The U.S. Senate campaign for full-time stroke patient and part-time Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman has released new tests meant to assure the public that Fetterman’s odd behavior and poor speech skills should be of no concern to voters.
Fetterman’s campaign released the findings of two common post-stroke tests this afternoon, giving them to the New York Times to report rather than the public. He suffered a stroke about four months ago, and remained hospitalized on election day and thus unable to deliver a victory speech.
Those tests – the Saint Louis University Mental Status Examination (SLUMS) and the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS), according to Newsmax – found that Fetterman’s mental faculties are normal for a high school graduate around his age, according to Fetterman’s campaign, filtered through the Times.
In other words, Fetterman’s campaign would have us believe that John’s always been unable to speak in complete sentences.

Fetterman’s presence on the campaign trail slowed to a crawl after he suffered the stroke, with Valiant News recently reporting that the Democrat did not have a single campaign event scheduled during the month of August. However, Fetterman’s campaign offered to train volunteers on how to “ratio” his enemies on Twitter.
Following our reporting, Fetterman’s campaign announced a small number of in-person events, including a rally with Joe Biden. These rallies have resulted in viral videos where Fetterman seems unable to master even basic English.

At one point Fetterman drew laughs and cringes from both sides of the aisle when he proudly raised a pink t-shirt above his head and shouted, “I am John Fetterwoman,” ostensibly to prove that he supports women, transgenderism, and the color pink.

Fetterman’s campaign originally used the candidate’s failing speech abilities as an excuse to dodge a debate against his Republican opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz, though has more recently agreed to a single debate a mere two weeks before the election.
Oz’s campaign expressed doubt regarding the alleged findings regarding Fetterman’s brain, with Newsmax reporting that an Oz campaign representative asked, “How can anyone glean anything from a quote in the New York Times story provided by a campaign spokesman about what a doctor said to somebody else?”
While the campaign finally seems willing to speak to voters about Fetterman’s mental faculties, it has yet to comment on the weird growth that seems to have grown on the back of the candidate’s neck.
