Mentally misfiring Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa.) has done it again, drawing a generous helping of ridicule for his fumbling, bumbling, stumbling remarks on the collapse of a section of I-95 in his home state of Pennsylvania.
Fetterman’s inability to get a coherent sentence out of his mouth took place during a Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works hearing earlier this week and video of his embarrassing performance hit Twitter on Friday where it quickly went viral for all the wrong reasons, at least for Fetterman.
“I, uh, would just, um, really like to, you know — the 95, 95, 95… you know?” Fetterman said, recovering briefly until he butchered the word “artery” in referring to the highway’s importance to the eastern U.S.
John Fetterman weighs in on the I-95 collapse as only he can. Profound, trenchant, eloquent. Good choice, Pennsylvania. pic.twitter.com/wgLU72pu3L

To his credit, the hulking left-wing galoot ditched his standard grungy hoodie and shorts in exchange for a jacket and tie for the hearing but his take on the explosion of the burning tanker truck that took out a bridge and portion of the heavily traveled interstate only provided more fuel for the critics who have questioned his ability to function in the pressure cooker of the U.S. Senate after an incapacitating stroke last year.
Unlike the media which has repeatedly propped Fetterman up, Twitter can be a very cruel place.
He’s right. I-95 is a major “itery” and trying to get into Philly right now is complicated for many.
John Fetterman is a national disgrace. I’m so embarrassed for my state. What will it take for people to wake up?

Just as pitiful is we have a congress that lets him continue.

ATE-ER-EE.
This individual is incapable of fulfilling the responsibilities of US Senator from PA. I hope he is quickly removed from office.— William (@ChurlishPhil) June 16, 2023
Tell me how is this a democracy when the least qualified people are in power!

He’s perfectly fine in no way is his radical activist wife forcing him into this nor are they keeping him in long enuff to replace him with a hand picked successor without the need for an election ..naaaa

Yes. He is brilliant and tackles the subject in a way that provides excellent solutions! I am sure Pennsylvanians are proud of their eloquent choice as senator.

This is an embarrassment to PA. This man is not capable of doing the job.

I’m just surprised he’s not wearing his hoodie.

Despite his very brief tenure in Washington, D.C., which was punctuated by two months off to be treated for depression, the 53-year-old Democrat has been a human blooper reel and a slow-motion train wreck who is painful to watch, especially for the Pennsylvania voters who beclowned themselves by electing him.
