A video clip of remarks made during a Labor Day speech in Pennsylvania by U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman (D-PA) has added additional fuel to the controversy surrounding his fitness for office following his stroke earlier this year.
The clip comes as Fetterman avoided the campaign trail for most of the summer and has repeatedly sought to wiggle out of having to debate his opponent, U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz (R-PA).
“Send me to Washington, D.C., to send–, so I can work with Senator Casey,” Fetterman said during his speech on Monday. “And I can champion the union way of life–, in Jersey, excuse me in D.C. Thank you. Thank you very much. And it’s an honor–, I live eight minutes away from here. And when I leave tonight, I got three miles away, Dr. Oz in his mansion in New Jersey, you’ve got a friend and you have an ally. Send me to Washington, D.C.”
“Fetterman had a stroke and absolutely cannot debate anyone,” former Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell said in response to the clip. “His staffers’ strategy is to hide him – and fake it to put one over on the people of Pennsylvania.”
“Dude, this guy is a wreck,” attorney and columnist Kurt Schlichter responded.
“Can you imagine the breathless @brianstelter et al. commentary about this, had Trump or some other Republican spoken like this?” reporter Jim Stinson said.

Fetterman can barely even talk. This is just sad. pic.twitter.com/KDYIqrkqj0— American Firebrand (@FirebrandPAC) September 6, 2022
WTF.
Walking a tight wire here, FRiends. One cannot hold a candidate with health issues to account. You know this is a delicate situation. Kid gloves, imho.
Perfect democrat.
All he has to do is say, “Aye” or “Nay” to vote whatever way he’s told.
You forgot that sarcasm mark. Oh, you were serious and don’t know what you are talkng about.
Sorry to say this but it wasn’t bad…short but not too bad. Lost his train of thought for a second and then continued. He got a small 🥊 at Oz though.
Lost his train about 4 times.
That’s 4 times he lost it in less than a minute.
I don’t get a rat’s patoutie about his health....he’s an EVIL DEMONIC DEMOCRAT, and a JEW with TATTOOS!! HUGE NO NO!
He’s got Bidenitis! OMG it’s contagious! Look, I know it’s in poor taste to ridicule the mentally impaired, but when they want to start making life decisions, MY life decisions, they are inviting it.
Well, considering the dems used biden to take office of president, this probably isn’t a problem for them.

Perfect VP for Dark Brandon!
Doesn’t matter. The Democrat Party could run a dead man and win. In fact...it did exactly that once.
We should give the guy a chance because he’s never had a real job.
It will. Biden held 14 campaign events in September 2020 and spoke at rallies for longer than a minute. He also agreed to 3 debates. Fetterman can’t do any of that. This will be a deathblow to Fetterman.
You are right. It can seem callous & cynical. Democrats “love” victims. He is a victim of a terrible medical issue. They are so nuts they might rally around him if they think Oz is being mean.
“Can you imagine the breathless @brianstelter et al. commentary about this, had Trump or some other Republican spoken like this?”
The comparison doesn’t work. Biden held 14 events outside his home in September and could debate. Fetterman sits at home and comes out once a week, speaks for 1 minute and shows that he cannot talk, and cannot agree to any debates.
I wish he was like this. It’s not even close.
No debate does make it hard for the fake news to act like he’s normal and great.
