Fetterman-Setting the Stage for Heroic Decision to Leave the Senate? YJCMTSU!

2023-02-11

[DailyCaller] A top aide to Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman said Friday his senate campaign might have caused permanent brain damage, contradicting a letter Fetterman’s doctor wrote that said he “can work full duty in public office.”

Everybody knew. Nobody, including his wife, cared.

According to a report in the New Yew York Times, Fetterman has been struggling to adjust to his new life as a U.S. Senator. Fetterman, who was hospitalized Wednesday after feeling lightheaded at a Senate retreat, has reportedly been frustrated with the fact he might have “set himself back permanently” by not resting enough after his stroke.

The report says Fetterman is accepting he might have permanent brain damage. The Times also noted that those close to him are worrying he is still pushing himself too much and that it could be “detrimental.”

In October, Fetterman’s doctor Dr. Clifford Chen and campaign donor wrote that his “physical exam was normal.”

“His lung exam was clear, heart rate was regular, and his strength was normal in all four extremities without any strength or coordination deficits,” the letter stated.

However, Fetterman’s Chief of Staff, Adam Jentleson, told the Times that Fetterman’s recovery might not be as smooth as expected.

“What you’re supposed to do to recover from this is do as little as possible,” Jentleson said, contradicting what Fetterman’s doctor wrote in the letter. Fetterman “was forced to do as much as possible — he had to get back to the campaign trail. It’s hard to claw that back,” he added.

#14 He hid from cameras while the Dems pushed their folks to vote by mail. By the time the rubes realized he was a mess and it wasn't conservative disinformation it was too late.

Mail in voting must go.

#11 I must assume the voters in Pennsylvania saw this coming and figured it would still be better than Oz. Doesn't say much for Oz.

#10 Tony Science as a "Dr." is maybe one step ahead of that commie slob Tedros running the WHO.

#9 There is a reason Biden addressed his wife - and not himself when they met.

#5 Well for those who keep on harping about repealing the 17th Amendment, watch as you get what you wanted. Election will have meant nothing and the controlling party will appoint the political hack of their choice.

What's Biden's excuse?
Maybe this will start trending.

#3 The first Senator elected with a self destruct mechanism installed and running. Can’t wait to see his replacement.

#2 If his recovery requires him to do as little as possible, the Senate is the perfect place for him!
