'Would He Be Able To Perform Job As Senator?' Was Mika Speaking of Herschel, or Fetterman?

During the Pennsylvania Senate race, people who pointed to John Fetterman's patent inability—in light of his major, recent, stroke—to do the job as senator were met by the liberal media with accusations of "ableism," and flat denials that he had any limitations.

It was only after Fetterman won the race that his handlers admitted that he would not be able to respond to direct questions, given the continuing effects of his stroke.

So, when on today's Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski said:

"This is not a matter of left or right. This is a matter of, can he speak to the issues? Does he have a grasp on the issues? Would he be able to perform the job as senator?"

You had to wonder: was Mika talking about Herschel Walker—or John Fetterman?

Herschel might not be the greatest public speaker, but he’s not brain-damaged.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Without a doubt she wasn’t talking about Fetterman, though it should have been him.

Compared to Fetterman, Herschel is freakin’ Demosthenes!

If it wasn’t for double standards, the Left would have no standards at all...

This is almost farce as it presupposes an ability not in evidence.

It is like asking if a new cancer cell will be able to keep up with the others.

No matter what they say, the Senate Democrats will have to get used to Sen. Walker.

The original “Karen”.

Politicians are mainly figureheads who vote as their leadership tells them to. Staffers do the actual work.

Hope you’re right, but I’m not optimistic, unless there’s an unexpected surge of same-day voters.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Exactly. Warnock has voted with Biden 96.4% of the time.

Maybe she was referring Joe’s performance last night but got confused.

[R_Kangel]

..... Well .... Time will tell who wins .... 8 percent of the expected vote reporting tonight ..... Warnock leads Walker statewide 75 percent to 25 percent ....

She knows Festerman is going to be replaced by his wife.

[kvanbrunt2]

Might be a good thing. When they do the roll call votes he can say goodnight and leave.

Mika is an elitist. She considers blacks as children. Or “Chillun.” She looks down her patrician nose at Walker and Warnock. Walker scares her so she supports the thug Warnock,
