As Democrats continue to panic, one senator has a clear message for them: calm down.
Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman went after critics of Biden on Twitter last night, hitting back on those claiming that the debate showed that Biden is unfit for the presidency and should be replaced.
The Washington Examiner writes:
Fetterman dismissed a performance in which Biden appeared to prove his critics right with his lack of mental acuity and pointed back to his own nightmarish debate performance in 2022.
“I refuse to join the Democratic vultures on Biden’s shoulder after the debate,” Fetterman posted on X with a screenshot of a Politico article titled “‘WTF’: Panicked Dems start looking for alternatives to Biden.”
The Pennsylvania Democrat continued, saying: “Morning-after thermonuclear beat downs from my race from the debate and polling geniuses like 538 predicted l’d lose by 2. And what happened? The only seat to flip and won by a historic margin (+5). Chill the f*** out.”
Fetterman debated Republican candidate Mehmet Oz in October 2022 and didn’t deliver an ideal performance. At one point, when answering a question about energy, Fetterman failed to deliver a contrast between him and Oz on fracking, saying, “I do support fracking and I don’t, I don’t … I support fracking and I stand and I do support fracking.”
“No one knows more than me that a rough debate is not the sum total of the person and their record,” the senator said.

In 2022, The Washington Post summarized Fetterman’s only debate against Republican Mehmet Oz as “a rough night.” He went on to easily win despite being severely handicapped.

Only a CLOWN would defend “Beijing Joe” Biden . . . The whole WORLD knows about his MASSIVE failures for ALL to SEE!
How true it is. Biden looked like he didn’t know where he was. His slurring of words and his pointing the finger without looking inside of himself because if someone was a felon is him!
