Is John Fetterman Transitioning?
The Federalist ^ | OCTOBER 11, 2022 | EDDIE SCARRY

Posted on 10/11/2022 11:14:03 AM PDT by conservative98

There seems to be a major undertaking by John Fetterman’s Senate campaign to make the candidate appear softer than what’s currently put out by his Elephant Man aura. The attempt climaxed this week with an exhausting profile in New York Magazine that would leave readers wondering — is Fetterman coming out as transgender?

Seriously. That’s how hard the 5,000-word feature and its author, Rebecca Traister, worked to turn this hulking meat sack of a Pennsylvania Democrat into something resembling a soft touch.

A recurring theme throughout the piece is that Fetterman’s opponent, Republican candidate Mehmet Oz, has aggressively and unfairly attacked him as “weak or radical or dishonest or unhinged or stupid” (Traister’s words). But it’s the article itself that inadvertently does the job.

Traister portrays Fetterman as the ultimate victim, a man of “indestructible guy-ness” who nonetheless suffered a near-fatal stroke and who was then forced to endure his physical recovery answering for it. “[T]he New York Times and the Washington Post have echoed the Oz campaign’s suggestions that Fetterman is hiding something about his fitness to serve,” she wrote, “running editorials pressing him to do more than the single debate scheduled for October 25 and for the release of further medical records.”

You see, it’s not a legitimate concern that a 53-year-old running for U.S. Senate was incapacitated for months. That, to Fetterman fangirl Traister, is foul play “coming from Oz’s camp.”

Traister also writes how similar Fetterman is to her brother, who just so happens to also be a fan of—Fetterman!

All accurate and on-point.

Usually it is the Republicans who are emasculated when they become senators.

“...appear softer than what’s currently put out by his Elephant Man aura.”

Now that’s a real challenge.

A transitioned Fetterman would be perfect as the newest cohost on “The View”, other than he might not be liberal enough to keep up with Whoopie Cushion and Joyless.
