The mainstream media boasted a doctor gave Pennsylvania Democrat Senate candidate John Fetterman a clean bill of health. Questions have arisen lately due to his stroke in May.
The Washington Free Beacon mentioned something the media buried or ignored: the doctor donated to Fetterman’s campaign and Democrats.
I usually wouldn’t think much of it. But with the way Fetterman, his campaign, the media, and the Democrats have responded to the stroke and his recovery, I don’t know how you can’t raise your eyebrow with the information:
Chen’s political leanings could raise questions about his medical assessment of Fetterman, whose race against Republican Mehmet Oz could determine which party controls the Senate. According to campaign finance records, Chen has given tens of thousands of dollars over the years to Democratic candidates and party committees. He contributed $1,330 to Fetterman’s campaign, including a $500 donation in June 2021, before he became Fetterman’s doctor. Chen donated to other Senate candidates running in close races this cycle, including Rep. Val Demings (D., Fla.) and Sen. Raphael Warnock (D., Ga.).”This isn’t about politics,” Fetterman campaign spokesman Joe Calvello told the Washington Free Beacon. “It’s an independent, detailed medical report written by John’s primary care doctor based on his latest office visit from last week.”
The media and the left tried to steer the attention away from Fetterman, but some Pennsylvania outlets pushed him to release medical information and debate Republican candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz. Some leftists even started questioning Fetterman.
But those voices didn’t get much attention, even though one belonged to The Washgington Post editorial board. Look at how the media treated NBC reporter Dasha Burns. All she said was that Fetterman “has a hard time understanding what he’s hearing” and making small talk.
You’d think Burns accused Fetterman of eating puppies.
But since Fetterman is healthy, I guess he can debate Oz now, right? No excuses!
