The heckler continued, "You have blood on your hands. Get off the stage."

Fetterman, who did not directly respond to the man's shouts, said he could not understand what was being said because of his previous stroke.

"The joke is on you. I had a stroke," Fetterman told the protester. "I can't fully understand what you're saying."

The Constitution of the United States of America gives the Senate the power to expel a senator by a two-thirds vote.

There should be a vote called on the matter to expel Fetterman.  At least get the Dems on the record that they don't care that he's unfit for the Senate.

The dems are probably waiting for Republicans to expel that habitual liar and alleged theif George Santos. But people rather be tribal and make sure they have votes than lead by example.

Maybe George Santos is still there because when politicians on both sides of the aisle look in the mirror they see George Santos looking back at them. :rofl:

To be fair, he cannot comprehend things being spoken to him live. He needs to read or have it explained slowly/repeatedly.  This is what was stated on why he couldn't have a debate.  So could he still do his job with this problem?  Probably, but 1 has to ask is this the best that the area he represents can produce?

Wrong, even if taken slowly or written, Brandon cannot comprehend.   They gotta pump him with drugs so he can read a tele prompter and he even messes that up.

At least Fetts people said he able to comprehend things.

What Fetterman is having to deal with is not just the problem understanding and talking brought on by his stroke.

He had to check himself into a treatment facility right after winning the election for depression and who know what else.  We only get the parts of the story they want us to know.

As for his mental capacity, listening to and understanding what others say is an integral part of his job.  He has to hear what members of the Senate, witnesses in hearings, and speakers at events say.  If he needs assistance in every part of that, then we might as well have his assistant serve as Senator.

Also, how do we know the assistants are feeding him the true "rephrasing" of what's being said?  Just like in the game of telephone, meanings and nuances can be lost in translation unintentionally.  Worst case, they can intentionally give him a different version of what was said to manipulate him.

Then there's the whole attire issue.  Who chooses wardrobe as the sword to fall on when they are providing so many other reasons to be expelled or recalled? 

He's a joke.  He's the embodiment of the belief that you really can vote for a glass of water for Congress, because the voting is all in lock-step with their party 98% of the time.  Might as well just have one person from each party in the House and Senate for all the good voting does.  Think of all the money we'd save.

Or DID they vote for someone like this?

Hmmmmm.........

If he wins again in 2024 the hmmmmmm....will turn into HMMMMMMMMM..... :rofl:

I think this is a very fair objective look at things. Slow to speak or to comprehend does not mean stupid or incapable. In some jobs sure, as a congressperson not so much.

This is not grounds to remove him from office in my opinion and if it were democrats should be the ones to do it, not republicans. GOP has enough problems within their own ranks that they should be forcing out long before they should worry about a guy with this handicap.
