NBC's Dasha Burns admitted that the Senate candidate for Pennsylvania John Fetterman is still struggling to have conversations after his stoke in May.
"Now, Fetterman has always been an unconventional candidate, but this is a particularly unconventional interview. I sat down with him at his home in May before the stroke. This was very different, including literally what the set up looked like," she said.
Burns offered a preview of the interview with Fetterman who also remarking that he still suffers from"lingering" issues after his stroke. "Every now and then I’ll miss a word, every now and then, or sometimes I’ll maybe mush two words together. As long as I have captioning, I’m able to understand exactly what’s being asked, but even after the stroke, immediately after that, I was able to read everything and I haven’t lost any memories or anything like that. It’s just really the lingering issue that I have," Fetterman said.
NY MAG WRITER LASHES OUT AT MEDIA QUESTIONING FETTERMAN’S FITNESS, LIKE ‘RIGHT-WING CARNIVAL BARKERS’"What you saw and heard there, the auditory processing challenges, the speech challenges. I’ve spoken with stroke experts. They say folks can fully recover from that, but the caveat that every expert gives is that they can’t fully assess a patient without details on their health records, without that information that the campaign has yet to disclose.
