Once again, let’s all thank Pennsylvania for not only voting for Joe Biden in 2020, but also electing the first vegetable to the US Senate in John Fetterman. Little Johnny has been depressed lately, so he checked himself into Walter Reed. I guess he has the sads that he has to wear a suit to his few days at work. Now, it looks like Fetterman may be in Walter Reed for over a month. Thanks again PA!
This comes after the senator checked himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to receive treatment for clinical depression last Wednesday, according to a statement from Fetterman’s chief of staff, Adam Jentleson. He noted that Fetterman would be “receiving treatment on a voluntary basis” after having “experienced depression off and on throughout his life.”
However, that was the second time the senator had been in the hospital in recent weeks. The week before, Fetterman was hospitalized after he “began feeling lightheaded.” At the time, Fetterman’s communication director, Joe Cavello, said that “initial tests did not show evidence of a new stroke” but that more tests would be run.
The senator’s wife, Gisele Fetterman, said in pair of tweets on Thursday, following the news of her husband, “After what he’s been through in the past year, there’s probably no one who wanted to talk about his own health less than John.” She also asked everyone to please respect their family’s privacy during the “difficult time.”
