Sen. John Fetterman's alleged outbreak is reopening concerns about Pennsylvania Democrats still fit in after suffering a stroke a few years ago.
Fetterman, a 55-year-old Democrat, perhaps known for his unique habits, almost always wearing fitness shorts and a hoodie, suffered a stroke in 2022 and was later taken to Walter Reed Hospital for six weeks of depression.
The Associated Press reported this week that Fetterman became excited and began repeating himself while meeting with members of his state’s teacher union, yelling and yelling, “Everyone is angry with me” and “Why do everyone hate me, what did I do?” He also reportedly slammed his hand on the table during the outbreak.
Media reports said Aaron Chapin, president of the Penn State Education Association (PSEA), attended the meeting. Neither Psea nor Chapin responded to Fox News Digital's request to confirm or deny the incident.

Assistants cut off the meeting, took visitors out and began to cry, according to the Associated Press.
Shortly before the outbreak, New York Magazine published a story detailing his focus on the mental health of several current and former staff. The magazine reported that staff “portraited a photo of an unstable senator who could hardly work for his work and whose mental health was more severe and complicated than previously reported.”
This article widely quotes the testimony of former Fetterman Chief of Staff Adam Jentleson, who expresses many intoxicating behaviors about behaviors, including "conspiracy thinking; Megalomania; Megalomania; Megalomania" and "high and low points; long, long, long, repetitive, repetitive and self-centered monologues; all painfully, painfully viewed all rooms.
The author of the article goes on to point out that many staff members are concerned not only about his physical fitness as a senator, but also about “he may pose risks to the Democrats and even himself.”

In response to the Associated Press report, Fetterman's office sent several comments from the Senator to Fox News Digital Numbers, which neither confirmed nor denied the outbreak, said: “It's true: We have a passionate conversation about the collective setbacks of the Trump administration's cuts to our education system. ”
"As a pride product of PSEA, I will always support our teachers and I will always refuse anyone to turn Pennsylvania public schools into credentials programs," the senator said.
Regarding the New York Magazine article, Fetterman dismissed these concerns because “under the guise of “focusing”, the once discontented former staff peddled lies and semi-truth.”

"If that's a real concern, they'll pick up the phone and call me, not the media," Fettman said, adding: "My actual doctor and my family confirmed I'm fine."
