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.

If it isn’t live, what’s the point. We know they will edit and doctor up all the flaws. This is a ruse.

“John Fetterman to appear on ‘The View’...”

That should go really well. Whoopi Goldberg can bust trail for him to keep him on message, and Joy Behar can fill in the blanks in his stumbling narrative with her inimitable manner and insufferable attitude.

I suspect his wife, Gisele will ‘demand’ to be on the show with him as a minder and monitor.

“He needs me there. I guess you could say I’m a “Fetterman-Whisperer” Most the time, only I can properly interpret his message. //

The producers of the View will do all they can to make him appear normal.

I like how his illegal immigrant wife loosened up his tie a bit. To show this communist blow hard is still man of the people...That neck lump is out of Total Recall.

I cannot imagine how much of a rig job this is going to be. They will be editing a lot. The outtakes would sink Shrek if they came out before Tuesday.

well, this should go smoother with them giving him the questions in a text file in advance...

Side note to Mr. Fetterman: Whoopi enjoys watching white men perform in blackface. You should show up in blackface. Trust me. You’ll be a hit.

he struggles to process sound.

To be fair, the noises that come out of the hosts on the View are difficult to process even among fully cogent adults.

Either he surfaces with his tedious wife, who will handle all the crosstalk and mouth words for him, or they will prerecord the interview and edit the awfulness out as best as they can. I don’t believe the View hosts can avoid tripping over one another to talk and get their points in, and I have yet to see evidence that they show prep cooperatively.

I’m sure he will be treated with the same scrutiny as any republican candidate...

He is going to show the ladies of the view that he can count to 10.

“Audience, please don’t help him!”

Will they ask him about the gigantic lump on his neck?

I wouldn’t be surprised if they make a deep fake video of this interview on The View to make it appear Fetterman has regained cognitive function.

They will have somebody else on the sound system answering the questions.
