Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) opened up about his first six months in Congress and did not hold back about how the institution functions.
“There’s a fixation on a lot of dumb s—. Bad performance art is really what it gets down to,” Fetterman said in an interview with The New York Times.
The freshman senator said everything in Washington is turning into a “culture war,” adding that not everything “has to be a think piece.”
Specifically pointing to the debt ceiling, he claimed here shouldn’t have been drama.
“The fact that we’re playing with something like that is antithetical to the stability of our democracy,” he argued, calling everyone in Washington “cynical.” Senator Fetterman discharged from hospital, no signs of stroke or seizure
“But we can fight for things that are meaningful,” Fetterman said, adding “We’re fighting for women’s reproductive freedom, making sure we have resources and support our unions. I’m going to fight for what’s really important.”
Fetterman also opened up about being away from his family all the time for his job.
“You realize when you become a senator, you’re going to be spending 50 percent less time with the people that you love,” the Pennsylvania senator said. “That breaks my heart.”
“I get emotional thinking about it,” he added. “FaceTime is much better than just a phone call, but that’s the worst part of the job.”
His remarks come months after he checked himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for clinical depression earlier this year. He left his rehab program at the end of March.
Fetterman said “it’s a burden, but a privilege, too” to talk about his mental health struggles.
“It’s also an opportunity to be very bipartisan. Red or blue, if you have depression, get help, please,” Fetterman said. “Don’t ever, ever, ever harm yourself. Do not leave behind a blueprint of that.”

Six months. What would we have done without Fetterman?
Oh how I wish we could find out.
OMGOODNESS, a lucid thought!
RE: support our unions
We’re doing our part through higher prices, supply chain problems, barely averted danger of UPS and earlier strikes and promoting inefficiency in the economy. And unions donate 99% of the union “education” money to all Dem campaigns.
What’s not to like?
“Senator Fetterman discharged from hospital, no signs of stroke or seizure”
Liar ABC.
He hates being away from his byatch wife...cry me a river. Be a God Damned man.
On another note, mark my words, he’ll be the dem nominee at some point. 2028.
“Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) opened up”
What did that consist of? Some kind of new Morse code consisting of....ugh..herump..ugh..ugh? I guess only Marxist Media can decipher it.
Let’s see the unedited video.
Obviously they translated for him.
Cause he doesn’t have a heart or a brain.
Yuppers
Back to stupid Cat Videos.
I don’t believe he said any of this. I’ve seen him (attempt to) speak.
That moron hasn’t even been coherent for 6 months
The results of running a carpetbagging fraud for senate as a Republican in PA?
The results of the establishment telling you a true candidate who actually would connect couldn’t win and attacking her harder than they have any democrat?
The result is this.
And for the record I doubt highly Fetterman can even get the word antithetical out with his issues.
The blind squirrel found the nut. I think Lurch actually got this one right.
Scott Pernell this time.
Scott Pernell this time.
I thought his name was Fetterman...not Dumb S***
