TUCKER CARLSON: We’re not supposed to ask questions about John Fetterman’s hospitalization

Last fall, a Democrat named Tony DeLuca was re-elected to a vacated Pennsylvania state house. Not just dead inside like most politicians, but actually dead, not breathing. And not only did DeLuca win after being dead for a whole month, but he won in a landslide. Tony DeLuca received over 85% of the vote.

Now, by any measure, that’s embarrassing. Pennsylvania Democrats elected a dead man. They knew they were doing it. They did it anyway. This seems to defeat the idea of ​​representative democracy, which is that you vote for people to represent you. But party leaders in Pennsylvania were not embarrassed. He was proud.

“While we are deeply saddened by the loss of Representative Tony DeLuca,” they said in a statement. “We are proud to see that voters continue to show their confidence in his posthumous re-election and his commitment to democratic values.” In other words, electing a person who cannot possibly represent you is not a crime against democracy, it is the essence of democracy.

Now, that’s not a typo, they put it in a press release. And actually, it kind of makes sense when you remember that it was also in the state of Pennsylvania, the leaders of the Democratic Party supported a Senate candidate named John Fetterman when he had a massive stroke and He could no longer speak or communicate clearly. Here he is during his rare public appearance last year.

Democrat Sen. Fetterman’s office issued the update after he checked himself into the hospital for clinical depression

Debate Moderator #1, October. 25, 2022: You are running for a seat that could decide the balance of power in Washington. What qualifies you to be a US Senator? You have 60 seconds.

John Fetterman: hello Good night, everyone… If you work full time, you should be able to live with dignity, that’s true. And I believe they have no business being, we can’t have subsidizing businesses that can’t pay individuals who can’t pay just to pay their way.

Debate Moderator #2, October. 25, 2022: You’re saying tonight that you support fracking, that you’ve always supported fracking, but there’s that 2018 interview where you said, “I don’t support fracking.” So how do you square the two?

John Fetterman: Oh, I support fracking, and… I don’t, I don’t, I support fracking and I stand and I support fracking.

Now, that debate, as you well remember, was considered shocking by almost everyone, but not by Democrats in Pennsylvania. They were not the least bit embarrassed to be caught running a candidate who could not speak.

California Sen. Dianne Feinstein is hospitalized in San Francisco

Fetterman’s own wife, a former illegal alien known as Giselle, told reporters candidly about how she deals with her brain-damaged husband, “You like to ignore him. while he is speaking.” Now, Democratic voters love it because they always love it when women attack and degrade their husbands. It makes them feel that they are not alone. It is perfectly normal to hate your husband. And of course, they took Geisel’s advice, and they elected John Fetterman to the Senate. In a party where no debate is allowed, it’s not like you need a senator who can use words or, for that matter, a president who can think.

Now, we naively assumed that Joe Biden would be in trouble during the 2020 primaries when he misidentified the state he was standing in, or mistook his sister for his wife, or about 100 other oddities. and made disingenuous statements that suggested regular amphetamine injections. Just getting him through his rallies. Biden’s aging seemed so obvious, and it was obvious.

But what we missed was how much the Democratic Party had changed. Joe Biden’s campaign was never about Joe Biden, he could have been anyone – sharp, old or young, alive or dead. The candidate himself was irrelevant. The key was the power of the office. Democrats just wanted the seat. The details of who occupied it did not matter to them.

And as it is to prove. Dianne Feinstein has been a senator from California for more than 30 years. She is now 89, the oldest member of Congress, and she is sadly out of it. Last month, he learned that his staff had announced his retirement from the Senate. He had no idea. Look at it.

Dianne Feinstein February. 2023: I haven’t decided… I haven’t released anything… It would be my pleasure… You have released a statement? I didn’t know they put it out. So, it is what it is.

“We took your statement,” Feinstein’s staff informed her. We’ve decided you’re quitting your job and no, we haven’t told you because we don’t care what you think. You’re just a senator, shut up and vote. And Dianne Feinstein just kind of nods and accepts it.

Mind you, this guy sits on the Intelligence Committee in the United States Senate. And it’s sad, really. You’d think even a corrupt machine state like California would deserve more. Voters voted for her, believing that she would be aware of her surroundings and might have their best interests at heart. But no, nobody in the party cares because representative democracy means nothing to Democratic leaders, and if you know, they feel that way.

So that’s how Washington really works. But even by those low standards, it’s been a little bracing to watch John Fetterman’s short political career unfold. Fetterman went to Washington in January and within a month suffered a mental breakdown so severe that he wound up in the mental ward where he remains tonight. And we’re not making fun of John Fetterman, of course. We really feel for him. But the tenants in his circle, very much, including his wife, Giselle, should be ashamed of what they did.

Apparently, Fetterman succumbed to pressure from the Senate campaign to pretend that the brain damage he suffered from the stroke was no big deal. “It’s okay. I’m fine.” But he was not well. He was so close to the edge that within weeks of arriving in Washington, he wound up as an inpatient in a mental hospital. She has not been seen in public since then. And we should think that it is not a big deal. We shouldn’t even think about it and show how common it is for newly elected US senators to have a mental breakdown and disappear from public view.

Mystery swirls as Fetterman co-sponsors law while hospitalized for depression: ‘Extremely unusual’

It’s not that big of a deal that Fetterman somehow just co-sponsored legislation in the U.S. Senate,” U.S. Senators Bob Casey and John Fetterman of Pennsylvania,” read a Straight Faces News report, “on Wednesday at a bipartisan meeting of senators. The group joined, introduced. New legislation aimed at preventing future freight train derailments like the one last month in East Palestine, Ohio.”

So here you have a person on 24-hour psychiatric care deciding how to avoid a train derailment. There are many questions. But the most obvious is a logistical question: How is John Fetterman doing if he’s in a mental ward? And we don’t know because no one will tell.

Fetterman’s chief of staff, a man named Adam Jentelson, is blocking anyone who dares to ask this question on social media. On Twitter, for example, former White House incumbent Stephen Miller asked Gentleman, “Adam, who is signing and introducing legislation from Senator Fetterman’s office while he himself is currently hospitalized and Under current medical supervision?” Oh, no answer. no answer Gentleson blocked Stephen Miller in response.

So the problem with this is not John Fetterman himself. Once again, it’s impossible not to feel sad for John Fetterman or anyone else suffering from mental illness. Many of us are cynical, some of us very cynical. And a tolerant and compassionate society should do its best to help people suffering from problems like depression or schizophrenia. The problem is that a society that elevates the mentally ill is doomed.

We haven’t heard from John Fetterman in weeks: Jesse Waters

Wouldn’t a functioning society elevate to positions of leadership those who are the most intelligent, the smartest, the wisest, the ones who have the most vision and emotional control? Yes, it will. They would not knowingly place people in positions of authority who were unfit. They wouldn’t allow John Fetterman to write railroad safety laws from his bed in a mental ward. That is, pardon the description, crazy.

Biden, of course, will celebrate this as the shattering of a new glass ceiling, as if we are all empowered by being controlled by people who can’t think straight. But it’s a dead end, this road. This way of thinking is destructive to everyone. This is not empowerment, it is queer and if we continue, we may end up with people dressed as admirals pretending to be women. It can happen.

Now, that person is obviously mentally ill, but so are the rest of us if we accept that as normal.
