On Tuesday, Republican Senate candidate Mehmet Oz faced off against Democrat John Fetterman in the campaign’s only debate. As predicted, it was a dumpster fire for Fetterman from the very beginning.
He started the debate by telling everyone: “Hi. Good night, everybody.”

And it went downhill from there.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
John Fetterman: "My doctoral believes that I’m fit to be serving and that’s what I believe is where I’m standing."

And he wants us to understand that he supports fracking, and doesn’t support fracking. Or something. All at the same time.
Fetterman: “I absolutely support fracking.”
Moderator: “In a 2018 interview, you said ‘I don’t support fracking at all. I never have.”
Fetterman: “I’ve always supported fracking.”
LIAR! pic.twitter.com/9Bx6YKsy3p

Fetterman is asked about previously saying he wanted to eliminate fracking:

Then he uttered gibberish when asked about the minimum wage:
Moderator: Small business owners who have told us that if the minimum wage were increased to $15 an hour, it would put them out of business. You have 30 seconds.
…
John Fetterman: We all have to make sure that everyone that works is able to that’s the most American bargain, that if you work full time, you should be able to live in dignity as well. True. And I believe they haven’t had any businesses. You can’t have businesses being subsidized by not paying individuals that just simply can’t afford to pay their own way.
Moderator: Okay, Mr. Fetterman. Thank you. Mr. Oz. Turning to you.

Moderator: Okay, Mr. Federman. Thank you. Mr. Oz. Turning to you.
When asked about inflation, Fetterman rambled about Dr. Oz having 10 mansions…
Moderator: "Has the Biden administration overspent and, if so, where do you think [it] should be cut." You have 60 seconds."
*Pause"
Fetterman: "Here's what I think we have to fight about inflation here right now. That's we need to fight about: inflation right now." #PASen pic.twitter.com/Rln5WFRlGZ

Fetterman wrapped up the debate by yelling a lie while Dr. Oz gave his closing statement:

When it was all over, we learned that Fetterman impressed… no one. At all. Not even Chris Cuomo and Joe Scarborough.

I spoke to Fetterman recently, and I expected him to be very bad tonight. But he was much much worse than I expected (and much worse than in our one-on-one conversation.)

There is no amount of empathy for and understanding about Fetterman’s health and recovery that changes the fact that this is absolutely painful to watch.

It is very painful
— Elizabeth Vargas (@EVargasTV) October 26, 2022
John Fetterman’s ability to communicate is seriously impaired. Pennsylvania voters will be talking about this obvious fact even if many in the media will not.
— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) October 26, 2022
This is painful to watch regardless of one’s politics.

One person suggested:
Oz basically just needs to let Fetterman speak. Wow.
— Fuzzy Chimp 🇺🇸 (@fuzzychimpcom) October 26, 2022
Works for us. It’ll be interesting to see how the liberal media reports this…
Keep in mind, Fetterman even had the assistance of a monitor to help him “communicate.”
Afterward, Fetterman’s Comms Director, Joe Calvello, took to the stage to drop “f-bombs.”
“For a guy who was just in the hospital months ago, he took it to Dr. Oz pretty f*cking hard tonight,” he said.
The spin got a little heated at times.
