The Post-Gazette is a little left of Pravda and is Fetterman's hometown paper and even they say he's unfit to be a candidate...and that's not even considering being a lifelong politician living off his parents, doesn't think a black man should be jogging or knows hot to get an ID, and wants half the PA prison population released immediately.
The
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette questioned Pennsylvania Democratic Senate nominee Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s (D-PA) “ability to serve” for avoiding a debate with his Republican opponent, TV host Dr. Mehmet Oz.
In a piece which ran Monday, the paper noted that Fetterman “has not fully recovered from the serious stroke he suffered in May.” Fetterman’s campaign has said that the stroke was caused by atrial fibrillation, or A-Fib, which is a condition where the heart beats irregularly.
In a statement last week, Fetterman
announced he would skip a scheduled debate with Oz.
“If Mr. Fetterman is not well enough to debate his opponent, that raises serious concerns about his ability to serve as a United States senator,” stated the editorial.
“If Mr. Fetterman’s communication skills have not yet recovered sufficiently to effectively debate his opponent, many voters will have concerns about his ability to represent them effectively in Washington,” added the editorial. "Mr. Fetterman still speaks haltingly and relies on closed captioning to fully understand his conversation partners.”
Oz held a press conference Tuesday morning with Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., who also said Fetterman's avoidance of debates should raise doubt about whether he can do the job of a senator. "John Fetterman has refused to agree to any formal debates with Dr. Oz. There's something that's just not right here. In every campaign I ever ran, I did debates... it's an important part of the democratic process," Toomey said in a press release.
"I'm here to issue a warning to Pennsylvania voters, you can't do your job as U.S. senator sitting at home firing off snarky tweets."
