Fetterman Confronted!

[red dog 1]

FETTERMAN CONFRONTED: “I’m a breast cancer survivor, I had a double mastectomy, and the Trump administration took my health care away… And you’re standing with him.”

Fetterman can barely talk. Painful to watch as usual.

1. Muck Metterfan

Narcissistic quisling.

He's always in his Marvel costume. What's up with that.

[sakabatou]

2. Two things I have with Fetterman

Either he was a bullshitter, and always a DINO in his first tenure, or the brain injury just messed him up terribly so his morals flipped.

[Haggard Celine]

16. +1

[Ilsa]

27. His judgment about everything is suspect.

The way he dresses for formal events is a dead giveaway, IMO.

[Roy Rolling]

62. Likely a brain issue

I have empathy for medical patients seeking treatment and healing.

I have no respect for those who hire the mentally-deficient, exploiting and expecting them to behave the same as a person with a non-diseased brain.

It’s why they lashed cannons to the decks of sailing warships in centuries past.

Lest they become “loose cannons”.

[Goonch]

3. ;-{).........

[vapor2]

28. Excellent pic! He's a POS

I reposted her video on BS

[Botany]

4. She is what a real American patriot looks and sounds like.

To that brave American patriot.

And yes it looks like Fetterman is so far out to lunch that he has to use his cell phone to
record and translate very simple statements and questions in English so his damaged
brain got to read what the person was saying before he could respond.

[paleotn]

29. If that last part is true, he needs to resign.

He's not physically or mentally able to perform the job of Senator. He just needs to go, one way or another.

[Dave says]

34. So a deaf Democrat should resign?

I thought he needed that reader when he left the hospital post-stroke.

The stroke could’ve damaged his ability to process auditory sound but left the brain areas that enables reading just fine. No? My understanding is that Fetterman sometimes has difficulty hearing words; the recording device helps.

Now, let’s talk about Fetterman’s judgement and some of his votes. Both leave a lot to be desired. Definitely a Manchin.

[paleotn]

37. Bullshit. Being deaf and the damage caused by a stroke are two different things.

And you do deaf people a real disservice by conflating the two. Not only did it affect his hearing, his brain is not processing normally, thus, he cannot do the job effectively. Even with his device, he's still left stammering. He needs to go.

[Dave says]

43. I agree, he has to go

(Just not solely because he uses a recording device. You’d agree that’s just one of many reasons.)

[BidenRocks]

50. He does fine in interviews I've seen.

I turned him off when he started talking pro chump crap!
He is failing to represent Pennsylvania voters.
Resign!

[Orrex]

68. Oh he's representing a lot of PA voters--just not the ones who voted for him

My job has me working in a lot of rural and outlying areas of western PA, and I can tell you that the solidly Red voters in those regions are 100% behind this new, post-stroke Fetterman.

[red dog 1]

52. He's not deaf, but he has "auditory processing disorder" (WAPO). and does use a hearing aid

[red dog 1]

53. No, Fetterman shouldn't resign just because he has hearing loss from his stroke.

But a Democratic United States Senator who consistently votes with Senate Republicans, that's a different story, and has nothing to do with his hearing problems.

[lostincalifornia]

5. The worst mistake would be for fetterman to become an independent and

caucus with the republicans. We need every Democrat even in name only especially for the upcoming midterms to even have a chance at a majority Senate. The healthcare message though was very powerful.

[BannonsLiver]

7. Here's what's going to happen if we somehow get to 51 seats: he's going to caucus with them anyway.

I don’t think he wants Democrats to control the senate. So we’d need 52 to make him irrelevant.

[lostincalifornia]

48. You don't know that.

[Hope22]

56. Hasn't he already been voting with the R's?

Seems the case!!

[BannonsLiver]

6. I applaud her for standing up to Senator Shrek.

And I wholeheartedly agree. His brain is mush.

[mountain grammy]

8. Courage! This woman has it!

She is speaking for millions of Americans. Bravo!

[RussBLib]

9. I could not get the video to play

...not sure why. Is it just me? Seems so.

[DET]

10. Wow

I had no idea that Fetterman has such terrible problems with communication. That is scary for someone with so much power.

