Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) said in an interview that aired Sunday that he believed opening up to the public about his mental health struggles earlier this year would negatively impact his career.

In an interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker on “Meet the Press,” Fetterman opened up about his battle with clinical depression earlier this year and urged those facing mental health issues to seek help. He said that for the first couple of weeks while being treated for depression at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, he felt scared about sharing his experiences publicly.

    When you’re citing the nypost about dems, you’re really really reaching to stir shit up. The post is an even more out there Murdoch rag.

    Liberal infighting only benefits the rich and republicans and they love to incite it.

      I could have cited another source but this one had many more examples than others I glanced at. I’d rather avoid the post but Fetterman is kinda shitty for a lot more reasons than Israel. I’m annoyed that everyone is acting like it’s the one reason people are upset with him.

      Dude either faked being progressive for the votes or he bailed on his ideals for one reason or another. Either way, he’s a dick. I’d still prefer him over Oz or virtually any Republican willing to tow the party line though.
