Why is John Fetterman (D-PA) a Senator? Fetterman flipped once Republican held seat by defeating Dr. Mehmet Oz. Fetterman suffered a massive stroke during his campaign (May 2022). It’s quite obvious that he has not fully recovered by his performance debating Dr. Oz and most recent hospital visit.
He has trouble understanding people and need a computer screen to have words written out for him, like in the debate which many people saw as really painful to watch. He jumbled words, could not form complete sentences. However, Sen Fetterman says he is fully capable of performing his duties as the Democratic Senator from PA.
Jump to February 9, 2023 and Fetterman is back in hospital, this time in D.C. His office states that he has not had stroke or seizure according the MRI and other tests performed. In addition to the stroke he had during the 2022 campaign he had a pacemaker with a defibrillator installed for atrial fibrillation and cardiomyopathy. Then Candidate Fetterman would not release any medical records or allow his doctors to discuss his medical condition.
So, why is John Fetterman a Senator? The Democratic Party propped him up and kept him going instead of insisting he complete extensive physical/occupational therapy. To me allowing him to continue and serve just to keep an extra Senate seat is extremely cruel and insensitive, even borders on criminal in my mind. Again they (Democrats) just want to make sure they have the majority in the Senate, but at what cost? To say they care about his health and well being is laughable. It just to show you how far the left is willing to go to retain power. They are so afraid of being in charge or loosing to someone like Donald Trump they will stop at nothing to keep control.
