WATCH: Fetterman’s Witty Response To Protestor Leaves Many Judging His Ability To Serve

Senator John Fetterman was confronted at a rally by a protestor who spoke about innocent people being killed in Palestine.

The protestors shouted at Fetterman before he was eventually escorted out of the building by police.

What Fetterman says to the protestor next is ridiculous

Watch it here:

Fetterman confirms he's a vegetable after being confronted by a ceasefire protester.

Fetterman says, “The joke is on you. I had a stroke. I can’t fully understand what you are saying.”

Did I mention that this man is a Senator?

A Senator who is meant to represent the entirety of his State?

How can one represent a Pennsylvania if he can’t even understand what others are saying to him?

CNN wrote about Fetterman’s stroke back in February:

Democratic Sen. John Fetterman’s hospitalization for the treatment of clinical depression has raised questions about the links between depression and strokes – and how long he’ll need to be hospitalized.

The Pennsylvania Democrat, who suffered a stroke last May ahead of winning the Senate nomination, has experienced depression on and off throughout his life, according to his office, although it only became severe in recent weeks.

About a third of people who’ve had a stroke do suffer some sort of clinical depression. It could be for different reasons, including directly due to the impact on the brain from the stroke.

“There’s not a lot of data behind the reason, but one idea is that stroke itself messes up the brain’s ability to function well – not just the part of the brain where the neurons are affected by the actual stroke, but the way the different brain regions talk to each other. As a result, it can cause cognitive troubles, and that can impact the way we see and perceive the world and lead to depression,” Dr. Will Cronenwett, chief of psychiatry at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, said in a news release Friday.

We have a senile man in the White House, and Fetterman can’t understand language anymore because of a stroke.

There is seemingly no limit to the disabilities that people can have when in government.

It might seem harsh, but these are meant to be the people running this country.

I sympathize with people who have had strokes, but it doesn’t mean you should be responsible for the legislation that dictates an entire country.

Back in September, Fetterman cried when discussing his disability.

Read The Hill’s reporting on it here:

“Because I live in a political environment, I was ridiculed and made fun of,” Fetterman said, choking up as he spoke to the witnesses who testified at the hearing.

“I’m so sorry that I’m sure many of you had to go through this kind of thing,” Fetterman added. “I was lucky enough to go through my life, the vast majority of that, without this kind of disability that I have.”

Fetterman experienced a stroke in May 2022, which left him with an auditory processing disorder. At the hearing, titled “Unlocking the Virtual Front Door: Ensuring Accessible Government Technology for People with Disabilities, Older Adults, and Veterans,” he highlighted the scrutiny he has received for his new disability.

“I admire everyone that has to kind of live with these kind of struggles, and prevail over them,” Fetterman said.

Once again, I sympathize with stroke victims.

But at what point do we deem people unfit to serve in office?
