WGAL News 8 has learned that Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman is currently at Lancaster General Hospital being treated.
This comes on the heals of several public events that were cancelled over the weekend.
Statement From Lt. Governor John Fetterman
Pennsylvania Lt. Governor John Fetterman released the following statement from Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital:
“On Friday, I wasn’t feeling well, so I went to the hospital to get checked out. I didn’t want to go – I didn’t think I had to – but Gisele insisted, and as usual, she was right. I hadn't been feeling well, but was so focused on the campaign that I ignored the signs and just kept going. On Friday it finally caught up with me. I had a stroke that was caused by a clot from my heart being in an A-fib rhythm for too long. Fortunately, Gisele spotted the symptoms and got me to the hospital within minutes. The amazing doctors here were able to quickly and completely remove the clot, reversing the stroke, they got my heart under control as well. It's a good reminder to listen to your body and be aware of the signs.
“The good news is I’m feeling much better, and the doctors tell me I didn’t suffer any cognitive damage. I’m well on my way to a full recovery. So I have a lot to be thankful for. They’re keeping me here for now for observation, but I should be out of here sometime soon. The doctors have assured me that I’ll be able to get back on the trail, but first I need to take a minute, get some rest, and recover. There’s so much at stake in this race, and I’m going to be ready for the hard fight ahead.
“But our campaign isn’t slowing down one bit, and we are still on track to win this primary on Tuesday, and flip this Senate seat in November. Thanks for all the support, and please get out there and vote.”
The kick-ass staff and doctors at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health are working closely and constantly with our campaign team to ensure there is only one voice speaking on behalf of John. They have been extremely supportive and helpful over the course of the past couple days.
WGAL News 8 will continue to follow this breaking story and will have developments throughout the night.
Yeah, I’d bet drugs too.
Glad he’s better.
unpossible
Sympathy vote stunt?
True, but different for VIPs.
Sounds like Thomas McDermott, mayor of Hammond, Indiana, who is the Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate. He ran an ad of himself over the border in Illinois smoking a joint. His point: it’s legal in Illinois but not in Indiana. It should be legal everywhere. With all of the things going on the country, he runs on that. Rumor has it he likes the harder stuff too. The good news is that Indiana is a safe Republican seat.
No worries, get shot, get clot, get well. Riiiiight!
” Probably eats to much and drinks like a sieve.”
And leaks like a fish?
I’ve asked people, ‘ name ONE person that you know that had covid and died at home’. None, they say. Not one.
The only ones that die, die in the hospital.
He is a Democrat and pretty far to the left for Pennsylvania. He also is likely to win the seat in November unless this new medical issue causes people to think twice about him.
Only 52yo.
EXCESS DEATHS is staying well above where it should be.
The life insurance stories of a few months ago talked about excess deaths being 40% above baseline for the 18-64 year old population!
Three standard deviations is 10%, something that should only happen once in 200 years BUT 40% is FOUR times something that shouldn't happen.
What could be causing all of these deaths in age groups that shouldn't be dying? The math shows it cannot be random variations, something MUST BE KILLING THOUSEANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO SHOULD NOT BE DYING.
another brain dead about to be elected just like Biden.
What a waste of ballots.
Agreed. And Master Gates is salivating at everyone 50 and older getting at least 2 boosters a year.
Totally normal for 53 year old men to have strokes, right?

The vaccine booster doesn’t track you. The phone you’re reading this tweet on, however, is a different story.
Let’s Vax 🆙 Pennsylvania. 💉💪

It is these days.
IN the early days of Covid, I might have dismissed you as a conspiracy theorist. What has happened since has proven you right.
Biden was NOT elected. Stolen elections have consequences, and these scumbag traitors around Biden need bigger walls and more National Guard Troops to continue past 2022 elections. NOT that WE THE PEOPLE are coming to DC to get the scumbags, no, we are patiently waiting for justice.
It appears the plan unfolding is to sweep the House and Senate in November and then start the impeachments and the trials.
If for some reason this madness continues past 4 years, then WE THE PEOPLE will need to do some things called for in the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence (IMHO).
