Fetterman usually wears a neck warmer, and takes other steps, to try to conceal some of his physical and mental problems from the general public, but occasionally, some of these issues are exposed.

They don’t mention the neck bulge

When I saw this article, I thought the neck bulge was what this whole thing was all about.

A cruel wit recently called him “John ‘Quasi’ Fetterman”.
