As Twitchy reported earlier, Democrats are twisting themselves into pretzels trying to defend Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman, who we learned was unable to understand an NBC News reporter’s questions until they were close captioned. What about senators who wear corrective lenses? Are they unable to do their jobs? What about Sen. Tammy Duckworth, who’s in a wheelchair? Did that disqualify her from being elected to the Senate?
MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell has a “confession” — he used a teleprompter while interviewing Fetterman … in fact, he couldn’t do a show without a teleprompter, nor could any TV news host.
I have a confession to make.
I used a teleprompter in this interview last night. The truth is I am not able to do my show without a teleprompter. (That's true of every TV news host who is discussing the way John Fetterman does interviews.) https://t.co/EAK1TLcwBm

In the real world, the interviewer may use a teleprompter and have questions written in advance, the interviewee doesn’t have a teleprompter or the answers to the questions.

Using a teleprompter as a media personality is completely different than a candidate running for office who should be able to verbalize his responses to questions whether they are closed captioned or spoken to him.

Why debase yourself by acting as if the entirety of the concern, or even just the crucial part of the concern, is that he requires captions on a screen? pic.twitter.com/jPUKWK93yB

He knows Fetterman is not running for TV news host right?

He knows it, just as he knows it’s his job to drag Fetterman over the finish line by any means necessary. Did he ask in his interview how Fetterman knows he’ll be better by January? Is that what his doctors say?
