President Trump didn’t hold his tongue when it comes to calling out Democratic senate candidate John Fetterman.
At his rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, President Trump called out Fetterman for “dressing like a teen who gets high in his parent’s basement”.
Trump wouldn’t stop there though!
He would continue and would say “Fetterman supports taxpayer funded drug dens and the complete decriminalization of illegal drugs, including heroin, cocaine, crystal meth and ultra lethal fentanyl,”.
He would conclude his statement about Fetterman by saying: “and by the way, he takes them himself”.

The Independent covered the story too:
Donald Trump on Saturday went on an extended rant about Pennsylvania lieutenant governor and Democratic senate candidate John Fetterman that ended with him accusing Mr Fetterman of using multiple illegal drugs.
Mr Trump was speaking at a Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, political rally in support of GOP Senate candidate Mehmet Oz when he began speaking about Mr Fetterman, who is currently leading Mr Oz in most public polling.
He said the Pennsylvania lieutenant governor — who is known for his trademark campaign trail uniform of shorts and hooded sweatshirts — dresses “like a teenager getting high in his parents basement” and called him a “raging lunatic” who not only supports legalisation of illicit drugs but partakes of them personally.
“Fetterman supports taxpayer funded drug dens and the complete decriminalization of illegal drugs, including heroin, cocaine, crystal meth and ultra lethal fentanyl,” he said. “And by the way, he takes them himself”.
Trump just called Fetterman 'disgusting'

The Daily Beast added these details:
At a MAGA rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, on Saturday night former President Donald Trump, without evidence, accused Dr. Mehmet Oz’s Democratic rival John Fetterman of using drugs.
“Fetterman supports taxpayer-funded drug dens and the complete decriminalization of illegal drugs, including heroin, cocaine, crystal meth, and ultra lethal fentanyl,” Trump said. Then in true Trump fashion, the ex-president appeared to go off script, claiming, “By the way, he [Fetterman] takes them himself.” A Trump spokesperson didn’t return The Daily Beast’s request for comment late on Saturday evening.
