As you certainly know by now, an NBC News reporter is in hot water for saying that Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman had difficulty with the interview, which was close captioned. As Twitchy reported, there have been countless accusations of “ableism” and just as many people tying themselves into knots trying to convince us that Fetterman is ready to serve as a senator. CNN’s Sanjay Gupta brought out a model brain to show what’s going on inside Fetterman’s head.
How is this different from Sen. Tammy Duckworth needing a wheelchair? He’s just hard of hearing … would you throw someone out of the Senate who wears glasses? Suppose they depend on corrective lenses to do their jobs? No, seriously:
Is it the position of NBC News that a senator with glasses cannot be trusted in office because they use assistive technology to accommodate their disability?

The irony is people supporting Fetterman for Senate are going out of their way to claim he’s disabled. But he says he’ll be better by January. So is he disabled or not?
Yes, we are now at the point where people are comparing Fetterman to Stephen Hawking:
An important interview with top Senate contender. Will Pennsylvanians be comfortable with someone representing them who had to conduct a TV interview this way? https://t.co/OBoEzEpFxi

Would democrats want fetterman being their pilot or surgeon?

Does Fetterman suffer from ALS?

Fetterman is closer to Terry Schiavo and you guys wanted her dead. Not in congress.

Delete your account and apologize to your father for being such a disappointment.

Y’all have made some pretty shitty comparisons today but I think this one is the shittiest

Many weren't. But Hawking's qualifications to run mathemarical circles around them made it a sort of moot point.
Fetterman has no such body of expertise to call on. He's just a politician with a bad record who hasn't recovered from a life threatening stroke.

Hawking never had a decline in his cognitive abilities. You're dishonest.
— Jefferson Bailey (@JeffersonBaile6) October 13, 2022
Hawking is quite literally the complete opposite of Fetterman. His brain worked magnificently.

This guy's brain works. Fettermans doesn't…
Why is this difficult for you?

Lmao it’s almost like one could still do quantum physics and the other is literally borderline brain dead, you dishonest hack

Did you just really compare Fetterman's condition to Stephen Hawking's pic.twitter.com/5mE2jMRCjk

Fetterman sure as shit ain’t no Stephen Hawking!
Now do Biden!!
— SunriseHolyH2O (@SunriseHolyH2O) October 13, 2022
Good grief you people are just idiots
— ZW (@zwatson18) October 13, 2022
Just putting Fetterman and Hawking together in the same headline makes our brains hurt. C’mon, man!
