Days after John Fetterman tried to put questions about his health behind him by agreeing to debate his Republican opponent, it’s apparent that the strategy hasn’t put the issue to rest as he had hoped.
The Washington Post’s editorial board sharply criticized Fetterman in an op-ed published Monday, noting that the Pennsylvania Democrat’s recovery from a stroke he suffered in mid-May has been uneven in one of the most critical Senate races in the country this fall.
Here’s the key bit:
Ad Feedback “Since returning to the campaign trail, Mr. Fetterman has been halting in his performances. He stammers, appears confused and keeps his remarks short. He has held no news conferences. Mr. Fetterman acknowledges his difficulties with auditory processing, which make it hard for him to respond quickly to what he’s hearing. He receives speech therapy – and we wish him a speedy, full recovery – but the lingering, unanswered questions about his health, underscored by his hesitation to debate, are unsettling. …
“… Mr. Fetterman is asking voters for a six-year contract without giving them enough information to make sound judgments about whether he’s up for such a demanding job. We have called for full disclosure of health records from candidates for federal office in both parties, including Donald Trump and Joe Biden, and we believe Mr. Fetterman should release his medical records for independent review.”

At its most basic, the choice for voters in any election is: “Can this person effectively do the job for which they are running?” Fetterman, it appears more clear with each passing day, hasn’t cleared that bar yet.

Here’s what we know as of right now: Fetterman has not put questions about his health behind him. Not by a long shot.

Haven’t they heard? Flooding the streets with criminals released early from prison is “sexy.”
“I... need... vote... you!!”
The fact there are people who will vote for a near-invalid just because he’s a Democrat is why we can’t have nice things.
If he has auditory problems then how is he going to do all the phonecalling needed to keep the money flowing from lobbyists?
Is that Uncle Fester and Morticia?
To help keep Schumer’s party in control of the Senate, all Fetterman has to do is get elected, and continue breathing.
Come next January, that’s Senator Idiot for the masses.
In the worst case, if he gets elected but can’t serve, the governor of PA, who may be a Democrat, will select the replacement.
In fact, PA Democrats may be banking on that, for their people to blindly vote for Fetterman because he’s a Democrat, and then vote for the Democrat governor, so that a Democrat governor can appoint Fetterman’s replacement, if needed.
Egads!
i do not hold his physical abilities against him... i do hold the fact that he doesn’t acknowledge his obvious handicap, it shows dishonesty and shallowness.
Adolph Hitler could run against a Republican and a great number of Dims would vote for der Fuhrer.
There’s an alien ready to pop out of his neck
Pennsylvania PING!!!!
Democrats needed a man to make biden look smart. Fetterman is their man.