[LisaL]

11. I presume he is brain damaged from his stroke.

NT

[calimary]

12. And don't forget:

Besides the regular privileges that a Senator or Congressman enjoys, there’s also that easy-access health care they can take advantage of, that doesn’t go on THEIR bill.

[GiqueCee]

17. That is GOLD-PLATED healthcare...

... that WE pay for! And the evil fucks on the Dark Side of the aisle say, "OH! We can't afford to give you the same healthcare that WE receive on YOUR dime! Chop 'em into chum – figuratively speaking, of course – heh, heh, heh! And toss 'em into Chesapeake Bay for the sand sharks, IF they'll even eat them.

[a kennedy]

18. I guess that makes me the most pissed off......or how many freaking days off they get!!!!!!

🤬 🤬 🤬

[calimary]

20. Both these "highway robbery" activities piss me off!

[paleotn]

32. See 31 below. It's not always as cushy a job as many think.

At least not for some congress people and Senators. Good work if you can get it, but many of us wouldn't want it once we saw what it entailed in our political system. There's a nearly constant need to fund raise if you want to get reelected.

[paleotn]

31. For Congress critters, a day not on the hill isn't necessarily a day off.

In fact, most of them aren't. There's work to do back home in their states and districts. And, since our entire political system runs on dollars, a significant amount of that time is spent fund raising for the next reelection cycle.

[slightlv]

45. And this is what we've tried to change for decades!

Citizens United just cemented it into our society. I'm still of the (now) old belief that elections should be paid for with a stipend from the government, and run only within a certain time frame prior to the election. I think England does the latter now, tho I'm not absolutely sure of that.

We don't need fundraising and campaigning for a future election the minute an election is over with... which trump constantly does, as do his R cronies. And I'm sick and tired of money grabbing from billionaires who then take over and run our government with OUR money, while we have no say whatsoever. The representatives don't represent us, The People. They only represent those who contribute mightily to their campaigns. Enough! The whole system (like so much else) has to be taken down to the studs and rebuilt.

[FakeNoose]

24. This is why I've been saying he needs to resign

He has problems with speaking, listening, and processing his thoughts in conversation.

He's not deaf but he needs to read subtitles when he's in conversations with people, just so he can process what is being said. That's how bad it is. He's not mentally ill but he was being treated for depression. (Maybe he still is?)

There's a very good chance that Chump is blackmailing Fetterman because his wife and her family came to the US as illegal immigrants, when Gisela was 7 years. She has since that time become a naturalized citizen and she has earned multiple master's degrees. I don't know whether the rest of her family are naturalized, but I hope they are. It would be terrible and immoral for Chump to threaten Fetterman's family, but who's going to stop him?

I'm saying this as a Pennsylvania voter and former supporter of Fetterman: The best thing for him to do is resign for medical reasons and allow Gov. Shapiro to appoint a replacement this year.

If Fetterman tries to run again in '28 he'll be primaried and almost surely lose. The Repukes don't want him, I know that for a fact. They're just happy that Fetterman is screwing the Democrats. Gov. Shapiro could probably find a nice easy job for him doing something for the State of Pennsylvania.

[MyOwnPeace]

36. Some great points.....

but not sure if I agree with "the Repukes don't want him" part.
Why wouldn't they? He can 'walk their line' - 'somebody' on that side has 'control' of him - and he has won in Pennsylvania before.
And look at who the 'Repukes' have in other high offices of theirs that control the PA 'Repuke' machine.
Yes - he needs help - and I would have no problem with Shapiro giving him some 'job' to keep him busy and out of the way.
ANYTHING to 'GIT-HIM-GONE!'

[niyad]

40. If, in fact, he IS being blackmailed/threatened about his family, I wonder

what would happen if he called a press conference and announced it openly. I think about that scene in Eddie Murphy's "Distinguished Gentleman".

[FakeNoose]

57. If Fetterman is being blackmailed by Chump, he's not handling it well

I do feel badly for him but at the same time, things are too dicey right now to let this go. His seat and vote in the Senate are very important and he's not doing the job we elected him to do.

[AZ8theist]

42. "Immoral" is Doturds middle name.

[sheshe2]

13. That was powerful and a bit heartbreaking.

What a brave young woman.

[Cha]

15. I just saw it too, she... It was totally billiant

and emotional.

That was a very fortuitous encounter. I'm saving it for posterity.

