On MSNBC’s Morning Joe program, one segment of the show for Friday’s show included asking swing voters how they feel about U.S. Senate Candidate (D) John Fetterman. Many gave responses that the Fetterman campaign team isn’t going to like to hear. Responses included, “hard to watch him speak”, and “that’s the sad part, and that’s why I think somebody should have stepped in, and said, ‘Hey, this just isn’t the right time, John.”, and other comments about the poor health in John Fetterman that is campaign is refusing to acknowledge. Some even went as far to say that Fetterman choosing to run despite his health issues with making the Democratic look bad for even tolerating his campagin.
According to Fox News:
Though the collection of voters expressed sympathy for Fetterman’s condition, they admitted that it meant he wasn’t an ideal candidate.
Just prior to the focus group discussion, Jordan noted that she showed the voters a clip from Fetterman’s recent interview with NBC reporter Dasha Burns.
That interview featured closed captioned questions from the reporter so that the candidate could better process them. Fetterman has claimed he’s still suffering health effects from his stroke earlier in the year.
That interview generated controversy, as liberals and even Fetterman’s wife accused Burns of making it look as though Fetterman had cognition issues.
A female voter from Bucks County opened the discussion, saying, “It’s hard to watch him speak because you want the words to flow. You want him to be able to have that ease of communication.”
The second voter was less tolerant of Fetterman’s condition, admitting his belief that it’s a serious liability for the Democrat’s campaign. Addressing the first speaker, he said, “The one thing that I got to say, that you did say, is you don’t know if he’s going to need that [closed captioning] six months from now or the rest of his life, and neither do we, and neither do his doctors at this point.”
He added that Fetterman shouldn’t be running now, saying, “That’s the sad part, and that’s why I think somebody should have stepped in, and said, ‘Hey, this just isn’t the right time, John.’”
This small experiment shows how an aware voter likely sees John Fetterman. While many have sympathy that he went through a very serious health scare, those who actually are listening to the interviews and speeches by Fetterman have realized by now that he’s not currently in good health. Of course, it’s sadly up for the people to realize at this point, because Fetterman’s team, similar to Biden’s team, has hidden him for so long and only allow him to come out in short spurts. Hiding a candidate from the public eye is not a good way to gain trust in potential voters.
I would be uneasy about EVERYTHING about Fetterman. Seems the choice of him or Oz is obvious.
Voters are “uneasy” with Fetterman’s health issues? Voters should be more worried about his issues in general!
Fettermans wife wants the spot so she is doing a Jill Biden playing handler while having her own intentions.
Wow! Uncle Fester wears a suit! Sadly, he’s still a moron.
Democrats don’t care who they elect. People knew Biden was ill when they ran him and still democrats when that way anyway. There is zero conscience in the Democratic Party.
WITHOUT DISPARAGING FETTERMEN TOO BAD WHAT IDIOT WHO HAD A RECENT STROKE AND HAS HIS BODY AND MIND STILL AFFECTED BY IT WOULD BE STUPID ENOUGH TO RUN A FULL BLOWN SENATE RACE???? ANYONE WITH A MODICUM OF SENSE WOULD BOW OUT AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR HEALTH INSTEAD OF SUBJECTING THEIRSELF TO RIDICULE AND FINGER POINTING. BUT NO, THIS GRIFTER WHO FAILED MISERABLY AS A MAYOR OF A SMALL TOWN IN PENNSYLVANIA NOW WANTS TO BE A SENATOR AND HE CANT EVEN READ AND COMPREHEND A SIMPLE BIT OF WRITING ON A PIECE OF PAPER. HE IS THE JOE BIDEN OF PENNSYLVANIA AND HES TOO IGNORANT TO KNOW IT. THATS HOW YOU KNOW HE DOESNT NEED TO BE ELECTED, WOULD ANYONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WANT THIS FOOL TO REPRESENT THEM??? I KNOW I WOULDNT!!
The guy’s a complete wacko and voters are concerned with his health?
Let’s face the fact here that this is the midterm election and the most important too because we can not have Demon influence on the election.
Fetterman is not your Bucks county suburbanite and shouldn’t be expected to be glib when talking to the public as intimated here. And his personal physician has given John a clean bill of health, not acknowledged here. This is a smear piece thinly disguised to thwart the Lt. Gov.’s bid for a top state office. But smarter people vote, not write slam pieces. Go Dems.
Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows you don’t put Cognitively Impaired individuals into office. That’s just pure Insanity to do so. Look at the Presidency right now. Biden is obviously suffering from Moderate Dementia (and it was obvious before he was elected), and every decision he’s made, has had disastrous consequences, yet he’s too far gone to understand that simple fact.
Pennsylvanian, do you really want a Cognitively Impaired Senator looking out for your State’s interests? Because Fetterman is a recipe for disastor.
Huh???? Seems they should be more concerned about Biden’s cognitive abilities than John’s. I think John’s doing just fine and people are using his medical condition as an excuse not to vote for him. What would they use as an excuse if he didn’t have the medical conditions?
They should be worried about the policies he favors
open drugs, free the criminals, get rid of the police
ect.ect;
Nothing matters to Democrats as long as they can hang on to having power over the people anything and anyone goes
Fetterman obviously has a health issue but this is not why Pa. voters have to choose Oz. Why Fetterman is the best candidate the Dems could come up with is certainly what the voters of the state have to question. As a person , candidate this thing is the best? OMG ?
No thanks on Fetterman, we already have a mentally deficient person in the White House.
Amazing that people, at least some, are only concerned about Fetterman’s health. What about his radical policies and that his record shows how lazy he is?
