Chris Cuomo: It's not unfair to point out Fetterman's speech difficulties

[SunSeeker]

5. No Chris, you don't need to be a slick talker to be a Senator.

So you found an "Independent" guy who says he switched his vote from Fetterman to Oz because of the debate. I say you found a lying Republican who was always going to vote for Oz.

So what exactly did you expect Fetterman and the Democratic Party to do to "prepare" viewers? Fetterman did interviews after his stroke. He disclosed he would need closed captioning. Fetterman disclosed in interviews and at the debate that he has trouble with auditory processing and finding words on the spot.

You wrongly suggest his speech/auditory interpretation problems mean he can't think or reason either, and that is clearly not true. THAT is unfair.

Fetterman's positions have not changed because of his stroke. He will still vote in accordance with those position to protect a women's right to choose and to protect workers. His doctors said he is recovering well and will eventually fully recover. Oz will never recover from being a lying, carpet bagging asshole who wants to kill Social Security and women's right to control their own bodies.

And you suggest that the Democratic Party could have forced Fetterman to leave the race after his stroke, even though he had his stroke on May 13, just 4 days before the May 17 primary. That is not only ridiculous but incredibly cruel. He won the primary in a four-way race while in the hospital four days after the stroke and just hours after undergoing surgery to implant a pacemaker with a defibrillator. But you would have had him propped up in his hospital bed and announcing he was quitting. And how would that have worked out for Democrats, Chris? Please tell us, honestly.
