Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman struggled to participate in a recent interview with New York magazine, requiring closed captioning technology to understand his interviewer.
Fetterman, who serves as Pennsylvania's lieutenant governor, has struggled with auditory processing and speaking since he suffered a stroke in May. While his campaign has insisted he is on the road to recovery and is fit to serve in the Senate, Fetterman's interview in early October for a New York profile revealed that the Democrat still has difficulty with basic communication. The magazine disclosed that during a video call interview, Fetterman used a closed captioning program to understand questions, reading them in real time.
"Our 50-minute conversation, in which I could see his eyes moving swiftly across his computer screen as he read and responded to my questions in real time, included moments … where it was clear that Fetterman's vexation amplified his communicative challenges," wrote Rebecca Traister, the author of the profile.
Traister described Fetterman as "lucid," "animated," and "eloquent" in the interview, a characterization seemingly contradicted by Traister's subsequent descriptions of Fetterman's expressiveness:
At one point, when we were talking about his work to address crime and gun violence while mayor of Braddock, Fetterman said what sounded like a nonsense word. "To have an actual domicated—" he paused. "Excuse me, domentated—" He paused again, getting frustrated. "Yeah," he added with a small smile, "this is the stroke right here." Then he took a breath. "Documented," he said. "Documented."

“This is literally a race asking the voters, do you want your crap sandwich with or without corn.”
And there you go again spreading the same crap of yours all over free republic.
John is in the same boat as Demented Joe.
“Uncle Fester” is still riding the pity vote. Don’t pick on the disabled just because they cannot understand a word you are saying. Cut him a little slack, OK? < /sarcasm >
The Democrat Socialist caucus in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania should have replaced him long ago. They know it, but they are going to try to bluster through just like the “election” of Joe Biden in 2020. It worked once, didn’t it? It can work again, if only the right levers and workers can be in place. Or maybe their string of “luck” will just run out.
He will be on zero committees.
Schumer will tell him to STFU and vote how he’s told.
The tape covers the tattoo that reads "I will make you hurt". Nice sentiment.
We need 51 seats just to stop Biden from pushing through judges. He now has the most of any first term president. Even beat Trump.
I was bashing him on his Facebook page the other day, calling him a commie punk who dresses like a 13 year old because he has no respect for himself or the office then this thing popped up saying it was him and that he wanted to debate me but it was just this automated crap. On the other hand it could have been him lol
He’s just what we need, another brain damaged senator.
Murderers on his staff, too

Not my problem.
I will not vote for someone forced upon me by leaders in the party. Until the party allows its members open and fair primaries, I will not submit to their chosen candidates.
If we don't get the Senate as a result, it is the leadership's fault, not mine.
That is not true at all. It would completely be the voters fault. We had primaries to settle who is going to be the nominee. Once that happens, that’s who you vote for. Sounds like you’re very selfish.
No, we did not have a primary.
We had outside interference that prevented the Republican people of Pennsylvania from choosing the candidate.
A primary that is manipulated by the party is not a free and open primary.
You can bend over and take it, but I am done with having inferior, non-believing candidates forced upon the voters.
I don't care how you frame the "stakes". I have heard that for decades and am sick of being threatened to vote against my conscience so "our team can win".
The entire "my team" mentality is the problem with politics today and why we have so many career politicians who are corrupt and never removed from office.
Then move to Florida. We know how to vote.
