John Fetterman once again managed to find the spotlight.
It’s a familiar position for the embattled Democrat.
And John Fetterman cried in public for a strange reason.
As American Patriot Daily reports:
John Fetterman’s come under fire for dressing like a bum on the Senate floor.
Even Fetterman’s fellow Democrats are horrified about how Fetterman shows up to the Senate dressed like he slept in a cardboard box in an alley.
Many suspect that Fetterman’s inability to dress in a suit stems from impairment owing to the near-fatal stroke he suffered in May of last year.
During Fetterman’s campaign for U.S. Senate, a donor who claimed to be one of Fetterman’s doctors said he was “recovering well from his stroke,” adding that Fetterman “has no work restrictions and can work full duty in public office.”
But facing a bipartisan hail of criticism over his slovenly dress, Fetterman tried to play victim.
During a hearing for the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging Fetterman tried to make common cause with the featured guests who are all Americans who suffer from disabilities.
Almost as if right on cue, Fetterman began to well up with tears claiming Republicans made fun of him because his stroke left him impaired to the point where he could not carry on basic small talk without the assistance of software that transcribed the other end of the conversation.
“Because I live in a political environment, I was ridiculed and made fun of because I wasn’t able to process things at times,” Fetterman said as he began waving his phone around.
Fetterman then claimed he is the one everyone should feel sorry for and wondered why society could not show more empathy for the impaired.
“I’m so sorry, I’m sure many of you had to go through this kind of thing,” Fetterman added. “I admire everyone who has to live with these kind of struggles and prevail over them.”
“How can we become more empathetic, more responsive, and more effective senators?” Fetterman concluded.

This was an odd speech performance by Fetterman.
First, Fetterman admitted for the first time that his stroke limited his ability to perform the duties of a senator due to permanent impairment.
Second, Fetterman’s plea for empathy came just days after he attacked Republicans who opposed funding for Joe Biden’s socialist agenda and war in Ukraine with the vulgar term “jagoffs.”
“If those jagoffs in the House stop trying to shut our government down, and fully support Ukraine, then I will save democracy by wearing a suit on the Senate floor next week,” Fetterman wrote on social media.
John Fetterman wants to play the social media bully and the victim at the same time depending on the situation.
And all this fiasco over his dress and his conduct is doing is calling into question if he is actually capable of carrying out the duties of a U.S. senator.
