I did not think much of John Fetterman as a candidate, to say the least. But watching him debate Dr. Oz tonight excited my pity for him, and my anger for everyone around him — his partner, his campaign operation, the Democratic Party of Pennsylvania, and any national party figures who were aware of his condition before this debate.
John Fetterman should not have been on a debate stage tonight. He should be at home, recovering from his stroke. He looked and sounded like the victim of a stroke — unable to form coherent responses to questions asked of him, unsteady in reaching for his rehearsed lines. At times he reminded me of the way a petrified ten-year-old would speak in front of a classroom. And the debate moderators couldn’t help but begin talking to him as if he were that nervous ten-year-old. That is no reason for his shame — he suffered a serious medical incident. It’s to the shame of everyone else who has insisted on his continuing this campaign.
This should not become a scandal only if he loses the race. This is a scandal right now.
