After Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman had difficulty speaking during his highly anticipated debate with Mehmet Oz, the stroke survivor’s campaign blamed the caption system provided for him as being “delayed and filled with errors.”

“It is unfortunate that Mr. Fetterman is now criticizing the closed captioning process employed by Nexstar during tonight’s debate,” Nexstar communications chief Gary Weitman said in a statement. “Both candidates agreed to the technical set-up for the closed captioning process weeks ago, which was implemented at the request of the Fetterman campaign. Both candidates were offered the opportunity for two full rehearsals with the same equipment used in tonight’s debate; Mr. Fetterman chose to do only one. In fact, Nexstar’s production team went to extraordinary lengths to ensure the effectiveness of the closed captioning process, and to accommodate several last-minute requests of the Fetterman campaign. The closed captioning process functioned as expected during rehearsal and again during tonight’s debate. We regret that Mr. Fetterman and his campaign feel otherwise.”

I'm sure it has nothing to do with him being a neanderthal.

He was reading his answers off a teleprompter during the debate? That should be enough to disqualify him.

He shouldn’t have needed it in the first place. I’m sorry he is disabled but maybe he shouldn’t be trying to lead others if he can’t verbally communicate without captioning.

We’ve set a pretty low bar when all that is expected for a candidate is to stand there and read words aloud, and call that a “debate”.

The fact that Fetterman apparently can’t even do that says a lot about him and his competence.

Then again, look at our current President.

Oz is a mess.

But Fetterman is not suitable for that position. The man can’t hear and understand verbal communication. He should have withdrawn from the primary and let someone else run.

But I guess the fix is in and they aren’t really worried about the election. So they are pushing him really hard.

Let's forget the debate nonsense. HOW, HOW does Fetterman have ANY chance on winning this seat? Are we kidding? THIS would be a stolen election w/o a doubt.

Fet is brain dead loser. How does he have a chance w/o cheating?

Penn peeps stupider than Looziany peeps?

Ahh, didn't see that one coming.
Excellent excuse. Blame something you requested to set up just for your candidate.

While you're at it, go ahead and blame the lighting, too. Or the podium.

The blame game is nauseating. Surprised it was the previous admins fault.
