No, that's not a typo

I don’t want to say the John Fetterman campaign is getting desperate, because by now that should be obvious.

Yesterday Fetterman released this letter, which is being falsely billed by journos as a “medical report”:

This isn’t a medical report, just like that letter from Trump’s quack doctor wasn’t a medical report. If you didn’t buy that cynical ploy then, why would you buy it now?

“But this note is from a real doctor, not some partisan hack,” you protest. Oh, really?

Dr. Clifford Chen, everybody:

According to campaign finance records, Chen has given tens of thousands of dollars over the years to Democratic candidates and party committees. He contributed $1,330 to Fetterman’s campaign, including a $500 donation in June 2021, before he became Fetterman’s doctor.

Sounds like Dr. Chen has a vested interest in the success of the Fetterman campaign.

If Fetterman wants to clear this up, he should get on a live TV camera and explain what’s going on here. He should be able to do that with no difficulty… if Dr. Chen is telling the truth.

That’s what I thought.
