Fetterman still has ‘a hard time understanding’ conversations, NBC News correspondent reports

NBC News correspondent Dasha Burns reported Tuesday that John Fetterman, the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, still has "a hard time understanding what he’s hearing" ahead of the midterm elections.

Burns appeared on MSNBC’s "Katy Tur Reports" to preview her exclusive interview with the lieutenant governor, which will air in its entirety on Wednesday. Both Burns and Tur noted that this would mark the first time that Fetterman has sat down for a one-on-one interview with a reporter since his stroke in May.

Regarding the stroke, Burns commented that the interview itself showed Fetterman struggling to have verbal conversations.

"We had a monitor set up so he could read my questions because he still has lingering auditory processing issues as a result of the stroke, which means he has a hard time understanding what he’s hearing. Now, once he reads the question, he’s able to understand. You’ll hear he also still has some problems, some challenges with speech. I’ll say that just in some of the small talk prior to the interview, before the closed captioning was up and running, it did seem that he had a hard time understanding our conversations," Burns said.

She also described the interview as "unconventional" and a departure from how she originally spoke with him prior to the stroke.

"Now, Fetterman has always been an unconventional candidate, but this is a particularly unconventional interview. I sat down with him at his home in May before the stroke. This was very different, including literally what the set up looked like," she said.

Burns offered a preview of the interview with Fetterman who also remarking that he still suffers from "lingering" issues after his stroke.

Not a problem. Elect him and The Party will replace him in the Senate with his wife. She will obey The Party just as he would have.

This is how much contempt liberals have for the electorate - trying anything and everything to get this unqualified, damaged, garbage candidate across the finish line, so they can be in control.

[Sounds familiar, no? (Biden)]

You have to elect him in order to find out how dysfunctional he is.

Will he? I’m not so sure and not accepting that as reality. RCP projects a Republican hold in PA and Trafalgar had Oz within 1.8 pts and that was 3 weeks ago with much more momentum going our way since. If you say stuff like the Democrat will win then you are pontificating against your own family, against America, against your children. Be careful of what you put out there.

He also can’t understand the Constitution, and probably a lot of other things. But, unlike his language processing abilities that were lost in his stroke, his Constitution non-comprehension started much earlier.

Fetterman can always be a Senator as long as Schumer is there to pull his strings. He can even have the IQ of a turnip. Only breathing matters.

She should have tried speaking the Black Speech of Mordor. I bet he understands that.

Fetterman couldn’t even make it through a basic, friendly interview with MSNBC: couldn’t hear, couldn’t understand.

I've long had a theory that a candidate is like a Christmas tree.

Elect the tree but all the ornaments come with it.

And, as we see with Brandon, they are what we should be scared of.

So, is this just a roundabout method of announcing he is a democrat? Like using the euphemism “Teen”

America would be better off if all of Congress and our executive branch were vegetables and couldn’t talk or vote.
