Remember how the mainstream media assured us that John Fetterman was perfectly fine after his stroke? That he just needed some closed captioning and everything was A-OK? Well, now that he's taken some decidedly un-progressive positions—particularly his strong support for Israel—suddenly there are "concerns" about his health.
A new hit piece from New York Magazine, based on conversations with disgruntled staffers, is pushing a narrative about his mental health issues. Make no mistake about it: this isn't about health—it's about politics.
Sen. John Fetterman’s unwavering support for Israel after the October 7 attack sparked backlash from within his own ranks. Sixteen former campaign staffers anonymously called his stance a “gutting betrayal,” while his chief of staff publicly defended him, reminding critics, “no one elected you to represent them.” But the discontent wasn’t limited to staff. Fetterman’s wife, Gisele, reportedly confronted him in a heated argument at his Senate office just weeks into the conflict.
“They are bombing refugee camps. How can you support this?” Gisele reportedly told her husband.
“That’s all propaganda,” he replied.
Apparently, Sen. John Fetterman’s staunch support for Israel prompted concerns from those around him about his mental health. As he became the most vocal Israel hawk in the Democratic Party, the piece claims he began “acting bizarrely” and skipping crucial medical checks. According to the article, the Senate doctor reportedly saw him nearly walk into a group of people, and staffers texted Gisele Fetterman, saying, “Everyone here is feeling alarmed.”
She replied, “My fear is something is off and it won’t register,” later telling her husband she wouldn’t speak to him “until his blood is tested.” One former staffer even recalled Gisele asking over the phone, “Who did I marry? Where is the man I married?” Convenient timing, considering the backlash he faced from the left over Gaza.
Let's be honest here: the timing of these "concerns" and the article’s publication is suspicious. The same media figures who vigorously defended Fetterman's fitness for office during his campaign are now wringing their hands over his mental state. What changed? Obviously, his positions on key issues like Israel and border security didn't align with the radical left's agenda.

The article's author, Ben Teris, actually undermines his own narrative when he admits, "I didn't find any indication that the stroke had left him cognitively impaired." In fact, Teris noted that Fetterman appeared engaged and excited during their hour-long conversation.
So I guess cognitive impairment isn’t a big deal, but supporting Israel is? Let’s be honest: this isn’t a story about John Fetterman’s health. It’s about how fast the left cannibalizes its own the moment someone dares to step out of line. The second a Democrat breaks ranks with the party’s radical orthodoxy, every concern Republicans ever raised—once mocked or dismissed outright—suddenly becomes fair game. Funny how that works, isn’t it?
It’s Joe Biden all over again.
We spent months exposing the very real (and very obvious) cognitive impairment of John Fetterman during the 2022 campaign, and yet the media went to incredible lengths to say that everything was fine.
