John Fetterman Has The Perfect Antidote For Democrats Freaking Out Over Biden’s Debate Performance

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has had quite enough of Democratic hand-wringing about President Joe Biden’s performance at last night’s presidential debate with convicted felon Donald Trump, and he’s got a stern message for them: “Chill the f*ck out!”

On Friday, Fetterman posted this message on Twitter:

“I refuse to join the Democratic vultures on Biden’s shoulder after the debate. No one knows more than me that a rough debate is not the sum total of the person and their record.”

As HuffPost notes, Fetterman had his own debate issues not so long ago.

Fetterman, who is 54, suffered a stroke while running for Senate in 2022 but later went on to debate his Republican opponent Mehmet Oz. It didn’t go well. He struggled to complete sentences, stumbling over words and pausing altogether as a result of the auditory processing disorder he suffered from the stroke.

Some Democrats expressed similar alarm at the time and wondered whether deciding to the debate had tanked Fetterman’s odds of winning the seat.

Fetterman got plenty of support from others on social media.

Trump Raked Over The Coals For WTF?! Debate Comment About ‘Black Jobs’

During Thursday evening’s presidential debate, convicted felon Donald Trump made some bizarre claims about how immigrants coming to the United States are stealing jobs from blacks and Hispanics.

As HuffPost notes, the twice-impeached sex offender began by suggesting that President Joe Biden’s “big kill on the Black people” was allowing “millions” of people to enter the U.S.

“They’re taking Black jobs and they’re taking Hispanic jobs and you haven’t seen it yet but you’re gonna see something that’s going to be the worst in our history.”

Black jobs? What exactly are those? Are there jobs in this country that only black or Hispanic Americans are allowed to apply and be hired for?

Social media users were also left scratching their heads, trying to decipher what Trump had said, including congressional Democrats.

Others then joined in the criticism of Trump, with some suggesting his words were indicative of his deep-seated racism, which first manifested itself when he refused to rent apartments to black tenants in the 1970s.

Newt Gingrich Accidentally Gives Biden A Devastating Insult He Can Use Against Trump

When he meets convicted felon/2024 GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump in Thursday’s debate, President Joe Biden could lower the rhetorical boom on the disgraced former president with one insult, according to ex-Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.

Speaking with NBC News for a piece on the upcoming debate, Gingrich noted that Biden can easily drown out Trump’s claims that he’s too old for a second term by bringing up an episode from the last days of the Trump administration.

“If I were Biden, I would stay away from the age issue and just say, ‘Look, I was wise enough not to try to overthrow the U.S. government,’” he said. “Go through a list of five things in a row and say, ‘I would rather have my age with wisdom than your total lack of seriousness.’”

Former Republican Vice President Dan Quayle also had advice for Biden.

“If I was advising him [Biden], I’d try to make fun of Trump. Try to ridicule him. That will get him mad.”

And Democratic strategist James Carville said he thinks Biden should be in attack mode and go for Trump’s throat.

““At some point, you have to walk into the room and say, ‘We’re going to kick his f—–g ass. We’re going to clock this motherf—-r, you understand?”

If indeed Biden does bring up the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection, it will harm Trump in another way: By getting Donald on a tangent about how he won the 2020 election and had every right to contest the results. But polling shows that voters hate when Trump and his surrogates attempt to relitigate history, especially since Biden won in an electoral landslide in multiple battleground states.

The debate begins Thursday at 9 p.m. on CNN.

Former RNC Official: Here’s How You Can Tell Trump Is Terrified Of Debating Biden

With the first 2024 presidential debate how just a little more than 48 hours away, you may be wondering what’s going through the mind of convicted felon Donald Trump as he prepares to face President Joe Biden in what could wind up being a major turning point in the race for the White House.

Former Republican National Committee spokesperson Tim Miller believes Trump is terrified of what will happen when he faces Biden, and he says there are two “signs” of what Trump is feeling as the debate approaches.

“I do think that what we can see publicly is that Donald Trump is concerned about how this debate is being framed up as you lead into the debate,” Miller remarked during an appearance on MSNBC Monday.

“That is why he’s doing all the weird stuff about Joe Biden being on drugs,” he added.

Miller also noted that Trump’s continued insistence over the weekend that he had never called American service members who gave their lives for the nation “suckers” and “losers.”

“To me, that also shows he’s worried about the debate,” Miller explained. “He’s thinking about what Joe Biden’s attacks might be on him, and he’s trying to take the air out of the balloon ahead of time.”

Miller added, “I think there’s a lot of evidence that Trump is concerned about the debate,” said Miller. “How that manifests in his weird mind and whether he’s prepping or not, I’m not sure, but I think we can see plainly that he’s concerned.”
