Governor and Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman leads Republican nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz in the commonwealth\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/2022-midterms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">midterm elections<\/a>, Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro broke down why Fetterman represents the worst of American politicians \u2014 and why the media glorifies him.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman served as the longtime mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, before his current stint in Harrisburg. The unorthodox politician \u2014 who wears <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/pennsylvania-democrats-pick-basketball-shorts-and-hoodie-clad-john-fetterman-over-rising-star-conor-lamb-in-senate-primary\">hoodies and basketball shorts<\/a> while in public and towers at six feet, eight inches \u2014 has been lauded by the media as a man of the people. Yet Shapiro noted that the candidate\u2019s attire is more characteristic of a lazy slob than a middle-class, blue-collar rust belt voter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s authentic, don\u2019t you know? Authentic, you see, means you wear Dickies, and your aides tweet snarky things about your opponents,\u201d Shapiro commented. \u201cMost of all, according to the media, authentic means you are radically unsuccessful. You are a giant loser \u2014 like a giant who is a loser and also a giant loser.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The media love John Fetterman because he is a career useless person. That\u2019s their chief qualification for high office: being a drain on everyone else. Because that\u2019s what they want government to be. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/m7YT5WOMpA\">pic.twitter.com\/m7YT5WOMpA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/benshapiro\/status\/1561352420835430401?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 21, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fetterman served as the mayor of Braddock \u2014 an impoverished city of fewer than 2,000 people \u2014 for more than a decade on a salary of $1,800 because his parents gave him an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/pennsylvania-senate-nominee-fettermans-parents-gave-him-allowance-as-high-as-five-figures-well-into-his-40s\">allowance<\/a> of tens of thousands of dollars per year. Meanwhile, his sister allowed him to rent an apartment virtually for free.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be a true rebel, you have to show you\u2019re actually a giant loser, and that you\u2019ve never done a thing of actual economic value for any other human being,\u201d Shapiro continued. \u201cYou have to leech off your parents while in public service. You have to be a professional useless person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro compared Fetterman to other \u201ccareer useless\u201d politicians such as former President Barack Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), President Joe Biden, and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) \u2014 who was once <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/sanders-was-kicked-out-commune-laziness-hank-berrien\">kicked off<\/a> a commune after three days for failing to work. Yet Fetterman\u2019s record is also incongruous with Pennsylvania voters because of his radical political positions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2016, Fetterman signed a pledge to support the so-called Keep It in the Ground Act, which was designed to ban new oil, gas, and coal leasing on federal land,\u201d Shapiro said. \u201cHe has pushed repeatedly for pardons or commutations for violent felons. He said Pennsylvania could release one-third of its inmates and be just as safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, Fetterman has repeatedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/im-for-decriminalizing-across-the-board-john-fetterman-has-repeatedly-nodded-to-woke-drug-policy\">nodded<\/a> to drug decriminalization and monitored injection sites, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/johnfetterman\/status\/1290280291458674689\">defended <\/a>Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, who is currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/democrats-and-republicans-join-forces-to-investigate-philadelphias-woke-district-attorney\">under investigation<\/a> from Republican and Democratic members of the Pennsylvania House for failing to enforce the city\u2019s laws.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/hell-be-fine-pa-democratic-senate-nominee-cleared-by-doctor-to-campaign-after-suffering-a-stroke-days-before-primary\">suffered a stroke<\/a> days ahead of the primary elections. On the rare occasion he appears in public, he tends to slur, stutter, repeat himself, and lose his train of thought. Instead of engaging with voters on the campaign trail, Fetterman has opted to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/pennsylvanias-senate-campaign-degrades-to-a-meme-war\">troll<\/a> Oz over his links to New Jersey \u2014 even though Fetterman himself seems to have a soft spot for the Garden State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe took a vacation to the Jersey Shore \u2014 security team in tow \u2014 all while telling Americans to continue locking down,\u201d Shapiro observed.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to a report from economists Stephen Moore and Jon Decker showing that most Biden administration officials have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/most-top-biden-officials-have-0-years-of-business-experience\">zero years<\/a> of business experience, Shapiro hammered leftists for favoring slothfulness while scorning Dr. Oz, Donald Trump, Mitt Romney, and other Republicans who have managed to be successful in the business world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou see, the real sin in the land of Democrats is earning money by actually creating value,\u201d Shapiro explained. \u201cIt\u2019s a point of pride to be a useless human being.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Pennsylvania Lt.
