Media honeymoon running out for Sloth Fetterman

[berryberry]

Let’s not mince words: Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D) may not be capable of performing the duties required of him if he wins his race for U.S. Senate against Republican Mehmet Oz.

This perspective comes after Fetterman, who suffered a stroke nearly four months ago, seems to be avoiding a debate with Oz before early voting begins on Sept. 19. Pittsburgh’s KDKA-TV had offered to host a debate between the two on Sept. 6, but Fetterman declined.

“As I recover from this stroke and improve my auditory processing and speech, I look forward to continuing to meet with the people of Pennsylvania,” Fetterman said in a statement after the Oz campaign offered to debate in September. “They’ll always know where I stand.”

Actually, voters won’t know where Fetterman stands if he continues to do T-ball interviews with handpicked media members and avoids being challenged directly by Oz in a debate setting.

There are a few things to unpack here. For starters, Fetterman’s campaign has conceded that he struggles with “auditory processing” and speech, which is impossible to avoid in a debate. Stroke recovery can be unpredictable, particularly as it pertains to speech and motor skills; I witnessed this firsthand after my late mother suffered a stroke in her 50s and never fully recovered.

And if Fetterman is still unable to debate his political opponent months after suffering a stroke, how will he debate on the Senate floor and represent the residents of the Keystone State effectively?

In the few interviews Fetterman has done in recent weeks, it’s clear his speech therapy may be a very long road with no assured outcome. He often stumbles and his sentences are sometimes disjointed.

“Send me to Washington, D.C., to send — so I can work with Senator Casey,” Fetterman said at a rally in Pittsburgh recently. “And I can champion the union way of life — in Jersey, excuse me, in D.C. Thank you. Thank you very much. And it’s an honor — I live eight minutes away from here. And when I leave tonight, I got, three miles away, Dr. Oz in his mansion in New Jersey. You’ve got a friend and you have an ally. Send me to Washington, D.C. Thank you very much.”

During interviews, Fetterman also needs the assistance of closed captioning to clearly absorb what the interviewer is saying.

Not long after Fetterman’s unfortunate stroke, his health problems were mostly dismissed by outlets such as the New York Times, which celebrated Fetterman’s social media campaign when he physically was unable to go out on the trail earlier this summer.

The lieutenant governor’s refusal to go one-on-one with Oz in September before mail-in voting begins captured the attention of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in an editorial titled, “Beneath campaign nastiness, legitimate concerns about Fetterman’s health.”

“Voters have a right to know whether their prospective senator can do the job — including handling the give-and-take of a vigorous debate,” the editorial board concluded.

It should be noted that Fetterman has yet to hold a press conference. The liberal Washington Post also is sounding the alarm on Fetterman’s refusal to debate. It recently editorialized:

“Mr. Fetterman is asking voters for a six-year contract without giving them enough information to make sound judgments about whether he’s up for such a demanding job. …Mr. Fetterman should release his medical records for independent review. And he should debate Mr. Oz before voters start casting their ballots.”

As the Post notes, the Fetterman campaign can hardly be trusted on its assurances that the candidate should be able to serve in the Senate if he takes his medication and exercises. That’s the assurance Fetterman’s handlers point to via a doctor’s note written almost four months ago. Medical records should be released for all political candidates seeking office, but especially for someone who is having difficulty recovering from a stroke and who was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy five years ago, which was previously undisclosed.

As for Fetterman following doctor’s orders and taking his medication, he apparently has failed in this regard in the past, according to his cardiologist.

“I had prescribed medications along with improved diet and exercise and asked him to follow up again in the following months,” Dr. Ramesh Chandra explained in May. But, he said, “Instead, I did not see him again until [May of 2022]. John did not go to any doctor for 5 years and did not continue taking his medications.”

As for the status of any debates, Fetterman appears to be attempting to run out the clock.

“We will debate sometime in the middle to end of October,” he said last week, offering no details.

That shouldn’t cut it for Pennsylvania’s voters, however. Time is running out on Fetterman’s excuses not to debate before thousands of votes are cast that could decide a close election.

It seems apparent that Fetterman may struggle in a debate environment. Voters are seeing how a scripted Fetterman is performing. Perhaps his handlers think debates would only raise more questions than answers. But the campaign has run out of excuses: Fetterman must debate or exit the stage entirely.

Still a better choice than ANY Reptard running now. Oz isn't even from this state. Another carpetbagging piece of shit who sells diet pills and other false covid cures. Fucking pathetic. Fetterman isn't a good looking guy, but he can't do as much damage as another MAGA Trumpian synchophant in the office. Fetterman's appeal is that he's an avg Joe who represents the little town and people. He's earned as LT. Gov., the ability to see the larger picture of politics and certainly knows PA's landscape both physically and politically. While he may not be elegant in speech, he does make some points that are important to people who live here, vs. just watching fox news or the like. The programming there would demonize this guy just because they see the political landscape of another loss of a R Vote means no Senate majority. But Oz, like Ronny Jackson who touted a fat lump of shit being physically fit as a fiddle and the best shape of any president ever; despite having suspected lupus, and high cholesterol, and being morbidly obese, with mega-maga bone spurs and such. He's a perfect specimen of small handed men who suffers from sociopathic tendencies.

