As RedState has covered, his public appearances have spanned the gambit, from being <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/bonchie\/2022\/08\/25\/fetterman-makes-extremely-uncomfortable-campaign-appearance-as-oz-pulls-within-striking-distance-n617587\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">uncomfortable to watch<\/a> to being <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/bonchie\/2022\/09\/27\/mistakes-were-made-at-john-fettermans-latest-public-appearance-n633453\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">outright incoherent<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That trend continued as Hayes introduced Fetterman on his show before attempting to ask the mother of all softball questions.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">MSNBC host: \u201cI just wanted to check in and see how you\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John Fetterman: \u201cIt\u2019s not about kicking balls in the authority or anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like what on earth is that response??? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/txba7lCJM4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/txba7lCJM4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SteveGuest\/status\/1576025274004619266?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">October 1, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, alrighty then. Obviously, Fetterman is attempting to address his <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/nick-arama\/2022\/09\/30\/fettermans-latest-post-confirms-he-is-one-weird-dude-n635345\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent attack on Oz<\/a> where he claims that DC \u201ccould use a kick in the balls,\u201d but things just go haywire from there. That\u2019s a common theme for the Democrat, and Hayes doesn\u2019t attempt to offer a correction or ask for clarification. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RkDXq64zkxU&amp;t=1643s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interview<\/a> doesn\u2019t get any more interesting from there, with Fetterman being unable to articulate even basic policy goals.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019m not even talking about the way he talked, but the substance. Example he was asked about what he would do about crime and he babbled about how he\u2019s actually running on crime (?) and then about how Oz lived in New Jersey in a home once owned by King George (???).<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 AG (@AGHamilton29) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AGHamilton29\/status\/1576203190915465216?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">October 1, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>There\u2019s a reason Fetterman has only appeared with leftwing activists on MNSBC since his stroke, and it\u2019s not to receive hard-hitting questions.<\/p>\n<p>Back to Fetterman\u2019s health, he has consistently claimed that his problems resulting from his stroke are only \u201cauditory,\u201d which would suggest he just has trouble hearing (thus the demand for closed captions at the debate). Clearly, though, he has mental processing issues that cause him to forget things, mix up words, and generally make no sense. If he\u2019d just admit that, perhaps people could have a real conversation about his qualifications for office.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, we get these weird, confusing performances where Fetterman tries to repeat his rehearsed talking points while rarely being able to do so coherently. You can bet that Hayes sent over the questions prior to their \u201cinterview,\u201d and even still, the Democrat candidate can\u2019t get it right.<\/p>\n<p>And whether the left likes it or not, Fetterman\u2019s health has become a problem for him. Oz is <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/joesquire\/2022\/09\/30\/pennsylvania-very-much-within-reach-for-oz-new-poll-finds-n635347\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">surging in the polls<\/a> for a reason, and it\u2019s not just because the Republican has found a wedge point with his tough-on-crime messaging. Clearly, voters are concerned that the guy who has steadfastly refused to debate (with only one tentatively scheduled just before the election) and sounds like a vegetable while making vegetable \u201cjokes\u201d isn\u2019t up for the job.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, as I just alluded to, Fetterman\u2019s campaign is just a clown show. It\u2019s based entirely on saying \u201cNew Jersey\u201d over and over. He has no actual policy platform he ever speaks about aside from how much he loves unions. I guess we\u2019ll see how that works out for him, but the latest signs are not good.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\nTrending on Redstate Video\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Fetterman appeared on MSNBC with Chris Hayes Friday evening, and what followed was one of the odder moments in the history of cable news, both because of what<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1668313,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1668311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1668311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1668311"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1668311\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1668313"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1668311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1668311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1668311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
