Sen. John Fetterman, Democrat of Pennsylvania, responded Tuesday to what was called "stupid hits" in New York magazine, which quoted former staffers who questioned his stubbornness about the job in recent health issues.
Fetterman, who suffered some frustrating strokes during the 2022 campaign, told Fox News Digital that the story that was broken later last week was attacked as "in the 'Goodfellas."
"Sometimes everyone gets beaten up. It's just a stupid hit and we're all moving on."
He also claimed that the former staff member Adam Jentleson, cited by the magazine, had to bear "strange resentment" that he said so critically that the staff many said were irritating about his transformation.

The story says that Jentleson was formerly the supreme assistant to Senator Harry M. Reid.
"But that's where we are and we're all moving forward," Fettman said Tuesday.
Exposures about Fetterman's time on Capitol Hill made social media burn on Friday.

The report also raises questions about tensions with his wife Gisele, his health program, his position on Israel and her continued running with staff.
In the article, the magazine wrote: "All: John Fetterman insists on being healthy, but staff say they no longer know people they once knew." The magazine wrote memories of current and former staff members such as Jentleson, who worked from the Democratic Party of Pennsylvania.
The article received some reports, including the retreat of the Democratic Caucus at the Library of Congress in February 2023.
A staff member told the media that he received a message asking about Fetterman's performance because he was found sitting alone at the table and silently drank soda.
The report continues to claim that lawmakers were "almost hit by cars" and found "hugging" Capitol Hill.

The report said physicians at George Washington University Hospital later determined that he had been severely dehydrated and did not have a second stroke as he was worried about.
Then a discussion was held with the book of that time. When Brown tries to talk to him, D-Ohio's Sherrod Brown finds that Fetterman is almost "Catatonic". Not long after, on February 15, he was admitted Walter Reed Medical Center.
After Fetterman was fired, he "put himself in" the Senate work, becoming more fanatical than ever on issues such as the Israeli Gaza conflict and other issues that have exaggerated his democratic colleagues.
Fox News Digital reached out to New York Magazine but didn't hear it immediately.
Jentleson declined to comment, but he was criticized about the recent remaining progress and criticism.
He recently told the fort that some people have been trying to “prove” their “bad choices” when it comes to rhetoric about the situation in Israel’s Gaza.
