But that didn\u2019t solve the problems for him.<\/p>\n<p>Don Lemon has been switched to the CNN morning show after being demoted by CEO Chris Licht from his show in the evening. Fetterman was a big test for him because normally he would be spewing all kinds of Democratic-supporting vitriol in such an interview. But now he appeared to be making an attempt to ask real questions of Fetterman on some of the important questions.<\/p>\n<p>Lemon pushed on the question of the medical records. Fetterman<a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/sister-toldjah\/2022\/10\/31\/john-fetterman-declares-himself-fit-to-be-serve-and-i-have-thoughts-n652179\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> has refused to release his medical records<\/a> or have people question his doctors. All he\u2019s submitted is a letter from one of his doctors who is also a donor saying that he\u2019s able to serve. So Lemon asked him if he was trying to hide something from the voters. Lemon said Fetterman was asking voters to trust him \u201cwithout the full story.\u201d Fetterman continued to duck the question and say scrambled things.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">DON LEMON: \u201cThe voters may wonder\u2026is there a reason that you don\u2019t want your doctors to take questions?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>FETTERMAN: \u201cI just believe that we have our doctors weigh in on that, and they believe that I\u2019m fit to serve.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/V5WzSxo5xe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/V5WzSxo5xe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Townhall.com (@townhallcom) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/townhallcom\/status\/1587447928871952387?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">November 1, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI just believe that we have our doctors weigh in on that, and they believe that I\u2019m fit to serve,\u201d Fetterman said. Of course, the doctors haven\u2019t fully \u201cweighed in\u201d and we haven\u2019t seen the medical records. After the debate where it became clear what a problem Fetterman has with basic understanding, voters have a right to the answers. Democrats don\u2019t care about his health or whether he can serve, all they\u2019re hoping is they can get him across the line, so they can hold control of the Senate and hold onto power. That\u2019s shameful.<\/p>\n<p>There was this answer about Elon Musk and Twitter that didn\u2019t make a lot of sense.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>But the problem isn\u2019t just his cognition, it\u2019s his horrible policies and failure to understand the issues.<\/p>\n<p>Lemon asked a good question about inflation and if he thought Joe Biden could have done more about it. Fetterman gave a bizarre answer, again it was scrambled, but he tried to blame the 2017 Trump tax cuts for inflation rather than Joe Biden\u2019s spending, \u201cis well true.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WATCH: Don Lemon asks John Fetterman about the \u201cbiggest cause of inflation\u201d and whether \u201cthe Biden administration should be doing more.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Instead of addressing the question, Fetterman bizarrely starts talking about the 2017 Trump tax cuts. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Wv0w2RDtMx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/Wv0w2RDtMx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1587419134328872960?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">November 1, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Inflation was 1.4 percent under Trump and is now 8.2 under Joe Biden, so this is nonsense. Fetterman says nothing about spending. Instead, he appeared to say that the answer was to bring those rates back \u201cinto align with what they should have been.\u201d Translation: it sure sounded like he just said that his solution for inflation would be to tax people more in the middle of a recession. If you wanted to make things worse, that\u2019s exactly what you\u2019d do. That also would put paid to Biden\u2019s claim that he wasn\u2019t going to raise taxes on people.<\/p>\n<p>Watch this exchange where Lemon again asks a good question about Fetterman\u2019s lie on fracking. During the debate, Fetterman claimed he\u2019d always <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/bonchie\/2022\/10\/25\/john-fettermans-debate-was-much-worse-than-expected-and-three-moments-perfectly-illustrate-that-n649099\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">supported fracking <\/a>\u2014 a demonstrable lie, which Dr. Mehmet Oz and the moderators both rebutted. Fetterman tried to clean it up in this interview and say that his prior position against fracking (which he previously had denied) was because of environmental concerns. But Lemon nails him on that.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WATCH: CNN calls out <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JohnFetterman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@JohnFetterman<\/a> for flip-flopping on fracking. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2018 when running for Lt.

Fetterman seems stunned and has no real answer, saying \u201cThey were all part of that.\u201d What does that even mean? That wasn\u2019t an answer, because there was no real answer. He was just lying and flip-flopping.<\/p>\n<p>Astonishing to say it, but that was a good interview by Lemon and it busted Fetterman in yet another lie. Maybe he wants to keep his job, or maybe CNN wants to change, but they just caught Fetterman lying again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\nTrending on Redstate Video\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Fetterman was on with Don Lemon on Tuesday morning and yes, he was using the close captioning system for the interview.
