Sen. John Fetterman raises alarms with outburst at meeting with union officials, AP sources say

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania was meeting last week with representatives from a teachers union in his home state when things quickly devolved.

Before long, Fetterman began repeating himself, shouting and questioning why “everybody is mad at me,” “why does everyone hate me, what did I ever do” and slamming his hands on a desk, according to one person who was briefed on what occurred.

As the meeting deteriorated, a staff member moved to end it and ushered the visitors into the hallway, where she broke down crying. The staffer was comforted by the teachers who were themselves rattled by Fetterman’s behavior, according to a second person who was briefed separately on the meeting.

The interaction at Fetterman’s Washington office, described to The Associated Press by the two people who spoke about it on the condition of anonymity, came the day before New York Magazine published a story in which former staff and political advisers to Fetterman aired concerns about the senator’s mental health.

That story included a 2024 letter, also obtained by the AP, in which Fetterman’s one-time chief of staff Adam Jentleson told a neuropsychiatrist who had treated Fetterman for depression that the senator appeared to be off his recovery plan and was exhibiting alarming behavior, including a tendency toward “long, rambling, repetitive and self-centered monologues.”

Fetterman is what you get when Uncle Fester tries to be a comedian.

I find this whole charade to be a comical farce.

I mean … as a candidate this guy was literally a jabbering retard. And Democrats were outraged at the mere suggestion that he was incapable of doing the job. LOL.

When he became governor of NJ, Chris Christie picked up a lot of conservative fans as a result of his outbursts at teacher's union meetings.

He had a lot of people fooled, but his 2A record spoke for itself.

I followed the Fetterman/Oz senate race closely. Fetterman’s team was brilliant. They carefully handled him while running really good campaign ads.

On the other hand, Oz ran one of the worst campaigns I’ve ever seen.

It didn’t surprise me in the least that Fetterman won.

Now that he won’t bash Trump, the MSM is gunning for John.

This is pure BS. He is a halfway reasonable lefty, so the pinkos can’t have that. It’s all hate, all the time or they’ll work to get rid of you.

He is a moderate Democrat

Don’t kid yourself. He’s a radical socialist trust fund kid. I don’t know what’s with him now, but he sure hasn’t had some political change of heart since he got to Washington.

Obviously Fetterman is deranged. Trying to work with Republicans. But with what we see from the Left side it is difficult to determine if the majority aren’t deranged or depraved.

The loathsome predictable crowd is doing their normal loathsome predictable things. Even during his worst post-stroke days, Fetterman still had three times the ability of that walking/talking turd, Joe Biden, head of the Biden Crime Family. There is no hate deep enough for our media. I hope to be watching when the crowds finally do to them what they want done to us. There will be no punishment that is too cruel.

This is a clinic in the creation of a public leper. Isolate the target and go for the kill.
