Staff Reports
Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) paid a visit to the United Auto Workers, who are currently on strike, but it seems like his recovery from his stroke is still causing some communication issues. In a video from his visit, Fetterman struggled to articulate his message to the Big Three automakers, resulting in a jumbled mess of words that made no sense. It’s clear that his near-fatal stroke is still affecting his ability to convey his thoughts effectively.
Now, we understand that everyone deserves a second chance, but it’s concerning to see a senator struggling so much to communicate. We need our elected officials to be able to express their ideas clearly and coherently. These are the people who make important decisions on our behalf, so we need to have confidence that they are mentally fit to do so. Fetterman’s struggles in this video raise questions about his ability to effectively serve the people of Pennsylvania.
To make matters worse, Fetterman has been at the center of controversy for his casual attire in the Senate. While the Senate recently relaxed its dress code, allowing senators to wear whatever they want, including on the Senate floor, Fetterman has taken it to the extreme. He often shows up wearing his signature hoodie and basketball shorts, a far cry from the professional attire expected in such a prestigious institution.
Senator John Fetterman delivers a powerful message in support of the United Auto Workers.
Truly inspirational!

It’s one thing to embrace a more relaxed dress code, but it’s another to show up to work looking like you just rolled out of bed. We all have our off days, but Fetterman’s consistent lack of effort in his appearance raises concerns about his dedication to his job. If he can’t even be bothered to put on a suit, how can we expect him to put in the effort required to effectively represent his constituents?
Fetterman’s struggles with communication and his lackadaisical attitude toward his appearance are not a good look for the Senate. It’s time for him to step up and take his role as a senator more seriously. The people of Pennsylvania deserve someone who can effectively communicate their ideas and demonstrate professionalism in the workplace.
