I felt like, like some people, some listeners were like, why didn't you go harder at him on that? And I was like, Felt like arguing with a second grader. You know, I didn't want to be too mean. And so I said that after the interview. And that got included in this big, the first Ben Terrace article about Fetterman. And there's been this like backlash now.

You know, the Republicans are, you know, on the right, there's been a lot of commentators. And on Fox, like coming to Fetterman's defense.

be like his mental acuity is fine and the left is just coming for him because he took a pro Israel position and I don't know how that squares with the bulwark coming for him but whatever because you guys hate Israel so much yeah so anyway I don't know what if you have any additional thoughts on the Fetterman saga

I mean, I wrote a piece about it. You can read it in The Atlantic. And I tried to just go through this argument step by step. So I'm not going to recapitulate the whole thing. But number one, the position the Republicans are taking on this makes absolutely no sense. The main person who's testified about Fetterman's mental state is his chief staff, right? It's Adam Jentleson, a friend of mine.

Adam Jentleson has complained about the woke staffers. When the woke staffers were attacking Fetterman's Israel position, he was slapping them down and saying he got elected, you didn't get elected.

And it's just remarkable that when they knew they were coming into this big public debate about Biden's fitness, they had a test case to show that actually we're better than you, Hacks. We're willing to admit it when a guy we like is sick. And they all flunked the test.
