On her podcast, Fast Politics, author and journalist Molly Jong-Fast asked Gisele Barreto Fetterman, wife of Democratic Pennsylvania Senate candidate, John Fetterman, about an interview of her husband that resulted in controversy and accusations of ableism this week. Mrs. Fetterman expressed outrage that the reporter has not faced any “consequences” for it.
When NBC News reporter Dasha Burns interviewed the Pennsylvania candidate, he relied on a closed-caption display as a visual aid, due to what he and his campaign have characterized as “audio processing” issues he’s experienced following a stroke this year.
While talking about the interview, Burns noted that he did indeed seem to have issues processing conversation that was strictly based on processing audio, without the aid of closed-captioning, as he had stated. But her confirmation of Fetterman’s description of his situation was met with widespread outrage from fellow journalists and liberal media figures after it was shared and discussed in the conservative media.
Jong-Fast brought up the interview by claiming that Burns “took some liberties” with her supposition of his health.
“How did you feel?” she asked.
“I don’t like saying rage because I think that’s a really unhealthy feeling, and when you feel those things, it only harms yourself,” said Fetterman. “But I just, you know, what a disservice that she did to not only my husband, but to anyone facing a disability and working through it.”
Fetterman made it clear she felt there should have been punishment and shared her consternation that there hasn’t been.
“I don’t know how there were not consequences, right?” she said. “I mean, there are consequences for folks in these positions who are any of the -isms. I mean, she was ablest and that’s what she was in her interview.”
She also took direct aim at NBC News and other media outlets for not reporting about her husband in the way she feels would be appropriate.
“It just shows there’s so much work to do. But these networks have to take accountability, right? Like, where is your training, right?” Fetterman said. “It was appalling to see and you see that in schools. You see that with young children. You don’t expect to see it at this level.”
He’s MARRIED???????
She reminds me of Arec Ballwin’s shrew-wife. I’d like to see a cage match between them.
Once every fifth Tuesday of the month in an even-numbered year during a full moon when Jupiter is visible a journalist does his job and gets roasted for it by a democrat.
So we’ve got a brain dead president and a senator who has had strokes and needs help just to function.
Nice “democracy”!
Hoodies and scarves.
Uh, because...this is not the Soviet Union?
How did I do?
He’s entered an entirely new protected class — the “differently abled” class. She’s playing up the classism that defines Democrats.
Previously his classes were 1) butt ugly, 2) second head growing on neck, 3) pro-criminal, 4) sartorially-challenged and 5) tats. Now his new #6 Class moves up to #1.
With libs, it’s always about the pecking order of classes and grievances.
That’s why fetterman cant get elected. They would replace him with his wife
Ugh. The Fetterman turds. Dumber than buckets of chicken slop. Truly beyond help. A sad reflection on society that anyone takes these people seriously.
Listen here, sweetheart, from a 30 year plus journalist...
Reporters report what they find. You don’t make “special exceptions” for anyone. Doing so would be biased journalism. A sitting US senator who can’t hear the floor debates? That’s newsworthy, honey. And if your husband can’t handle it, he needs to drop out of the race.
Here in the Disunited States you don’t mess with royalty...
Gisele Barreto Fetterman is as much of a far left (COMMIE)scumbag as her brain impaired husband!
If Fetterman were unable to process information at all the complaints would be the same. It doesn’t really matter, though. Elect a Democrat and you get the precise same scripted votes in Congress and if the Senator/Representative is unable to push the appropriate button he will have an aide to do it for him. There is no reason to have individual Democrat names on the ballot. All are generic and functionally identical. They do not pull their own strings.
She told the truth! Stone her!!!
And she would make sure that a replacement was necessary.
"Just one more booster shot, honey. You can't be too safe!"
Seems like Festerman is always hidingbehind somw woman’s skirts.
When is he going to be mature enough to fight his own battles?
How do you cover up his huge grotesque persona, and his commie agenda?
(as an aside...it is a real break for the Giant that the much acclaimed film, “Whale”, will not be released until after the election, in December.)
You have my deepest sympathies.
Fully waxed...even her brain.
Yep, she looks creepy to me as well.
