After spending considerable time in the hospital for what a statement said was treatment for clinical depression, Sen. John Fetterman arrived for work in the Senate a little less than two weeks ago. Fetterman later chaired his first subcommittee hearing about ten days ago which was a cause for alarm, but now it looks like things are going better because the Pennsylvania Democrat had a beer with a congressional colleague yesterday:
Happy Friday 🍻— cheers to Yinzers everywhere! @SenFettermanPA pic.twitter.com/5Ozneatqol

That video brought with it some medical-related questions:
Why is a guy with severe depression drinking alcohol?
— Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) April 29, 2023
So is Fetterman on antidepressants or not? https://t.co/RIoYUyWRMR pic.twitter.com/lKlSCbF5cp

We’re not sure.
what happens when you mix alcohol and antidepressants?

A man on antidepressants can drink a beer safely???

He was just released from the hospital and you’re giving a man alcohol mixed with antidepressants you buffoon

I’m not a doctor but drinking while depressed isn’t a great idea either. Medicated or not.

He’s on antidepressants, alcohol might not be a good idea.

Alcohol and depression not a good mix 🙄 https://t.co/aPlD9fKViO

That’s assuming they told the truth about why Fetterman was hospitalized.
Ok, now I think someone was lying about why Fetterman was hospitalized. Not believing the depression BS anymore. https://t.co/CznwCjmq3K

We can’t know for sure, but we do know that the congressman has a staffer who knows how to edit videos:
The way this is cut to avoid the Senator speaking reminds me of the fence climbing scene from Taken.
So…many…edits. pic.twitter.com/cwirx2hTjC

Maybe the real takeaway is this:
At least he’s drinking on the job

Just over a week ago Fetterman tweeted about celebrating 4/20:
Smoking weed and downing brews Walter reed has some wild scripts for depression
— Turtle ~🐢 (@Turtledude9) April 29, 2023
