Fetterman will make you proud to be American
Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa.) has fumbled his words again.
Clad in an oversized Carhartt hoodie and a pair of shorts with sneakers — one of his outfits of choice for important functions — Fetterman met with President Biden and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro to discuss the collapse of a bridge on I-95.
Fetterman made some remarks regarding the collapse before introducing Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.) to the podium.
However, he didn’t call him by his name, Brendan Boyle, but rather “Boyle Bile.”
“Oh, it’s so bad,” Pat Gray comments, “and please can we stop with the basketball shorts and the hoodie and the sneakers? Come on, do you not feel underdressed at all?”
“You’re surrounded by everybody in a suit,” he adds.
However, Keith Malinak isn’t convinced this is the worst gaff we’ve seen from our politicians recently.
“Hold on a second, time out,” Malinak laughs, “that’s actually not as bad as Biden introducing a dead congresswoman.”
Fetterman was also recently caught calling I-95 a “major eatery” before adding that “Pennsylvanians are worried that the delays and repairs bring to its standstill deal.”
“Did Chris Christie eat 95? Is that what happened?” asks Gray.
“I mean, there’s nothing to say,” Malinak comments.
“We said it all during the campaign,” Gray agrees, “the guy’s not qualified. He can’t do this job, it's clear. And every time he speaks, he shows us again.”
“He’s just too injured,” he continues, “his brain is too injured to do this job.”
“He makes Joe Biden’s ‘God Save the Queen’ line look normal,” Malinak adds.

Sen. Fetterman recites BLM slogans in celebratory Juneteenth post, but is swiftly reminded of the innocent black jogger he chased down with a shotgun
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) wished everyone a "Happy Juneteenth" on Monday, noting that extra to celebrating emancipation, the occasion marked a time to "reflect on the long shadow of systemic racism in America."
Some Twitter users obliged the senator in reflecting on the racism of yesteryear, noting a shady moment in Fetterman's own recent past: a 2013 incident when then-Braddock Mayor Fetterman pulled a shotgun on an innocent black jogger, whom he had presumed was fleeing a shooting, reported the New York Post.
Replying to Fetterman's post on Twitter — a recycled tweet from 2022, which also stressed, "PA always stands by the unshakeable truth that Black families matter + Black lives matter" — former Trump campaign communications director and Washington Times columnist Tim Murtaugh tweeted, "Senator, why don’t you tell that story about that time you chased a black jogger and held a shotgun on him because you thought he was a criminal?"
Spencer Brown, the managing editor of Townhall, shared a graphic referencing a New York Times write-up of the event, captioned, "John Fetterman chased down an innocent unarmed black man."

According to Trib Live, Fetterman was outside his home with his son around 4:30 p.m. on Jan. 26, 2013, when he claimed to have heard high-powered rifle shots. After taking his son inside and calling police, Fetterman saw a black jogger running from the direction of the alleged gunshot sounds and inferred that the two were linked.
The police report indicated that extra to being unarmed, Christopher Miyares was dressed in "running clothing and was wearing headphones."
Fetterman pulled a 20-gauge shotgun from beneath the back seat of his truck and chased down Miyares.
The Pennsylvania Democrat admitted that the gun stowed in his truck was loaded, which the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office indicated at the time was illegal.
Fetterman reportedly caught up to the jogger in his truck, ordered him to stop, then brandished his shotgun when he didn't comply.
Miyares told WTAE-TV that the Democrat aimed the shotgun at his chest, which Fetterman denied.
The jogger, who was not charged with any crime, later explained to police that he had seen children playing with bottle rockets, which may have been the source of the sound that prompted the Democrat to presume him guilty.
"I did what I thought was appropriate at the time. I don't have any regrets now. It was just a very confusing and scary situation," said Fetterman.
Fawn Walker-Montgomery, a former city council member from McKeesport, near Braddock, told NBC News last year, "He was a white man with a gun chasing a black man. ... I used to be on the council in McKeesport, and if I chased after a person with a gun, I would still be in jail. He’s showing he’s not aware of his white privilege."
The New York Post reported that while downplaying the incident ahead of the 2022 election, Fetterman also wiped mentions of the identitarian activist group BLM from his campaign site, which had been up until late August.

