Donald Trump Jr. mocked Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman as 'brain dead' on Sunday when he took the stage in Miami at his father's Make America Great Again rally.

During his warm-up remarks, Donald Jr. attacked Democrats for rising crime rates throughout the country, including Fetterman for his tenure as mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania.
Like many Republicans, he also suggested Fetterman was not up to the job of senator because of the auditory processing and speech issues he was left with after suffering a stroke in May.
'The Democrats want to release violent offenders,' Donald Jr. said, including 'John Fetterman, the brain dead potential senator from Pennsylvania.'

'I believe that if you're going to be in the United States senator, you should have basic cognitive function,' Donald Jr. said.
The media, they go after me, they say he's an ableist, meaning he's racist against those with disabilities.'
He continued, 'It's not like he's in a wheelchair, and he can think, but he's incapable of forming a sentence.'
It comes after Fetterman accidentally said he was against abortion at a Saturday rally in Philadelphia.
'I run on Roe v. Wade. I celebrate the demise of Roe v. Wade,' the Pennsylvania lieutenant governor said.

'And his comments on Roe v Wade yesterday doesn't seem like he even can do that right,' he said.
'We're up against a Democratic Party today that doesn't believe that a United States senator should not have mush for brains.'
Fetterman, who is going head-to-head with celebrity doctor Dr. Mehmet Oz, may well have been trying to say his opponent 'celebrates the demise of Roe v. Wade.'

That said, I hope Oz wins by a landslide.
Between this and the father calling JD Vance an ass kisser just recently, there a point in time to shut up and watch what you say
Being polite often leads to the point being lost on theose listening.
At some point, you have to communicate in a language that resonates with the audience. Dems do this all the time, but the media covers for them. I’m less worried about the “that was rude” aspect than getting the voters to recognize the blatant hypocrisy of dems complaining that a republican dared to follow their lead.
NO... lol.
This is one thing I absolutely love about this family - they just say what every normal person is thinking.
Fetterman is a babbling mao-mao. He has no business running for office. Everyone knows it, nobody says it.
Ditto.
Unnecessary and juvenile.
You are wimps. The truth hurts, but it is the truth.
His brains are applesauce
Maybe not the best choice of words....but he’s right....the guy is sick...his brain is messed up...and he will probably be much happier taking the loss. He simply can’t function mentally.
Yeah trump should be taking the high road here. Festerman’s down, there’s no reason to kick him in face.
Exactly, our side doesn’t use ridicule nearly enough.
Someone’s “cruelly” is my “honestly”.
There’s no guarantee that Fetterman is down. Don’t assume anything until it’s over.
Oh shut up. He is just telling the truth. Trumps are not the only ones saying this. People are commenting all over the place just the same.
Fetterman should not be running and that means that since he is, he doesn’t get a pass.
The Dems only care about Fetterman’s finger.
Considering all of the nasty quotes from the media and left concerning President Trump and his family over the last several, the whiners can Pound Sand.
ESAD commies!
He had mush for brains long before his stroke in terms of his political beliefs … but OZ is a joke as well
Neither of those two should be allowed to run for dog catcher let alone be anywhere near the Senate..
Your spouse and your employees must love being around you.
Uh no.
Shrinking violets are not patriots - not usually.
Yup. I am fabulous. Festerman is an insult to voters.
Democrats have said much worse about Trump and his family. One was, “Line ‘em up like the Romanovs”. Then there was Henry Fonda talking about Baron Trump being thrown into cages with illegals who were pedophiles. Was it nice of Eric Trump to say that, no, but I’m not going to get the vapors over it as they expect when they have said much worse.
