Fetterman campaign tries to throw closed captioning tech under the bus (company calls BS)

In the days leading up to the debate between Dr. Mehmet Oz and John Fetterman in Pennsylvania, the Democrat candidate’s campaign set out to lower expectations by anticipating awkward pauses and missed words:

“We are prepared for Oz’s allies and right-wing media to circulate malicious viral videos after the debate to try to paint John in a negative light because of awkward pauses, missing some words and mushing other words together.”

There were many reasons Fetterman’s campaign tried to lower expectations, and sure enough, you know what happened next.

However, now the Fetterman campaign is blaming the closed captioning system that assisted him last night:

“We are thrilled with John’s performance. He did remarkably well tonight – especially when you consider that he’s still recovering from a stroke and was working off of delayed captions filled with errors. John won countless exchanges, counter-punched aggressively, and pushed back on Oz’s cruelty and attacks,” Fetterman for Pennsylvania communications director Joe Calvello said.

Frankly we’re a bit surprised there wasn’t some blame reserved for climate change, but maybe they’ll get to that later.

The company that provided the closed captioning services denied any allegations that the problem was with the CC tech and not the candidate:

The Fetterman campaign throwing people under the bus for the candidate’s issues? That seems on brand.

Here’s another Democrat that can’t fail, he can only be failed by somebody else.

Fetterman’s campaign needs to pick an angle:

They would definitely appreciate it if people would believe that both can be true.
