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.

WOULD his death be considered resigning by Dems? :)
THEY ABSOLUTELY CANNOT COUNT ANY VOTES “FROM HIM”.
CLOSET REPRESNTATIVES THIS IS THE NEXT PHASE
A DEMOCRAT retard.
But he could still vote for Rats, so there is that.
Well, at least there is no way they can find a double for him.
“Sorry, but you are the “bottom” in this relationship you entered into with the Democrats, PA Republican party.”
And when the Dems are on the bottom they pitch a freakin’ bitch and NEVER back up.
“You only WISH the Pennsylvania Republican Party ...”
Now, if Fetterman should shuffle off this mortal coil, just days after whatever deadline (no pun intended) in PA election laws, well, that will be interesting to watch.
Despite being absent, Mark Kirk was demonstrably alive, had cognitave function, gave interviews and people knew he was alive.
The same cannot be said for Fetterman.
Abel-ists.
Obviously, this punk was never fit to serve. Why are we providing Walter Reed care for these pukes? I say no elected official except our President can/should use Walter Reed unless he/she is former/retired military. While on the Andrews AFB runway from the 7th Field Hosp.in Japan I was not offered Waler Reed. Why the hell are we letting these pukes use our best military hospital? Our military deserves the best. Not punks like Fetterman.
eyewash
or tempest in a teapot
or much todo over nothing
or RINO bs
f he is bran dead how can he resign? If he is brain dead he will quite possibly retain his seat and continue to vote the Democrat positions.
His wife goes to Canada while her husband is hospitalized for depression? This story stinks on ice. If he is in a vegetative state I could understand this. If my wife was severely ill with depression I would be at her side to comfort and support her. As mentioned, this stinks.
Yep. This is a scam. He’s comatose from a stroke. In a mental hospital they can easily refuse visitors. That’s complete BS but for some reason shrinks have been given such dictatorial powers.
“on a path to recovery” only means he’s still alive. Beyond that, a meaningless statement.
What makes you think Shapiro would appoint a Repub to replace him?
Don Henley, in a moment of sanity, penned a few great lines that apply, here:
Can we film the operation? Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry
Kick ‘em when they’re up
Kick ‘em when they’re down
Kick ‘em when they’re up
Kick ‘em when they’re down
Kick ‘em when they’re up
Kick ‘em when they’re down
Kick ‘em when they’re stiff
Kick ‘em all around
Shapiro has no say - if Fetterman resigns before August. It goes to a special election.
Pennsylvania Ping!
