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.

Yeah but! All those geniuses in Pennsylvania still have their season tickets and hunting rifles! What else is there?
Repeal the 17th Amendment !
He will probably be the Democratic candidate in 2024 instead of Biden and win with 100 million votes.
Yet he will cast his vote for everyone of them. And he won’t even be aware of what he’s voting for.
Not true.
If Trump, as head of the party, with his selected henchmen, McDaniel, actually learned something from 2020, they would have had a strategy in place to offset the legal ballot harvesting machine utilized by the left.
But Trump and his child genital mutilating gun grabber, Dr Azz had no clue and went into the shredder.
Trump is a 5-time loser as leader of our party and shows no signs of learning a damn thing about how to win post-covid.
“There’s numerous idiots that I work with that voted for this guy…because they felt bad for him and that Oz was “mean”.

Exactly. I also know people that thought OZ wasn’t conservative enough & did not vote for him.
They should stop complaining about Fetterman.
Yp....he had this issue when he was running, they knew then.
All they needed was a “Warm Body” in Fetterman. Place holding.
“Democrat Senator Fetterman Left With ‘Serious Mental’ Issues, Can’t Understand What People Are Saying”
That headline describes the illiterate voters in PA.
Fetterman 2024.
so his wife will take his place like all commie dictatorships ?
Ideal politician. Lets require dementia of all gov’t employees.
White Housewives will vote for him if he is for abortion.
Fetterman lived off of his parents for 45 years and then ran for public office for the benefits. Now he is a Senator he is guaranteed a substantial retirement and all medical expenses at taxpayers expense without any restrictions. He kept his medical problems quiet before his election which is fraud.
Being a senator is the least stressful job there is. Vote the way they tell you, and go to a bunch of parties. No work is required.
We say, "We need to control our borders," they hear "Kill all minorities!!!"
We say, "A thirteen year old is too young to undertake medical gender transition," and they hear "Kill all trans!!!"
We say "Our cities are experiencing a crime wave due to soft-on-crime policies," and they hear "Bring back slavery!!!" I mean, they've all had strokes, far as I can tell.
Bring in the Marxist stunt dummy.
Re #3. The Dems have no problem pushing Fetterman aside and installing his communist wife.
