Don Lemon, a CNN anchor, pressed John Fetterman on whether he would allow his doctors to respond to inquiries from the media prior to the election, but he didn’t respond. Does that include the doctor who said he’s fit to run for the Senate after he donated $2,000 to Fetterman’s campaign? That doctor?
On his show on Monday, Lemon interviewed the Democratic contender for one of Pennsylvania’s two U.S. Senate seats and posed a challenging question concerning his health. Even though Fetterman has a stroke, he maintains that he is still fit enough to run for office. Despite this, he frequently misuses words and misunderstands queries.
“Listen, we’ve heard a little from your doctor, but we haven’t heard a lot. You’re asking voters to trust you on your word that your health is good without the full story, so in the interest of full transparency for the voters, do you think it would help if you let your doctors brief the press before election night?” Lemon asked.
“I think we’ve been pretty transparent, you know, we’ve had our doctors just be very clear that they’re here, that we’re able to and fit to serve,” Fetterman responded.
“And from my point, uh, you know, we’ve been also been very transparent in terms of showing up at a debate, and very transparent about, you know, having events in front of thousands and thousands of Pennsylvanians for months, and I was again, it was no secret that I was gonna miss some words, I was gonna mush some words together,” he added.
“And as we’ve been very clear in the debate and during this interview, I’ve been using captioning. It’s all true,” he added. “I believe we’ve been very transparent to give all the voters to make it their choice.”
VISIT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELWhen Fetterman and Republican candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz debated in a public forum and the Democratic candidate found it difficult to provide adequate answers to some issues, concerns about Fetterman’s health grew. When pushed to reconcile conflicting claims regarding fracking in an unpleasant situation, he just restated his support for the process and sounded like the south end of a northbound horse.
The results of the Pennsylvania election will play a role in determining whether Democrats keep their precarious grasp on the US Senate or if Republicans take control of that body.
