John Fetterman can’t function as a senator

The Democrat-controlled Senate is redoing its entire dress code all because Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has been so mentally stunted by the stroke he suffered that he likely can’t even dress himself.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) changed the dress code so that senators can now wear whatever they like. (Staff members must follow the old dress code because Democrats think only politicians should get special privileges.) The rule change is clearly designed to placate Fetterman, who usually wears a hoodie and shorts and, as a result of the previous dress code, had to indicate his vote from the edge of the Senate floor.

All of this presumably stems from Fetterman’s February stint in a hospital for depression, with the Associated Press reporting in May that Fetterman was much happier being able to do his work in a hoodie and shorts than in a suit. Considering the very real possibility that Fetterman is unable to even dress himself due to the adverse effects of his stroke, that is not a surprise. But it is also yet another reminder that he belongs nowhere near the Senate because he is clearly not physically or mentally fit to serve.
After first suffering his stroke, Fetterman’s campaign reverted to a basement campaign. His team did everything it could to keep his condition and his drastic cognitive decline secret. He finally agreed to a debate after early voting in Pennsylvania had already begun, and he managed to squeak out a general election victory as a result.
And yet, his condition clearly has not improved. Since suffering his stroke, Fetterman is barely able to speak English or understand it when someone else is speaking. He has relied on a closed captioning machine to understand what people are saying and can only follow it up with incoherent ramblings. On top of that, just one month into the job, he had to admit himself to a hospital for depression.

Fetterman can barely function as a person, let alone as a senator. He belongs in a rehabilitation program, not the Senate. The fact is that this rule change was made only for him in order to make him seem less useless than he has been in the Senate for Pennsylvanians, who have given him a -11 approval rating. It was made because Fetterman can’t even be a performative senator, let alone a real senator. He simply cannot function.
Fetterman does not belong in the Senate or any other governmental body. He should be at home, trying to recover whatever is left of his mental faculties. Instead, Democrats have to treat him like a toddler who wants to wear a superhero costume to school, and everyone else is supposed to just pretend that he is a normal, functioning senator.
