Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has been left with “serious mental health” issues and often cannot understand the words that others are saying to him following the stroke that nearly killed him last year.
The New York Times reported that Fetterman has to use live audio-to-text transcription for everything that he does.
The report said that Fetterman’s struggles are significantly worse when he is under any kind of stress.
Fetterman has indicated that when he’s under stress, trying to understand what other people are saying is like “trying to make out the muffled voice of the teacher in the ‘Peanuts’ cartoon, whose words could never be deciphered,” the report said.
The report comes following Fetterman’s hospitalization this week after feeling lightheaded at a Democrat Senate retreat.
Fetterman’s staff claimed that doctors said that he did not have another stroke and that they were checking for signs of seizures.
The report noted that the stroke last year has taken a “very real psychological toll” on him and that he has “had to come to terms with the fact that he may have set himself back permanently by not taking the recommended amount of rest during the campaign.”
Fetterman’s campaign released a statement Friday evening claiming that medical tests from his most recent health episode came back negative.
“A few minutes ago, Senator John Fetterman was discharged from The George Washington University Hospital,” the statement said. “In addition to the CT, CTA, and MRI tests ruling out a stroke, his EEG test results came back normal, with no evidence of seizures.”
“John is looking forward to spending some time with his family and returning to the Senate on Monday,” the statement added.
Americans have been dumped down just like the movie idiocracy.
Meant to say Trump and Oz.
My state voted for this brain-damaged idiot knowing he had these issues. We’re stuck with him.
This past fall we were driving thru Harrisburg on a tour and they had shut down a bridge to one lane that had four major arteries feeding it. This was on a holiday, three day weekend. I now understand how Pennsylvania elected this mental giant.
Everything is going accordingly to plan, now he can resign and the Brazilian Marxist will take his place.
Morons, may they get everything they deserve, good and hard.
So just like before
Too many Conservatives are impatient and demand change now.
Forgetting it took over 60 years to get the political state we are in now and it is going to take years to change it back.
Sometimes you have to hold your nose and take the lesser of two evils, if anything, just to slow the bleeding, regroup and try again later.
Letting perfect be the enemy of good is not a sound strategy.
We all abhor Rhinos but let’s be honest without those Rhinos and especially McConnell, the Supreme Court would include Merrick Garland and imagine how bad things would be if that were the case.
They don’t have a problem electing fully dead ones either
Of course, half of that electorate is dead themselves. Lots of families fight over long dead grandma and grandpa’s voter registration cards.
Yup. The right won’t crawl over broken glass naked in a snow storm for a bad candidate
The left doesn’t even need to show up. Someone will cast their vote for them.
That wouldn’t be enough. Huge numbers of blue collar idiots voted for him.
Fetterman left with Serious Mental Issues and cannot understand what people are saying following stroke. The perfect Democrat.
He should run for president then
Democrats prefer selecting to electing.He will resign and the Mrs. will be selected.
The pretense of impartiality left the room in about 1960.
The media—the people involved in the dissemination of information—are actively working to take away the freedom of the citizens of this country. Actively and with prejudice.
Not for long. At the rate he’s going he’ll be dead soon.
But his replacement will be much worse.
Well then, he fits in perfectly as a US Senator.
We “elected” a senile old coot as President and put him in charge of our nuclear arsenal so what’s the problem with Fetterman as Senator?
Keystoners, thank you for what you sent to us. Nice going...
