Clout learns there’s been some serious turnover in Sen. John Fetterman’s office. In the last month, all three of Fetterman’s top communications staffers have left Capitol Hill.

At least he spared us from Oz becoming a senator. Even with the personality change, he isn’t nearly as bad as that grifter. Now hopefully someone can primary him when his seat is available, or better yet maybe someone can convince him to step aside since he’s no longer the person he used to be.
The stroke may well have been part of it, but he honestly told us who he was when he pulled a shotgun on an unarmed Black man out for a jog, all because he thought he’d heard gunshots and assumed the man was running away.

So, the stroke turned him more Republican?
He pulled a shotgun on a man back in 2013, so before he was even elected, and well before his stroke, so I have no idea how any of what you said relates at all.

So you agree- he’s racist.
Having worked in security for decades, including training people to use firearms… everyone is fucking racist.
Most people have the decency to not act on it to that extreme, though,
The only ones who do, are the ones who don’t care that they’re racist. For example, in bias training the “shoot, no-shoot” test (which is actually kinda flawed), most cops, and most anyone whose had similar training know better- and on the test can flash the correct answer.
This doesn’t mean, in the field, knowing they can get away with it, that racist cops always behave appropriately.

And if you were paying attention, you’d have seen how that the shotgun thing happened before he was in office. Before his stroke.
I liked the guy before too. I was fooled. It’s okay, I’m not omniscient.
Edit: Here’s a 2022 article on the 2013 incident.
and a 2013 article
He jumped in a truck and chased down a guy that was running after getting spooked by fireworks. Getting spooked is understandable. Chasing a guy down in a truck is not. Brandishing a weapon to detain the guy you have no cause to detain; after chasing him down?
This story reads more like Ahmad Arbery, than hero mayor. Maybe he tried to right the wrong, but he still did wrong- and very nearly got a man killed.
He held an innocent man basically hostage with a shotgun. Folks love making excuses to handwave racism and now are shocked that Fetterman is what he is now.
If only there was this much sympathy for the man he pulled a gun on.
Remember when the dude forgave him and endorsed him? No? That doesn’t fit your narrative, does it?
How does that change what he did? Or how he’s acting NOW?
Oh yeah, it doesn’t.
What was done after the incident to rectify the situation is some pretty important context. You should be doing your best to give the whole story when offering your viewpoint on it. What value is getting people to agree with you when the information you’ve shared has details removed?

What’s he done? I was a fan from a distance during his campaign.

Is it the stroke? This seems insane.

This is who he always was.
I knew I shouldn’t have trusted someone from York county
The stroke is a red herring, he’s on the Israeli take
You can trust this folks, it’s on the internet, so it must be true especially in light of the cited evidence.
