ABC: Did Fetterman's return to the PA senate campaign trail spook supporters?
Hot Air ^ | 8/15/2022 | Ed Morrissey

It has become clear that Fetterman’s injury was much more severe than his campaign let on.

A very dicey performance left some of his followers concerned that Fetterman may not be up for the election — and that his condition is worse than they were led to believe, ABC News reports.

Dressed in a hoodie and flanked by his wife at a convention center in Erie, Fetterman discussed his stroke and threw jabs at his opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz, in front of an energized crowd of 1,300 people.

The lieutenant governor briefly paused in the middle of several sentences and sometimes repeated words.

This performance raised questions in the minds of Fetterman’s fans as well as those who might oppose his bid.

Some attendees told ABC News they believed Fetterman did not look fully healthy.

Mark Rathi, 62, of Crawford County, said the candidate “seemed a little bit off his game” before adding that he supported Fetterman because of how he connects with people.

Bob Nierakto, 81, of Erie, said he was “disappointed” at Fetterman’s lack of energy.

“It doesn’t matter why he lacked the energy. He just has to have it,” he said. “I was looking for the fire, I was looking for the passion, I was looking for the enthusiasm, and I was looking for him to nail it. And he didn’t nail it,” said Nierakto, adding that he was committed to voting for Fetterman in November.

Fetterman’s speech and his lack of coherence in these clips were enough to alarm the voters who came out to this rally, who are already inclined to support him.

If Fetterman continues to make public appearances where he can’t remain coherent through a speech, his campaign will face some hard questions about whether he’s healthy enough to run, let alone serve.

All he has to do is hide in the basement and let the DNC Vote Fraud Machine do its thing in November.

Exactly...He’ll be a useful puppet, just like the guy in the White House.

Will he be any different than when they made sure Thad Cochran was re-elected? The poor guy couldn’t even get around the Capitol without being shown the way by staffers. That was truly sad.

Nierakto will vote for Fetterman in November even if Fetterman dies.

The Dems just need a figurehead to run Pennsylvania - the puppet doesn't need to be alive.

Nobody stopped the rats when they manufactured votes for the last vegetable. Why should their strategy be any different for this one.

Sheesh, use the Biden tactic - NO talking in public.

“adding that he was committed to voting for Fetterman in November”

The guy could be dead in a box, and they wil still vote for him.

The Left is nothing more that Power, by any means necessary.
They hate you and want you gone.
The two sides will never be able to live peacefully.

It’s time to talk about scheduling a debate. He will most likely decline, but that decision will by itself fuel suspicion on his state of readiness.

Government of the puppets, by the puppets and for the puppeteers.

Lack of energy and coherence seems to be the hallmark for Communist candidates these days.

He will still win because he is one of them. Oz is not one of them.

Fetterman could be brain dead and living on a respirator. They’ll just keep him in a basement and roll him out in front of the cameras a few times like Biden. The fix is already in, and they’ll just stuff ballots again like in 2020. No Republican will ever win any statewide office in PA again.

The Party just decided to skip the intervening 60 years and move straight to the Brezhnev era of massive corruption, senile oligarchy and economic stagnation.

Yeah right. Biden was bursting with passion and energy during the campaign /S

Actually Biden was hiding in his basement wearing a burqua.
Good thing there were no Arab men visiting him.

Sadly....and, at every level.

DC...all the donors, Wall St, K Street and the Soros’, Gates’, Schwab, NWO, Bilderberg types.

State and Local .... all the developers, corporations that want to move to tax friendly states with tax packages, free money and Right to Work laws so they don’t have to pay for union stuff.

Disgusting, really!

I thought that Oz challenged him to five debates but was turned down. That was 3 days ago.
