John Fetterman's Ex-Chief of Staff Sounds Alarm on Senator—'Getting Worse'
Newsweek ^ | May 02, 2025 | Peter Aitken

Posted on 05/02/2025 7:02:44 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Current and former staffers to Democratic Senator Jon Fetterman's raised concerns about his health in an article published by New York Magazine's Intelligencer on Friday, with his former chief-of-staff Adam Jentleson telling a Walter Reed medical director in 2024 that he worried the senator "is on a bad trajectory."

In the article, Fetterman called the various concerns and allegations raised by staffers "past and present" as "disgruntled employees saying things that are either untrue or, so, that's kind of the business that we are in."

Newsweek reached out to Fetterman and Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's office by email on Friday morning for comment.

Why It Matters

Fetterman's health has been a focal point ever since he suffered a stroke just days before winning the primary for Pennsylvania's open Senate seat in the 2022 midterm elections. The former Pennsylvania lieutenant governor went on to defeat Republican Mehmet Oz in a key Senate victory for Democrats despite the concerns about his health.

When he was perceived as a far-Left socialist with extensive brain damage, the Democrats thought he was sharp as a tack and an excellent candidate for US Senate.

Now he appears to be a pretty competent guy who sometimes says nice things about President Trump. In other words, his health is bad, he’s on a bad trajectory, and they need to dump him.

What a laugh. They see him as getting worse at toeing the Democrap party line. They see it and are trying to get in front of him switching parties before he’s finished. Perhaps.

When his mental illness was overcome, he became much more like a Republican.

It is a naturally occurring, well known effect.

How very Soviet of them. He isn’t toeing the line and thus must be mentally ill.

Well he doesnt always 100% go along with the democrat socialist talking points. The Inner Party doesnt like that very much, or at all. Not tolerant of any other positions.

Ironic since psychologists conclude liberlism leads to mental problems. The number of liberal wimin on psych meds is quite high. And liberal femme men. Then add in those not,on meds but need to be.

He’s a bit (a big bit) of a yo yo.

But considering how loony his Rat compadres in congress are and never get called on it, I’ll wager this is simply a hit job to oust an insufficiently compliant party member.

Good. Get him out. PA will vote for a good Republican candidate. Let the left eat this reliable anti-Trump vote, no matter if he makes sense once in a blue moon. He still votes like a marxist POS.

Fetterman is proving that he is not totally pussy-whipped.
