Newly elected Sen. John Fetterman has described his severe hearing disability as causing him to hear the voice of the teacher from the "Peanuts" cartoon when listening to people speak, the New York Times reported.

Fetterman suffered a stroke in May 2022 while campaigning for Pennsylvania's open Senate seat, causing him to have cognitive issues, including a problem with auditory processing.

The senator, who is in the hospital after experiencing lightheadedness Wednesday, has also struggled to adjust to life in the Senate, given the challenges of recovering from his stroke and the need for technological tools to help him conduct conversations with staff and colleagues.

And since if we are to believe the democrats that there is no cheating in elections in PA, then Pennsylvanians were stupid enough to elect a mentally incapable individual to represent them. Just like they elected a dememted perv for president. Yup, Penneyvanians are real sharp people.

Fetterman and Biden are what happens when massive voter fraud is tolerated.

My wife (she is a therapist) has worked with many stroke patients. She has stated that six months is the normal recovery period. Festus is past that point, and likely will not improve beyond where he is at now.

THIS is what America’s come to! The “crazy” is evident. The “normal” is a forgotten memory!

Even the liberal doctors on the legacy media were saying that. In fact one was saying months ago that he's at where he'll be right now.

Most problems have already been predicted by people who were ignored.

I’m still speechless though.

Way to go, Pennsylvania....way to go.

You're assuming PA really did elect Fetterman.

Every news outlet knew this a month before the election. Getting the rat elected is what matters and that is all that matters.

It was never about running fetterman it was about keeping the sheet and retaining power by any and all means.
