Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania was meeting last week with representatives from a teachers union in his home state when things quickly devolved.
Before long, Fetterman began repeating himself, shouting and questioning why “everybody is mad at me,” “why does everyone hate me, what did I ever do” and slamming his hands on a desk, according to one person who was briefed on what occurred.
As the meeting deteriorated, a staff member moved to end it and ushered the visitors into the hallway, where she broke down crying. The staffer was comforted by the teachers who were themselves rattled by Fetterman’s behavior, according to a second person who was briefed separately on the meeting.
Insensitive? Fuck that. No district should have to put up with a turncoat no matter what caused it. He doesn’t get a pass for getting so brain damaged he couldn’t think anymore. If anything, that’s an exact reason to impeach.
Fetterman isn’t a turncoat. He does exactly what party leadership wants.
I hope you never have to experience a life-changing health event.
As far as I know, there’s intentionally no recall procedure for federal offices. So, the system is designed so that districts do put up with turncoats. I would be open to changing that, but I’m not interested in championing such a change.
And I’m not interested in championing further discussion with you, thx.
