Democratic Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, who is known for his stumbling speeches, once again tripped over his words during an interview with The New York Times. Fetterman, who suffered a stroke earlier this year, had to resort to using a tablet to transcribe voice to text so that he could answer questions from reporters.
So what exactly is happening here in this NYT Fetterman interview?
“…we can fight for things that are meaningful. That we should have no hungry. Hanger. Hangry. Hanger. Hangry.”https://t.co/9YpPbrRwHG pic.twitter.com/hW2jRuC3Pc

During the interview, Fetterman was asked about his cynicism towards the political posturing that occurs in Congress. Fetterman’s response was, once again, plagued with fumbling words and grammar mistakes, making it difficult to comprehend his message. “Everyone here is cynical, of course. But we can fight for things that are meaningful. That we should have no hungry. Hanger. Hangry. Hanger. Hangry,” Fetterman said. Fetterman’s statement was puzzling and incoherent, as it seemed that he couldn’t even articulate a basic word
It’s no surprise that Fetterman’s speech difficulties are being held against him by his political opponents. Fetterman’s constant fumbling over his words and inability to communicate clearly, paints a picture of his incompetence and lack of leadership qualities.
Last month, Fetterman’s struggles with articulating his thoughts was evident during a hearing about a collapsed highway in Philadelphia. During the hearing, Fetterman stammered, “Uh no, I – uh, would just, um, really like to, you know — the 95, 95, 95. You know?”

Fetterman’s incompetence as a senator is a cause for concern not only for his constituents but for the entire nation. It’s alarming that someone with such severe speech impairment is holding a position of power in the government. Fetterman’s inability to communicate effectively poses a threat to the nation’s democracy and governance as a whole. It’s time for Fetterman to step down and let someone with better leadership capabilities take his place. If nothing is done, the nation runs the risk of being led by a leader who can barely put together a coherent sentence.