[sheshe2]

22. Good on her for speaking up.

Well done. I am sending healing thoughts to her.💙

[Cha]

46. Sweet ☮️💙🌈🌸🍀 Great idea!

Hopefully, she can get health insurance, too.

Fetterman!

[sheshe2]

51. I wish her the best.

I wish all of us the best in these troubling times.

🫶

[Cha]

14. Wow, she speaks for me.. "yeah it's going

on TikTok, Asshole! "Gisele just walked away; she doesn't care". Fetterman gets confronted by real issues for Americans.

The woman at the store who Confronted Fetterman is my heroine!

Sincerely Bless her heart. ☮️💙 She was brilliant!

Saving this for posterity. TY!

[calimary]

38. She speaks for LOTS of people, I bet.

He needs to face consequences for his actions, when THE PEOPLE HE REPRESENTS are displeased. Like they are now. I bet they didn’t vote for him to do that.

It’s painfully obvious AND disappointing to witness, gotta say.

But the next part, of course, is finding the resolve to DO SOMETHING about it.

Vote.
Campaign.
Support the campaign. Keep in mind: support comes in MANY forms. MANY forms!!! Perfect for those supporters who genuinely care and want to help, but just don’t have the budget for it.

[Cha]

49. Yes she does, calimary. Millions!

And, this short Vid , this woman in PA made, is brilliantly indicative of all of it.

It is inspiring to GOTV!

[oasis]

19. Fecklessman!

[chouchou]

21. Just another disappointment. I stay cool about it.

No I don't..

[mr715]

23. Devastating

Hope this lady is healthy. It is interesting how Fetterman's wife disengaged.

[GoodRaisin]

25. Very good. Rec.

[flashman13]

26. I'll be as kind as I can - Fetterman is a mess and he should do the honorable thing and resign.

Voters have a right to get the person they voted for. Fetterman is simply not that person.

[Karasu]

61. Frankly, he should be disqualified and removed. That this country lets almost anyone run for office--regardless of

mental state, with no age limit, or even if they’ve committed a crime as severe as a fucking insurrection—is ridiculous.

[JonAndKatePlusABird]

67. This is not a serious country

[maspaha]

30. I want to hug and kiss and date and marry her!

I’m also a double mastectomy breast cancer survivor…diagnosed when my kid was 10 years old.

[paleotn]

33. He needs to resign. It seems he's not physically and mentally able to do the job anymore.

Mentally, he's all over the map.

[slightlv]

47. And completely the opposite of how he represented himself

to the People while campaigning. I've heard of "buyer beware"... but Fetterman has gone beyond the pale.

[LilElf70]

35. Fetterman is a low life

This guy really has issues. He needs to get out of politics.

[MyOwnPeace]

39. Yeah - serious issues - like someone you do NOT...

wanting making serious decisions about critical issues!
Kinda' reminds of that other guy in office - you know, the ORANGE one!

[AZ8theist]

41. The question is: "Who is more brain-dead, Fetterman or Doturd?" I'd say it's a toss-up.

[Deuxcents]

44. He wears the same outfit to Walmart as he does in the Capital..so disrespectful to the office he holds

The emotional exchange was heart felt for the woman who wanted an answer

[orleans]

54. i was just thinking: doesn't he ever change his fucking clothes? and then... does he ever wash them? does he smell as

bad as he looks b/c he looks like shit

[Cha]

55. Fetterman mocks free healthcare, calls the Epstein Files a nothingburger, & whizzes on Alex Pretti's grave

That is from Thursday.

[Historic NY]

58. He has an official blue sky has posted in 7 months

https://bsky.app/profile/fetterman.senate.gov]

His second account same not posting
https://bsky.app/profile/johnfetterman.com]

[Initech]

59. Fetterman is a bully. He's a bully who has enablers.

Bullies don't like being confronted.

[D23MIURG23]

60. Good for her for letting him have it.

Fetterman is the worst dem since Zell Miller.

[CTyankee]

63. He needs to go. We can do better.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

64. Agreed

[Emile]

65. Seems like we always have a couple centrists

that keep us from progressing.

[Polybius]

66. She said "he had to use a cell phone to translate what I was saying to him"

At this point, I can't even get mad at him anymore. I don't think he's well at all.