Fetterman's handlers and allies in the liberal media caught deceptively doctoring quotes to make him sound coherent
Sen. John Fetterman's sporadic incomprehensibility has been well documented ever since his stroke in May 2022. However, a recent incident has exposed the great lengths to which the Pennsylvania Democrat's team and his allies in the liberal media are willing to go in order to downplay his continued debility.
Fetterman confounded a witness and his colleagues during a Senate hearing Tuesday, spouting another incoherent assemblage of words framed as a question to which no one responded.
What was actually said — the intended substance of which some Republicans agreed with — stands in stark contrast to the misquote manufactured by Fetterman's office, then recirculated by Washington Post reporter Jeff Stein.
Stein tweeted that Fetterman asked Silicon Valley Bank ex-CEO Greg Becker, "Shouldn't you have a working requirement after we bail out your bank? Republicans seem to be more preoccupied with SNAP requirements for hungry people than protecting taxpayers that have to bail out these banks," reported Fox News Digital.
The question was succinct and coherent, only it hadn't passed Fetterman's lips as quoted.
Here is what Fetterman actually said: "The Republicans want to give a work requirement for SNAP. You know, for a uh, uh, uh, a hungry family has to have these, this kind of penalties, or these some kinds of word — working, uh, require — Shouldn’t you have a working requirement, after we sail your bank, billions of your bank? Because you seem we were preoccupied, uh when, then SNAP requirements for works, for hungry people, but not about protecting the tax, the tax papers, you know, that will bail them out of whatever does about a bank to crash it."
\u201cJUST IN: John Fetterman struggles to ask a question at a Senate Banking Committee hearing.\n\nThis is the most painful 90 seconds you will watch all month.\n\n\u201cThat\u2019s like if you have I mean like, eh eh and and they also realize is that that that now they have, it\u2019s in they\u2026\u201d— Collin Rugg (@Collin Rugg) 1684257173
After getting roundly criticized for his hand in what appeared to be politically expedient historical revisionism, Stein tweeted Wednesday, "Yesterday I tweeted this quote, provided to me by the Senator’s office, without checking it against the video. That was my fault. Though it captured his meaning, I deleted the tweet since some of the words in the quote were inaccurate."
While Stein admitted fault, he wasn't alone.
Katherine Fung, writing for Newsweek, similarly cleaned up Fetterman's mess of a question — extra to that conventionally expected of a reporter — quoting him as saying, "Republicans want a work requirement for SNAP, for hungry families.... Shouldn't you have a working requirement after we [bail out] your bank?"
Prem Thakker at the New Republic and Stephen Neukam at The Hill also went the distance to polish up Fetterman's remarks.
Fox News Digital reported that Fetterman's office routinely cures the senator's remarks posted to his congressional website, which bear little resemblance to what he actually said.
For instance, Fetterman's office quoted him as saying during an April 26 Senate hearing, "I'm really excited about Whole-Home Repairs. Here in Pennsylvania, one of my friends, Nikil Saval in the Senate, shepherded it. And he got linked up with the Republicans and they actually created one of the first kinds of a program like this in the nation."
What Fetterman said was much closer to: "I'm really excited by it, because here in Pennsylvania one of my friends really [inaudible] it, Nikil Saval, he was one of the literally — quite literally — as hard left as a politician I'm aware of — you know — certainly in the Senate. Um, he really helped shepherd that. And he got linked up with the Republicans, and he actually created the first kind of a program like this in the nation, you know. And one of my colleague — Mr. Vance — talked about well if there's a leak in the ceiling, what if you don't have the money to fix that? What can happen to that, kinda things?"
While Fetterman's perseverance has been widely commended and there have been bipartisan expressions of hope that his recovery is successful, there remain concerns that he is presently not up the demands of one in his position.
Blaze TV host Chad Prather tweeted, "This man can't even complete a sentence. Fetterman should RESIGN immediately and take some time off and focus on his health."
Conservative pundit Carmine Sabia wrote, "Democrats have no shame. Sens. John Fetterman and Dianne Feinstein need to resign and address their medical issues. This is sad."
"There is no way John Fetterman should be in office," wrote TPUSA journalist Benny Johnson.
Joe Calvello, a spokesman for Fetterman, told Newsweek, "If sickos on the internet want to keep making fun of John for recovering from a health challenge, that's between them and their consciences."

John Fetterman just BROKE the internet with the WEIRDEST fashion trend you’ve ever seen
Never mind the fact that Senator John Fetterman somehow still has 1,936 days remaining in his term, and never mind the fact that he’s “always good for a quote,” albeit a cringeworthy quote.
We’ll even overlook his two ridiculous responses to the impeachment inquiry announcement.
Today, we’re focusing on the senator’s recent fashion statement – a most unusual choice that leaves Pat Gray, Keith Malinak, and Jeff Fisher in tears from laughter.
The second time Fetterman was asked for a response regarding the impeachment inquiry, it’s impossible to focus on his response (nothing worth hearing anyway) because you’re so distracted by what he’s wearing.
To the left of his head, he pinned a life-size picture of fellow Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey’s head.
“It almost makes him look like a two-headed person,” says Pat.
“We’re an idiocracy,” laughs Keith.
Fetterman’s statement piece is so strange that you have to see it for yourself. Watch the clip below.
