Sen. Fetterman Unable To Properly Speak A Sentence At Hearing


At this point, Senator John Fetterman’s health condition is extremely concerning.

While speaking about the recent I-95 highway collapse in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Sen. Fetterman was unable to put a sentence together.

Fetterman raised eyebrows after he stated “I, uh, would just, um, really like to, you know —the 95, 95, 95. You know?”

Watch Fetterman here:

Here’s what Fox News reported:

 

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Penn., raised eyebrows after he made rambling, almost incoherent remarks about an elevated highway collapse in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, this week.

When asked to speak about the accident during a U.S. Senate Environment Committee hearing Wednesday, the freshman senator appeared to stutter, repeat the name of the roadway three times, and then, with difficulty, mention the significance of the problem.

The exchange began with committee chairman Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., inviting Fetterman to give a comment or two on the I-95 highway collapse that happened Sunday.

A tanker truck containing thousands of gallons of gasoline caught fire underneath the I-95 overpass, melting the metal beams supporting it and causing the highway to collapse.

When prompted, the senator struggled to begin speaking. He started off saying, “Uh no, I – uh, would just, um, really like to, you know — the 95, 95, 95. You know?”

Gesturing towards the chairman, he continued, “Obviously, you know, you’re pretty much preoccupied with uh 95. And uh, I certainly am, too. And we know it’s a major atery[sic], not just for Pennsylvania but for the East Coast. And a lot of Pennsylvanians are worried that the delays in repairs bring to its stand still deal.”
