And we’re not talking about his massive, nose-tackling, 6-foot-7 bulk. or Fetterman’s ubiquitous, trademark sweatshirt.
We are discussing Fetterman’s efforts to project a certain image in the Senate. Not “progressive,” as the majority of voters believed. a Democrat who is prepared to support the majority of the House’s tough border control bill, H.R. 2. a Democrat who disagrees with the left side of his party on Hamas and Israel. Additionally, a senator who, in contrast to the majority of his Democratic colleagues, publicly indicted Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J.
Fetterman had trouble processing speech and hearing after his stroke. He now uses an app on his phone that displays the exact words you say to him. The words Fetterman says are then displayed on the app as well. Fetterman is able to participate in discussions and comprehend what is being said around him thanks to the subtitles.
Fetterman was available for an interview with News. For clarity and context, a little alteration has been made to the interaction.
Chad Pergram: Throughout your brief tenure in the Senate, you have occasionally taken a different approach to certain topics than some of your Democratic colleagues.
