Turkey necks. Well now, they also added some make up wearing Film Actors Guild member to the cast of Characters. Of course they did, the are Democrats.

Democrats consider the Republican party to be such a threat to the Republic that they are willing to vote in a mentally retarded Senator like Fetterman.

Fetterman Looks over at President Biden and asks “Who is that guy with all those guards?” Mean while Biden looks at Fetterman and asks “who is that guy in shorts and the sweat shirt?”

it’s not like those two would be accused of being Mensa members....