What won't these doctors tout when you throw enough money in front of them. Oz is another example of a doctor who doesn't know shit from shinola.

Not surprising - a hate filled rant from you that has nothing to do with the topic.

Do you have any comment on Sloth Fetterman being brain damaged and not capable of performing the duties required of him if he wins his race for U.S. Senate against Republican Mehmet Oz.

Do you have any comment on Sloth Fetterman avoiding a debate with Oz before early voting begins on Sept. 19.

Do you have any comment on the fact that voters won’t know where Fetterman stands if he continues to do T-ball interviews with handpicked media members and avoids being challenged directly by Oz?

Do you have any comment on the fact that Fetterman needs the assistance of closed captioning to clearly absorb what someone is saying?

Do you have any comment on the fact that Sloth Fetterman has yet to hold a press conference?

Do you have any comment on the fact that the very liberal Washington Post also sounded the alarm about Sloth Fetterman's brain damage and poor health making him unfit for the Senate?

All I'm saying is, if these are our choices for an election, we're screwed either way.

[Jacuzzme]

I gotta agree, shitty choices. At least Oz isn’t literally brain damaged or have a tumor the size of Rhode Island growing out of his neck.

[Salty Again]

... but THESE ARE the choices that the people
of PA surely voted for.

... So you'll surely need to choose for the two of them.

Indeed Salty - while I would have preferred McCormick or Barnett over Oz, Oz is 1000 times better than brain damaged far left socialist Sloth Fetterman

WRONG ! thats what libtards want to to believe, there is a definitive choice

heres a reality check

if you are happy with the last two years when inflation is skyrocketing . almost 9% , gas prices doubled, thousands crossing the border undocumented , cartels bringing in millions of drugs, crime and disorder on the streets like never before, schools indoctrinating and not teaching, billions of tax dollars wasted on green crap while your heating and utility bills are doubling and 87000 irs agents looking atyou and every money transfer over 600 dollars. then by all means vote for fetishman

he will continue and support for 6 years , i repeat 6 YEARS the policies all stated above and it wont get better it will get worse . get out your checkbook , say by to your 401k , your savings and investments, want to retire in a few , LOL its going up in smoke right now and will be gone if festerman wins

the other candidate , doesnt matter if its oz, ozzie osborne , ozzie and harriet or ozzmosis . they will work for you, americans , not ukraine, not cartels not the irs,not pronouns, not victimhood but for you and put a stop to all it has cost you and all americans the last 2 years.

in otherwords libtards dont want you look at what they have done to our economy and all the above and what its going to cost you and continue to cost you for 6 years look at anything else . because if you dont believe there is a choice then you havent a clue whats going on and whats its going to cost you in the future and whats happening right now.

That is true Salty. Democrats never met a tax they didn't like.

The real question is why do libtards vote for Democrats knowing this? It is either that libtards are lazy ass slugs who don't work and thus love their government handouts - or libtards are too fucking stupid that they vote against their own financial self interest

Unfortunately, Fetterman is likely to win this election even though his policies are horrible for the state. It’s a glaring example of how media manipulation is ruining the country. The guy has absolutely no qualifications, leadership qualities, or even the physical and mental capacity needed for the job. Nobody seems to care because the media is in high gear to run cover his mental disability. It’s not that I have a problem with the disabled, I volunteer and donate an ass-load of money to them, but I wouldn’t want them holding levers of power either. It’s just common sense, not discrimination.

I know several otherwise intelligent people who support his candidacy simply because of how the media has been portraying him, a regular working man in jeans and a sweatshirt, just like them. The truth is that he’s NOTHING like them and makes Sanders look like a right winger. Perception, totally contrived or otherwise, is reality tho and he will get the votes of tens of thousands of people who have no clue about who he is, what he stands for, or the fact that he can barely understand the spoken word.

That is what libtards count on - a corrupt media spreading false messages and an ill-informed electorate.

However more and more people are waking up to the fact that Sloth Fetterman is a brain damaged fraud

PENNSYLVANIA SENATE POLLING TRENDS By Trafalgar Group

August 18
(D) John Fetterman 48.6% (+4.9)
(R) Mehmet Oz 43.5%

September 15
(D) John Fetterman 47.7% (+1.8)
(R) Mehmet Oz 45.9%

3.1 point shift towards Dr. Oz

[eyecu2]

CBS news polls have it a little different:

Fetterman plus 5
Shapiro plus 11

While I do think the Fetterman race is up for grabs, I don't think Mastriano has a snowballs chance of beating Shapiro.

Fetterman likely won't engage in much debate due to whatever reason, as that's not his strength, but he has a very loyal following in the western pa area, and Oz has a little more on the east. It will likely be one of the biggest spends we'll see in a long time for a senate seat. I would prefer other candidates than the carpet bagger or the fester look alike, but here we are. Holy crap did you ever think the choices for this level of a role would be so shitty?
