Fetterman
-
As for the Fetterman headline about needing technology to do his job, I haven’t been able to find any NYT article with that exact headline. You got a link?
Multiple cites of that headline, but they all re-direct to a "caused a furor" op ed in the NYT.

Would we ever support a deaf/mute person to be a U.S. Senator (or any national elected office)?

Sure would. Would support Fetterman if he wasn’t an idiot without the stroke. Who knows, it may have helped his cognitive function. I don’t think it could have damaged them…
But it would be good to have some live demonstrations that it’s an auditory disconnect and not a cognitive one. Unfortunately, to this point we have yet to be given an example where the interviews weren’t pre-scripted giving Fetterman advance access to the questions. I would like to see a debate where the questions were written out but not given in to the team in advance.

It seems to be becoming the standard for the Democrat party.

Just curious, what evidence would you cite to support your claim that Fetterman was an idiot without the stroke?

What does being a deaf mute have to do with cognitive function?
There are three in my wife's extended family. Provided you can sign, they can carry on a pretty rapid conversation, complete with the occasional curse word. They all read and write pretty well...One has a college degree.
So what's yer point, bud?

For Exhibits 1 - 738, I present Braddock, Pennsylvania.

"John Fetterman talks about housing, but he didn't pay for his own house."
LOL

Considering his stroke, I'm impressed with how Fetterman's doing. He gets the question, and despite his speech problems, responds appropriately and seems to "get it."
He's not coming off as an idiot or brain-addled.
Even though he's an idiot.

Not watching, but am slightly interested. This was a risky move. It just takes one off answer…

Oz says he'd support Trump if Trump is nominated.
Fetterman would support Biden "If he chooses to run."

I heard he still wouldn’t apologize for pulling a shotgun on a jogger?

He also waffled, a lot, on fracking. It was a "I was against it before I was for it" moment.

The whole thing is weird, all he needs to do is say “I’m Sorry” and he refuses to do it. Even the guy he pulled the gun on says he doesn’t have hard feelings. Hell, I think he even said he’s hoping Fetterman wins (which again shows just how bad of a candidate Oz is).

This article is nothing. The comments, however, tell the tale.

Fetterman's camp is blaming his performance on errors in the closed captions.
Do they even have that in the US Senate?

Lord, I hope not. But it would explain a lot, I suppose.
