Letter to the editor: Fetterman's ideas, not his health, most concerning

Recently we were informed by Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s doctor, who has also made multiple donations to his Senate campaign, that he is sufficiently recovered from his stroke to be our senator. That’s great, except his stroke isn’t what’s keeping sane people from voting for him. It’s his wacky leftist ideas that the fawning media refuse to report on while carrying water for Democrats in this state.

It’s Fetterman’s radical support for abortion up until the birth of a baby. It’s his support for releasing violent criminals, including murderers, back into society to commit more crime. It’s his crazy socialist economic ideas that have failed everywhere they’ve been tried. It’s the fact that he has lived off his wealthy parents most of his adult life while wearing a Carhartt sweatshirt and pretending to be a blue-collar guy to get the union vote.

Fetterman touts his tenure as mayor of Braddock. Take a ride through that town and talk to the owners of the few businesses that are left. He often missed council meetings and continued that performance as lieutenant governor; the Associated Press reports Fetterman was often absent from state business and on the days he did work, he typically put in four or five hours.

In closing, I have to give Fetterman credit though, for having President Biden appear with him and making him sound completely recovered!
