Sen. John Fetterman’s unsafe driving habits are so alarming that some of his staffers are afraid to get in a car with him when he’s behind the wheel, according to a report.
The Pennsylvania Democrat was cited for extreme speeding at least twice before he plowed into the back of a 62-year-old woman’s vehicle on Sunday, an accident that sent him, his wife Gisele and other driver to the hospital, the Washington Post reported on Thursday.
Fetterman, 54, has also been known to FaceTime and text while driving, behavior that has prompted his staff to implement “an informal practice” of not being in the car with him when he’s driving, for fear of their safety, according to the outlet.
Fetterman’s aides don’t dare send him messages when they know he’s driving because they worry he will try to respond, other sources familiar told the outlet.

Fetterman pleaded guilty in March to driving 34 mph over the speed limit in Westmoreland County, near Pittsburgh, the Washington Post found.
Both vehicles in Sunday’s accident suffered “disabling damage” and were towed from the scene, according to the police report.

I’m no Fetterman fan at all. But over the last year or two I have seen a slew of stories about congressional staffers getting real self important and thinking they need to be heard.
They act like a permanent bureaucracy, a standard issue Government employee, with zero sense that their Congressman or Senator is their employer.
The staffer could be some know it all millennial chick, or one of these modern boys who never even got a drivers license.
Beginning to sound like he hit and went under a bus.
Would they rather take a ride with Joe in his Corvette?
It would go away if he’d just toe the Donkey Party line, more often, and more “purely”.
If he doesn’t do that, he’s got NJ Senator Menendez to look at for an example of what will eventually befall him.
Senator, you can’t be doing that face-timing while driving, especially not during working hours, because then, the government will share in the liability. Another deep pocket to be reached into. Maybe this going public is the Fetterman staff’s revenge for his less than radical beliefs, but that doesn’t take away from the obvious danger. He built that risky driver reputation on his own.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
The I-70/L-68 weave at Hanock, Md, is scary even UNdistracted --speaking from personal experience!
I think Fetterman has said too many rational things recently and they want to get rid of him.
“Face timing”???
I have heard about Facef*ck, but this is a new one.
The democrat world is strange and deperaved...
No doubt an app
“Face Time” is what you wanted with high-level guys because it was usually who you know; not always what you know.
I was telling a friend just a few days ago how I ran into a guy - buying a dozen or so Krispy Kremes (at their store). (probably about 2013 / 2014.
Dude was driving a beautiful brand new red Corvette. About a $56,000-$60,000 car at that time.
Told me he didn’t deserve that car. Told me his secretary bought him that car.
I tried to make use of that random “face time” but to no avail. Darn it.
Setting the stage to “accident” him?
Think career-ending debacles until he's gone.
A common-sense democrat. Heh. Toodles.
See yah.
Bad word here. Sigh.
Bingo

“Fetterman has said too many rational things recently and they want to get rid of him.”
When he was their retarded little brother everything was fine. Now he’s starting to make sense, and they can’t have that!
And nothing will happen to the guy.
Unless Deep State decides to use him pour encourages les autres...
He’s up for reelection in 2029. That’s a long time.
There are enemies inside the wire.
Lol.. They see what we all saw now that he is unapologetically Pro-Israel.
