Fetterman Blames the Closed Captioning System on His Disastrous Debate Performance, Debate Host Responds With Fire

Last night’s debate between John Fetterman and Mehmet Oz was something new for me as a political observer and commentator. Truly, I had never seen anything like it. It was so disastrous and so scandalous, that it might end up being the most consequential debate for a major candidate in modern history.

By the time the hour ended, an exceedingly short time for a debate, it was clear that the Fetterman campaign, Fetterman’s wife, and the mainstream media had been outright lying about just how bad the Democrat’s condition was. To say he could not speak coherently is putting things lightly, and unless you actually watch what transpired, you can’t possibly grasp how bad it was.

Here’s just a small taste.

Now, the Fetterman campaign is desperately searching for an excuse for what transpired, and as of late Tuesday evening, they settled on blaming the closed captioning system. Yes, despite the fact that Fetterman was given a 70-inch television screen to read questions and answers from even though he is not hard of hearing at all, the best his campaign could come up with was to blame that incredible concession for his woes.

That via The New York Post.

“We are thrilled with John’s performance. He did remarkably well tonight – especially when you consider that he’s still recovering from a stroke and was working off of delayed captions filled with errors,” Fetterman communications director Joe Calvello told reporters.

“John won countless exchanges, counter-punched aggressively, and pushed back on Oz’s cruelty and attacks,” Calvello said.

Putting a capital "D" on '-elusional'. At least his wife is available to replace him if he wins. Which is hard to believe that he is even in the running. Come on Penn staters.........

The debate limited discussion to 30 seconds and 15 second responses. This was to favor Fetterman who can’t hold a thought any better then Biden.

The newly elected Governor can replace a Senator that retires, dies, or elected dropout with anyone he chooses, from any party.

I’m not certain what happens if an elected, but not seated, Senator drops out.

Democrats ALWAYS blame another person, place or thing for their abject failures. ALWAYS!

That’s also a vacancy requiring an appointment.

Someone that one knows, passes word that on the American Speech and Hearing Association (ASHA) Facebook page, which is run by a posse of eastern leftists, Fetterman”s “use of adaptive technology” has been regaled as something historic, and those who post dissenting opinions quickly get shouted down.

One would wonder what they’re saying now.

Agreed. The pace was unreasonably swift. Totally in Fester’s favor but he still crashed and burned.

But by whom?

The existing Gov, or the new Gov?

Democrats and their propagandists in the MSM have avidly embraced dementia and lunacy in their politicians. Given their unabashed support of the demented, corrupt Biden and his green lunatic cabal, it is no surprise that they see no problem with Fetterman.

I think that happened 15 or so years ago in...Missouri? He died in a plane crash IIRC? The governor appointed his wife.

The poor debate performance by Fetterman will NOT sway the democrat voter. The vast majority of rats are on welfare or in prison or living under a bridge. These freeloaders do not watch political debates. They will only vote for whomever promises to give them more freebies or outright pays them 50 bucks in cash to go vote. I’m talking about those ghetto blasters in the hood who are bused to the precincts after the street “reverend” is given walking-around money by the party leaders. The will vote for the communist Fetterman over ANYONE else!

Just as I expected, any of the GOP primary winners would beat Fetterman. Oz was the worst candidate and has kept Fetterman in contention. This race should have been over 6 months ago.

I would have loved to tap into his earpiece to hear that conversation. Wait, turns out their is a transcript:

Campaign Manager (CM) OK Fets, you got this buddy!!! Just be a warm body and let the mail in vote drop at 3AM carry you home.

Fetterman: Is that you God, I told you not yet!!

CM: Yes Fets, its God, do as I say and I’ll let you stay a little longer. Just until you are sworn in and we can get the dem Gov to appoint your replacement.

Fets: OK.

CM: Here we go, lead off with Creduites. Hit that hard. Oz hates WaWa and Pennsylvanians love WaWa No, not credits, CRED U as in YOU, EATS

Fets (to the moderator): Oz wouldn’t give me credits for my treats.

CM: CRED. YOU EATS dumbass.

Fets: Sorry God

Moderator: Who are you talking to.

CM: I’m apologizing to God for the GOP not doing better than Oz

Fets to the Mod: I am sorry for God not being for abortion.

CM: We will hit abortion later. Will you please focus and listen to me. Did you take your meds?!?!. Go with tough on crime when you were mayor of Braddock.

Fets to Mod: I was taking meds when crime was hitting Brad’s Dock. And I love chasing colored people with shotguns. Better and hunting deer.

Oz: Are you ok, do you need a doctor. I am one.

CM: Ok, reset here. We are off to a rough start. Let’s hit the whole Oz doesn’t live in PA thing.

Fets: Eff you Ox go back to New Place where you live and not here like me.

Moderator: Ok

CM: It’s OZ, Ohhhh, Zeee, OZ, not Ox. An Ox is an animal. While it may be cute if you were lucid, its just creepy. Keep it simple man!!!

Fets to Moderator: Sorry, Oz lives with an Ox in a state with people. And abortion is good. I like abortion when my wife is sleeping

CM: I quit buddy, you are on your own.

What about the other demographic of rat voters - the Affluent White Female Liberals (AWFLs)?
