The Dems Are Using Fetterman Like a Puppet

Schrödinger's CAT scan

I’ve made plenty of jokes about John Fetterman, because it was completely ridiculous that a self-evidently unfit stroke victim was running for the Senate. He could barely walk, let alone run. Fortunately for the Dems, their opponents ran a quack doctor from Oprah, so Fetterman won even though he couldn’t form complete sentences.

They all pretended this was okay:

Daily Caller @DailyCaller

"What qualifies you to be a U.S. Senator?" Fetterman: "Hi, good night everybody."

If you asked how the hell this guy was supposed to function as a United States senator, you were branded “ableist.” If you were a journalist who reported that he can’t hold a conversation anymore, your own colleagues tried to drum you out of the business.

The Dems all banded together and pushed this guy into the Senate, instead of allowing him to recover from a near-fatal stroke. They did this to him.

And now guess who they’re blaming?

Quieter Senate gives Fetterman recovery room. No timetable on his return and no pressure from leaders “Let him get well,” Whip Durbin says. “I wish that his critics would show a little bit of humanity” ⁦@marianne_levine⁩ ⁦@DaniellaMicaela⁩

Well, Dick, we’re not the ones who pushed a stroke victim to run for the Senate instead of recovering. That’s on you, Dick.

And now, incredibly:

Pennsylvania Capital-Star @PennCapitalStar

U.S. Sens. Bob Casey and John Fetterman of Pa. have joined a bipartisan group of senators to introduce legislation aimed at preventing future freight train derailments like the one last month in East Palestine, Ohio. Story by @SocialKimLy

Bob Casey and John Fetterman of Pennsylvania joined a bipartisan group of senators on Wednesday introducing new legislation aimed at preventing future freight train derailments like the one last month in East Palestine, Ohio.

John Fetterman joined a bipartisan group, did he? Has anybody told him yet?

So now, Fetterman is both a hospitalized invalid and an active U.S. senator. They must’ve given him Schrödinger’s CAT scan.

And Fetterman’s malignant chief of staff (and former Harry Reid hatchet man) is trying to blame the people who warned him this would happen:

There has been an uptick in ugliness from the right but as a window into how disconnected that junk is, and to give a sense of what is motivating those who bother to pick up the phone, this remains true: The top topic of calls to our office has been will wishes, every single day. https://t.co/N7nl1CCgBa

Adam Jentleson @AJentleson

Since the news broke about John checking into Walter Reed, the top topic of calls to our office every day has been well wishes. This piece captures much of what we’ve been hearing. People like and relate to John - sometimes it’s that simple. https://t.co/NIePTtk5IE

You want to talk about ugly? How about pushing the victim of a near-fatal stroke to run for office instead of recovering, so that now he almost certainly has permanent brain damage? Is that ugly, Adam?

And we didn’t do that to him.
