Rooting for Senator Fetterman

Tom Purcell on Feb 21, 2023

I can’t imagine the daily pressures Fetterman is going through as he tries adjusting to his demanding new role — which, as I noted above, is difficult for a person in perfect health — while recovering from a stroke and now dealing with depression issues.

His challenges are compounded by the nastiness of Washington politics, which has some people calling him unfit to serve and demanding that he resign immediately.

To those partisans I say: put a sock in it!

We Pennsylvanians are a good-hearted people. Whether we voted for Fetterman or not, we feel awful about his situation and are praying for a clean bill of health.

Senator Fetterman, please know that we are rooting for you.
