Elaborate steps were taken when his train would arrive or depart so that he could be transferred from the car to the train, lifted in and out, without anyone seeing and without anyone thinking that it was painful to watch,\u201d O\u2019Donnell continued.<\/p>\n<p>The MSNBC host told another story about Roosevelt for good measure, talking about a young girl who had noticed the president\u2019s wheelchair and said that she would keep the president\u2019s secret.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPainful to watch quickly became an oft-repeated phrase on Twitter last night during the Pennsylvania Senate campaign debate because Democratic candidate John Fetterman suffered a stroke this spring and has not fully recovered 100 percent of his verbal fluency,\u201d O\u2019Donnell concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MSNBC anchor Lawrence O\u2019Donnell compared embattled Senate candidate John Fetterman (D-PA) to former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt during a recent monologue.
