David Marcus: Yep, It's Fetterman's Brain That Triggered The Left's Hit Piece

In 2022, erstwhile John Fetterman had a stroke while he was moving for his Senate seat, nan Democrats and their media friends were insistent that to moreover mobility his fittingness to service was ableist and unacceptable.

My, really times person changed.

This week, New York magazine, arsenic reliable a Democrat organ arsenic location is, ran a scathing deed portion connected Fetterman successful which existent and erstwhile staffers each but propose that not only should he not beryllium Pennsylvania’s elder senator, he belongs successful an assisted surviving facility.

The portion has nary "gotcha" infinitesimal that would make immoderate adjacent personification opportunity that Fetterman needs to measurement speech - you know, nan benignant erstwhile President Biden provided daily. Rather, it is simply a postulation of anecdotes astir him snapping astatine staff, aliases withdrawing into himself, possibly not taking his medication. Try arsenic they might, nan folks astatine New York mag constructed a molehill, not a mountain. 

But why, 1 wonders, 2 years aft waiving distant akin behaviour is simply a wide news outlet abruptly parading nan senator’s alleged diminished capacities? What changed?

Well, nan article itself gives america a large hint pinch this line, "The endless fights complete Israel, which saw Fetterman tie further into himself, coincided pinch setbacks successful his betterment regimen." 

You don’t say. 

Allow maine to humbly propose that this is not, successful fact, a coincidence. Fetterman’s beardown support of Israel, America’s ally, and his different caller mean positions person placed a elephantine target connected nan backmost of his hoodie sweatshirt.

Condemning Israel’s protect warfare against Hamas is conscionable 1 of nan progressive shibboleths that Fetterman refuses to mindlessly repeat, but it whitethorn beryllium nan astir important one. After all, according to progressives, he is supporting genocide.

Likewise, his wholly sane and logical position that not each utterance of President Donald Trump needs to beryllium met pinch mounting one’s hairsbreadth connected occurrence wholly contradicts Democrats’ claims that Trump has already begun ushering successful autocratic fascism.

It’s honestly benignant of amusing that 1 of nan only Democrats who isn’t driven wholly insane by Trump is nan 1 they opportunity is mentally unfit.

It’s honestly benignant of amusing that 1 of nan only Democrats who isn’t driven wholly insane by Trump is nan 1 they opportunity is mentally unfit.

It is besides beautiful astounding that this yellowish publicity appeared conscionable days aft nan White House Correspondents Dinner, wherever nan property mildly acknowledged their nonaccomplishment to screen Biden’s very existent unfitness for nan White House.

Now, they would person america judge that they person seen nan correction of nan ways, learned their instruction and are consenting and capable to expose Fetterman. We are conscionable not expected to announcement that they wanted Biden successful agency and intelligibly do not want Fetterman successful office.

It's not journalistic bravery to tally a bunch of smears from staffers who are angry that their leader refuses to beryllium a card-carrying personnel of nan anti-Trump resistance. It's conscionable a hack job.

Conservatives person been pleased by, but besides somewhat wary of, Fetterman’s flirtations pinch centrism. For example, we saw that aft taking power for sitting down to meet then-Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth, he still voted against him.

So, it's not moreover existent votes that person turned Fetterman into a persona non grata successful lefty circles; it really is only his rhetoric.

And that is what really matters here. Fetterman’s crimes are a usurpation of nan progressive worldview, not of immoderate statement platform. It isn’t capable for him to caucus and ballot pinch them, he must besides uphold their undying disdain for Israel and each things Trump.
