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.”

Orders from the boss. The attack dogs eagerly line up for a pet on the belly and ask how hard to attack.
He’s a senator for three more years. And he will almost certainly win in 2028. He has read PA politics precisely.
Are they going to drive him out of the caucus?
“However, am I going to write Fetterman off as crazy based on some 2nd or third hand anonymous sources.. No, I am not.”
How soon before the swat him?
Amazing that the Dems and the Media could studiously avoid voicing concerns about Biden’s obvious senility... and yet with Fetterman... totally different. I guess they are less invested when it comes to a single senator in a state where they control election outcomes.
In other words, third-hand information.
Maybe we can trade with the rodents. We get him and they get Murkowski or Tillis.
100%
You didn’t toe the line John..
“Teachers” are pro-Hamas Marxists. Of course they hate him, and are working with the AP to destroy him.
No kidding.
A hit piece if I ever saw one.
they never worried about biden’s mental health.
Exactly. He's not staying on the plantation.
“long, rambling, repetitive and self-centered monologues.”
That’s a trademark of the putrid AP.
Sounds more like Biden................
Unless there is video, i won’t believe anything from AP
Remarkable in these times, that there don’t seem to be any recordings of these behaviors.
“AP Sources Say…”. Likely false.
“Unless there is video, i won’t believe anything from AP”
Problem is, five years from now there WILL be video, whether or not it actually happened! AI will probably be able to fabricate anything.
Fetterman frustrated with ‘invasive’ discussion of medical issues, says he’ll ‘obviously’ serve full term
[[Obviously Fetterman is deranged. Trying to work with Republicans.]]
Lol- yep he be wackadoodle obviously lol
