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.

I have to admit, I thought the moderators were fair.

It seems blindingly clear to me that the Democrats are trying to transform America to China-style politics.

Hillary did not campaign at all. She expected to cheat her way in.

Biden did not campaign, either. He is a vegetable, and those hiding behind him and running the country are not even identified.

Fetterman is a candidate who cannot win, but nonetheless may yet win. He likely will not even be the Democrat serving in the Senate, if he does win.

The Democrats want to make the American vote irrelevant. This is how you do it.

Being a Democrat means that nothing is ever your fault.

Just as I expected, any of the GOP primary winners would beat Fetterman. Oz was the worst candidate and has kept Fetterman in contention.

You just weakened your own argument in the paragraph above...Democrat voters will vote for any Democrat on the ticket...putting up a different Republican is not going to change the minds of those Democrat cult voters - PERIOD!

Having a different Republican candidate would only affect the brain-dead Republicans (those who think voting for a Democrat will make the Republicans be different) and the brain-dead independents (who typically break Democrat in most Democrat-controlled cities and states for the same reason those cultist Democrat voters...the "independent" gimmebdats say they want freedom, less crime, etc..., but most come back to Sugar Sam for their basics)!

‘To not do so would set a precedent that essentially says the mental capacity of public officials simply doesn’t matter, and it absolutely does.’

meh; stupid people have been in governments since humans figured out what govenment was...

True Democrats will believe it and vote for him.

“Hello, goodnight.”

Is that the kind of “delayed captions filled with errors” they’re talking about?

",,,,,At least his wife is available to replace him if he wins. ,,,,"

I think that's the plan all along. Jill started that trend.

The Q & A around fracking was quite disturbing. I imagine if he were elected he could reverse any position at any time and people would be fine with that? How would you distinguish that from a liar?

I would have loved to tap into his earpiece to hear that conversation. Wait, turns out their is a transcript:
Fetterman: Is that you God, I told you not yet!!

~~~

"Kent. Stop Playing with yourself!"

God! It really is you!"

It would have to be the new governor, since technically there is no vacancy as long as the existing Senator is still serving.

The vacancy won't occur until the new Senate is sworn in and Pennsylvania is short a Senator.
