Senator John Fetterman, the Democrat from Pennsylvania who unbelievably beat Dr. Mehmet Oz for his seat in the Senate, has finally returned to work at Capitol Hill after being absent for a significant amount of time due to clinical depression treatment at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Republicans in Pennsylvania expressed concern about Fetterman’s extended absence and requested him to appear on camera to confirm his well-being. Some were doubtful about his condition as he had experienced difficulty speaking coherently following a severe stroke last year.
Fetterman seemed disoriented and unkempt when he returned to the Capitol. Some people noticed his physical decline and criticized his sloppy appearance. He seriously looked like a slob.

It’s been reported that Fetterman is sponsoring significant legislative proposals, even though he is not present in the Senate. Some people have mocked his efforts, while others have commended him for persevering through his depression and prioritizing the concerns of his voters. But how is this actually prioritizing his voters when he’s not doing his job at all? In fact, people are calling on Dianne Feinstein to resign because she’s been absent and can’t do her job. This is exactly the same thing for Fetterman.
Earlier this month, when Fetterman left Walter Reed, he scheduled a media appearance to talk about his condition. During the interview, Fetterman expressed his emotions and talked honestly about his battle with depression. He shared that he had stopped getting out of bed, lost interest in his hobbies, and had even lost a considerable amount of weight.

This guy should have won the election in Pennsylvania to begin with. He is fully incapable of making wise decisions. The only thing he has going for him is that he’s a Democrat and Democrats know how to cheat.
