‘We Sale Your Bank’: WaPo Reporter Rewrites Disastrous Fetterman Word Salad as a ‘Quote’
PJ Media ^ | 16 May 2023 | Catherine Salgado

Posted on 05/17/2023 4:13:19 AM PDT by Rummyfan

To protect the ever-brilliant Sen. John Frankenstein — er, Fetterman (D-Pa.) — a Washington Post reporter rewrote a muddled Fetterman ramble and posted it as a quote. Apparently, journalism now means covering up government idiocy by pretending an official is actually coherent.

The actual quote: "Shouldn't you have a working requirement after we sale [sic] your bank—er, with billions of your bank? Because they see me [sic] pre-preoccupied when then [sic] SNAP, uh, in the requirements for works [sic] for hungry people, but not about protecting the— protecting tax papers [sic] you know, that will bail the matter [sic] whatever does [sic] about a bank to crash it."

Fetterman was attempting to question the former CEO of the collapsed Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), Greg Becker. The Washington Post’s White House economics reporter Jeff Stein tweeted, “Sen. @JohnFetterman (D-Pa.) to SVB executive Greg Becker: ‘Shouldn’t you have a working requirement after we bail out your bank? Republicans seem to be more preoccupied with SNAP requirements for hungry people than protecting taxpayers that have to bail out these banks.’” The issue? That’s not really what Fetterman said. Not by a long shot.

To the author:
When you're demonstrating how bad original text is by quoting the original text there is no need to add the [sic] annotations to show that it's original text.

"Shouldn't you have a working requirement after we sale your bank—errr, with billions of your bank? Because they see me pre-preoccupied when then SNAP, uh, in the requirements for works for hungry people, but not about protecting the— protecting tax papers you know, that will bail the matter whatever does about a bank to crash it."

On the other hand, if it were Trump, they’d still re-write it but they’d do it to show he was an idiot..

They only need to cover him until August, then Gov Shapiro can appoint his wife to replace him until 2024.

Like with every other profession, especially the medical realm, they have lost their ethical rudder. This is a Constitutionally protected entity, they should have more reverence to the honor of their profession. Something needs to change.

The woke progressive dickheads in my state voted for this brain damaged mental midget. He is a disgrace to people everywhere and yet they still defend him. We will never vote our way out of this type of situation. There are just too many stupid people and Gimmydats. Even if we somehow did vote in sensible, honest (good luck with that) people, the election would be stolen anyway. Look at Diane Feinstein, another totally incoherent person who looks and probably smells like the Crypt Keeper. The woman looks like she’s decomposing. It goes without saying that Joe Biden besides being a criminal is extremely mentally impaired and isn’t really running anything except maybe to the bathroom to have his adult diaper changed. There is no solution in my humble opinion but to sit back and enjoy the show, but be prepared to fight when they bring it.

Fetterman does a fine job representing Pennsylvania. He is who they wanted.

Fetterman can hit Broadway as the new blockbuster star of ‘Waiting for Godot”.

As a former PA resident I sympathize with those living in the areas outside the big blue sh!tholes of Philly and P-burg. Most lean conservative but now have to bear the brunt of shame and ire generated by the incompetence of this mental defective.

Fettermanese is not an easy language to master.

If you are waiting for the fight, it's already over.

Just another keyboard commando that talks tough but hasn't lifted a finger while he is 'enjoying the show'.

Do you carry all the time?

Ever been a poll watcher in an almost all black voting district?

Beside running the keyboard, what have you ever done in this 'preparation'?

Punk WaPo reporter Jeff Stein is from that misbegotten school for Marxists: Cornell.

I don’t understand the focus on the reporter.

What I’ve done in preparation is none of your fu#king business. Your accusation that I’ve never run anything but a keyboard allows me to assume you’re just another progressive asshole trying to bait people into revealing their supposedly subversive intentions. Which agency do you work for by the way. Why would I reveal to you whether I carry all the time? Anyway FOAD, I’m finished with you.
