“Physical impairment and serious mental health challenges”
After Fetterman’s latest hospitalization, his people rushed out a damage control piece in the New York Times which pushes for sympathy while essentially conceding that they lied during the campaign about his competency.
Mr. Fetterman declined to be interviewed for this story. But aides and confidantes describe his introduction to the Senate as a difficult period, filled with unfamiliar duties that are taxing for someone still in recovery: meetings with constituents, attending caucus and committee meetings, appearing in public at White House events and at the State of the Union address, as well as making appearances in Pennsylvania.
The most evident disability is a neurological condition that impairs his hearing. Mr. Fetterman suffers from auditory processing issues, forcing him to rely primarily on a tablet to transcribe what is being said to him. The hearing issues are inconsistent; they often get worse when he is in a stressful or unfamiliar situation. When it’s bad, Mr. Fetterman has described it as trying to make out the muffled voice of the teacher in the “Peanuts” cartoon, whose words could never be deciphered.
While the Times piece focuses heavily on his ability to hear and understand, reading between the lines it’s obvious that he’s also not capable of performing any meaningful duties.
