Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., appears to no longer have the support he once had, with many liberals turning on him following a scathing report focusing on his health.
New York Magazine's Intelligencer published a lengthy piece Friday titled "All By Himself" which says how Fetterman "insists he is in good health" in the wake of a massive stroke he suffered in May 2022, "but staffers past and present say they no longer recognize the man they once knew."
Fetterman, once seen as a progressive darling, has earned fanfare from many moderates and conservatives over his pragmatism on various issues. However, he has made more headlines over his ardent support for Israel following the Oct. 7 terrorist attack by Hamas, which has sparked an outcry from the far-left wing of the Democratic Party, including members of his own staff.
Many conservative critics have taken aim at New York Magazine's "hit piece" and believe Fetterman's backing of Israel, which was prominently disseminated in the report, is the reason why liberals are suddenly abandoning him after rallying behind him on the heels of his stroke during the 2022 midterms.
Tech journalist and podcast host Kara Swisher was one of Fetterman's most vocal defenders after NBC News aired a report shedding light on the severity of his stroke, even taking a personal shot at reporter Dasha Burns (now Politico's White House bureau chief), who spoke about Fetterman's cognitive challenges she witnessed and questioned whether he understood what she was saying in small talk following a rare in-person interview at the time.
"Sorry to say but I talked to @JohnFetterman for over an hour without stop or any aides and this is just nonsense. Maybe this reporter is just bad at small talk," Swisher posted on X in response to Burns.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Liberals are hateful.
They did the same to Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin.
The Democrat/Gaslight Media Criminal Complex doesn’t care about any politician’s competence/incompetence as long as that politician obeys them.
He’s a liberal, but he supports Israel 100 percent which is a doggie no no in the Pro Hamas loving, jew hating Democrat party so they want him out..probably replaced with someone who screams “Death to America”
That’s because they’re of their father satan.
Along with Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
I am only surprised it’s taken this long for large groups to step forward and disavow themselves from Fetterman, a politician they used to admire. Maybe the Wife has given these groups the go-ahead, since she can’t seem to change him ‘back’ either.
He’s being “Lieberman’d”
Then Fetterman is going to have to divorce her.
they aren’t liberals, despite the mass media efforts to call them that
liberals are intelligent, thoughtful, and usually people you can have a very useful discussion with
these leftists are communists, nazis, or other “progressive” types. they hate America. they hate Christians. they hate Jews. they want America and Americans brought down. what they like is power and control over your lives. Liberals never wanted to control your life, indeed it was core liberalism to “live and let live” to the maximum degree possible while still maintaining our society.
Fetterman can now speak many languages and has also transformed into a virtuoso piano player, no piece is too difficult for him
Flying high in April, shot down in May. The fickle “progressives” are an inconsistent and unpredictable element.
John Fetterman, Lord help us, has been the voice of moderation in the Democrat party, and now the Democrat Socialists have cut away even that slender and uncertain link with reality.
“Unhinged” implies that there may have been some sort of anchor to a solid framework in the past, but the integrity of that infrastructure is now smashed asunder. The termites have been active.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Fetterman needs to realize that the "writing is on the wall" so it's time for him to withdraw from the Democratic Party. At this point, he might as well as become an independent and go ahead and caucus with the Republican Party.
the lying corporate propaganda media has their long knives out for fetterman, presumably under orders from the DNC ... from what i can tell, it’s all totally fake news ... i personally like the guy because he has the balls to buck the lockstep insanity of the hard-leftist, fascist Dem Party ... I really hope he survives the attacks ...
he might start by appearing on a bunch of FNC shows to disprove the false claims of his “failing mental state” ...
Somebody is going to run against him in the primaries in 2028 so Fetterman needs to decide on what’s his next move is.
