The Pennsylvania senator has long been at the center of controversy surrounding his ailing health, largely centering on the massive stroke he had prior to the 2022 election.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Fetterman has deteriorated in ways that would have led to immediate calls for his resignation were he not a member of the Democratic Party. He can\u2019t speak properly, he can\u2019t understand others properly, and he relies on a closed captioning device to communicate.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s good to be a Democrat, though, and the press has been rushing to cover for him since day one. That continued on Friday with an interview with CBS News that did nothing but raise a multitude of questions.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Six weeks after entering Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for inpatient treatment for depression, Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JohnFetterman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JohnFetterman<\/a> shares his struggle with depression, his health, and more in an intimate interview with Jane Pauley this &quot;Sunday Morning.&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3o2926I48B\">pic.twitter.com\/3o2926I48B<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; CBS Sunday Morning \ud83c\udf1e (@CBSSunday) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CBSSunday\/status\/1641917228516888579?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 31, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>For starters, is this guy a US senator or not? I\u2019m not trying to downplay his condition. Quite the contrary, but the Senate is not a place to battle depression, much less serious health issues that leave one unable to communicate. The question at hand isn\u2019t how brave Fetterman supposedly is. It\u2019s whether he can do his job, and he obviously can\u2019t. That should be the top issue for every single person who interviews him. Instead, they lavish him with praise while helping him hide his actual condition. It\u2019s dystopian.<\/p>\n<p>Past that, a lot of people noticed where Fetterman\u2019s eyes were going during the interview. Not only is reading the questions on some kind of monitor just off-screen (which CBS News is careful to not show), but he\u2019s pretty clearly also reading his answers. His eyes stay glued to the screen the entire time, with only passing glances at the interviewer herself.<\/p>\n<p>There were also\u00a0<em>11\u00a0<\/em>different editing cuts in the 45-second clip that CBS News released. Let me say that again. There were\u00a0<em>11\u00a0<\/em>cuts in under a minute.<\/p>\n<p>Those edits weren\u2019t just made for promotional purposes. They were cuts all made during a <em>single\u00a0<\/em>question. Why? Because Fetterman takes time to read his monitor and often loses his train of thought. CBS News, instead of being honest with its audience, is trying to hide that fact.<\/p>\n<p>Does that sound like something an honest press would do? If this were a Republican, would they be bending over backward to cover up just how bad things are? We all know the answer to that. Fetterman is not fit to be a US senator. It was easy for anyone to see during the campaign, and he\u2019s even worse off now. Truly, there is nothing the Democratic Party won\u2019t do to hold onto power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, his opponent is a carpet bagging RINO, but still, Pennsylvanians knew exactly what they were voting for.
