Fetterman Comms Director Drops F Bombs Defending Candidate’s Disastrous Debate Performance

Democrat candidate John Fetterman and Republican candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz finally debated in Pennsylvania’s Senate race Tuesday evening.

Fetterman dodged a debate with Oz until the last minute because he has dealt with cognitive difficulties after suffering a stroke in May.

He used closed captioning technology at the debate and still fell apart.

Fetterman opened the debate with “Hi, goodnight everybody.”

Here are a few clips from Fetterman's trainwreck:

Watch the full question, and then watch the full answer.

It feels politically and medically unethical to have Fetterman run for office right now. If the media can't cover this very serious issue after the debate, they are truly hopeless. pic.twitter.com/9ByAZiipA7

The Gateway Pundit reported:

Fetterman did so bad that even liberal reporters criticized his performance.

“This is a disaster for Fetterman,” far-left Time reporter Charlotte Alter said Tuesday night.

Fetterman’s Comms Director, Joe Calvello jumped on stage for some post-debate remarks to the media.

It didn’t go well.

Calvello dropped F bombs as he defended Fetterman’s disastrous debate performance.

“For a guy who was just in the hospital months ago, he took it to Dr. Oz pretty f*cking hard tonight,” Joe Calvello said.

WATCH (Warning - Language)

The spin got a little heated at times.

Here's one Pennsylvania voter's reaction after the Oz-Fetterman debate:

Politico noted:

John Fetterman and Mehmet Oz sparred over abortion, fracking and other hot-button issues during their Senate debate Tuesday night, with the Democrat who suffered a stroke more than five months ago struggling at times to effectively communicate — missing words, pausing awkwardly and speaking haltingly.

The event, the first and only time Oz and Fetterman will spar one-on-one, was billed as the most closely watched midterm debate in the country this year. Pennsylvania’s Senate race, which could determine the balance of power in the chamber, has narrowed to a coin flip with Fetterman, the state’s lieutenant governor, ahead of Oz, a celebrity doctor, by only 1 to 2 percentage points in polling averages.
