A group of Pennsylvania Republicans are demanding that Democratic Sen. John Fetterman either appear on camera and demonstrate he is still capable of doing his job or, failing that, that he resign from his federal office.
Fetterman has been hospitalized for nearly two weeks due to reported clinical depression; little is known about his status as an inpatient at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, though his staff said on Monday that he is "on a path to recovery."
The Washington County, Pa., Republican Party, meanwhile, said in a Facebook post on Monday that it "refuses to take assurances from the Office of the Senator or Democrat operatives that Fetterman is able to carry out his duties as Senator."
"As such, we call upon Senator Fetterman to appear on camera to show us he is alive and well," the post continued, "and if he is unable to do so, we call upon our elected Representatives in Washington, Senator Casey and Congressman Reschenthaler, to intervene immediately."
"Ultimately, if Fetterman is unable or unwilling to carry out his duties as a United States Senator, then we ask for his resignation and call for a special election to be held this year," the group said.

Politically this could help the GOP in the short term, because if he’s absent from the Senate , that’s one less Democratic vote in the senate for any legislation.
If someone is so depressed he needs to be in a mental hospital he has no business being a Senator. Never mind that thus is likely just a scam to keep the brain dead Fetterman incommunicado.
Here comes the deep fake…
You have it backwards.
Out now- SE
Out later- appointment
Later is in August. A long time to keep a dead dude on a vent.
If they keep pretending Fetterman is alive while he can’t function in office, the Democrats lose a vote in the Senate.
The PA GOP would be better off calling on Fetterman to rest well and never show his face in public for the next six years.
I heard that!
Y’all just so mean. Ask any vegetarian if vegetables have feelings, too.
Proof of life.

“You Doctor Jones, are in a position unsuitable to negotiations.”
Are the deep fakes ready?
He’s probably skiing with Dianne Feinstein.
This will surely happen if he actually gets well enough to serve or allows the governor to appoint a Bob Casey, Jr. lookalike.
The rats only have to run out the clock until mid August. I believe at that point the rat Governor can appoint.
Is this the same Pennsylvania GOP that for the most part refused to get behind and support the Republican candidate for that Senate seat last year? The one the GOP voter’s elected to be the nominee? If so, they have no room to complain or demand anything. The PA GOP moved to the left side of the boat last year and now they are complaining that it is tipping over!
If he’s too sick to show up and vote but stays Senator, isn’t that the best scenario?
With the Bolshevik that we have in the governors office right now, we do not want him appointing anyone…
Special election would be better, but he’ll never let that happen
Get ready for another staging scene.....demorats are notorious for deception.
