NBC Reporter’s Comment About Fetterman Draws Criticism
Newsbreak ^ | 10/14 | David Bauder

An NBC News correspondent who interviewed Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman says an on-air remark she made about him having difficulty following part of their conversation should not be seen as a commentary on his fitness for office after he suffered a stroke.

But reporter Dasha Burns’ comment that Fetterman appeared to have trouble understanding small talk prior to their interview has attracted attention — and Republicans have retweeted it as they seek an advantage in the closely followed Senate race between Fetterman and Republican Mehmet Oz.

He is what he he is and he ain't what he ain't.

Not my first or even second choice, but we got what we got . . .

Go Oz.

She acted like an actual reporter. Although she was only about a quarter as hard on Fetterman as she would have been on Trump.

"...should not be seen as a commentary on his fitness for office after he suffered a stroke."

That's EXACTLY how it should be seen.

The way things work now is only severely damaged individuals may rule others. Normal is bad, and normal people need to shut up be grateful to be left alive.

I blame LSD.

It MUST be what progs take every morning.

They must take it to

” open “ their minds ( more?)

and All that happens

is the brain falls out.

Then they go out and lecture the world.

The narrative is that asking Fetterman to engage in a normal conversation is ‘ableist’ and we can’t have that, can we? Why the poor man is handicapped! You got something against the handicapped? Of course he needs ‘accommodations’, why you’d probably kick the crutches out from a one-legged man! Who says you need to have a fully-functioning brain to write and vote on laws?

Guys...if you live in PA, you gotta vote for Oz. I mean, seriously. I had questions about Oz too. But Fetterman would be a total disaster and would do whatever Schumer says. Can you imagine him giving a Senate speech on the floor, wearing a hoodie and shorts?
