  1. This guy he shouldn't be elected even I didn't like Dr. Oz this guy is disappointing I don't like the way he dress and what he said about Palestinians so disappointing u have children u don't have heart I don't care about him anymore.

  2. He supports the genocide in Gaza. May God put trials and tribulations in his path.

  3. Donald J. TRUMP for President 2024! ☀

  4. 🩵Fetterman💙Fetterman🩵Fetterman💙

  5. Everyone praising him is ignoring how bad he turned his back on the people that got him there.

    This is a strategy down to dressing like he host rolled out of bed.

    Just because you have depression, doesn’t mean that you can’t wear appropriate clothing for a TV interview, which is why this is sinister and calculated.

    Him wearing an Israel flag and condemning progressives is evidence of a bought politician.

    THIS MAN IS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR.

    So, this is my second try posting and nbc flagged my post and got it removed. YouTube said if I am insulting again they will block me indefinitely.

    I’m a democrat, always have been, but I’m done with all these people who beg progressives for their support and then turn on us like he did.

    So yeah, I don’t believe anything he says. He’s a shrewd politician

  6. Fetterman is one of the more coherent people in Congress. (Most are not.)

  7. I can't get the past the clothing.

  8. John Fetterman supports the genocide against the Palestinians people , so honestly nobody should feel bad about his depression

  9. Happy New Year John. Stay strong. You have what you need to lift Americans and Penn. folks up.

  10. It’s not cool or edgy to dress like you have a day off everyday. Dress to impress, it’s not oppressive, it’s professional.

  11. Looks, it's a person being one of us.. Not acting better or above. That's refreshing.

  12. Fetterman is recovering and sounds more coherent but at the end of the day I want someone healthy in mind, body and soul as a leader which is even more pressing as a Senator. It’s really as simple as not wanting an impaired pilot flying a plane!! Why have we become a society that gives in to coddling insanity??!?!

  13. If I was in the position he's in…. I would step down!
    You can't let other people do things and make decisions in your name!

  14. I am more right leaning, but i like this Senator. He seems like a great guy and looks like he is recovering well.

  15. God Bless you, Senator. We love you!

  16. Yes, John needs serious help. He doesn't deserve to be working in a U.S. gov't office; he can't even dress himself properly for the job. STOP giving American's taxed income away to other countries, traitor!

  17. Still can't wear a shirt with buttons on it.

  18. How did you get your ears moved ?

  19. This guy wants great healthcare for himself. Not the rest of us. 🤡

  20. He is also a LIAR! He campaigned on Legalizing cannabis as did Josh Shapiro… Once they got elected on their false promises, they totally FORGOT about Helping us to get what they promised… Totally Fed up with LYING Politicians… They wont be getting my Vote EVER Again !!

  21. He shouldn't be working at a high level in our government. You can't represent the United States people at a high level, you aren't healthy, please step down. Diane Feinstein was a zombie for the last few years in her role in our government. It has to stop. Only the best and healthiest should be considered to these positions.

  22. This dude trolls ppl on twitter all the time

  23. I am so glad he is better. I just wish he had not forgotten all those times he referred to himself as a progressive (on audio and video). I thought he went to Walter Reed not MAGA General Hospital.

  24. What a lovely and generous man. So glad he's made it through the fire….. 🙏

  25. my insurance doesn't cover mental health benefits

  26. My respect for him as only grown over the years. As of late, the picture of his office lined up with the Israeli hostage posters shows there are sane men in our government. I hope that he inspires more people to get into civil service.
