Just five weeks and one day after Sen. John Fetterman took his oath of office, the Pennsylvania Democrat was hospitalized. While doctors maintained that the senator, who nearly died from a stroke last summer, did not suffer a second, Fetterman’s team, as usual, has remained radio silent.
Unsurprisingly, only after President Joe Biden safely expanded his Senate majority during the midterm elections has the media decided to give us the inside scoop on Fetterman’s senility. According to the New York Times, the stroke survivor “suffers from auditory processing issues, forcing him to rely primarily on a tablet to transcribe what is being said to him.
Sen. Bob Casey even tried to explain away Fetterman’s reliance on a tablet and closed captioning by likening the junior senator to Sen. Tammy Duckworth , a veteran who lost her legs in combat. There’s just one crucial difference besides the one that Democrats know and refuse to acknowledge: Unlike Duckworth’s mental labors in the Senate, which do not exacerbate her physical disabilities in any way, Fetterman’s work is permanently harming whatever odds he had of making a robust mental recovery.
Contrary to the claims of his campaign and his wife, Fetterman’s crisis is one of comprehension and cognitive function. Only now that Biden secured the Senate can the media admit that, but the question remains whether the party will finally give the old man a break.
