Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman's wife, Gisele Fetterman, would 'love' there to be an apology from NBC News to the disabled community for the treatment of her husband's health surrounding a recent interview with the Democratic Senate candidate.
Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman's wife, Gisele Fetterman, would"love" there to be an apology from NBC News to the disabled community for the treatment of her husband's health surrounding a recent interview with the Democratic Senate candidate.
Reports that John Fetterman needed closed captioning assistance to understand Burns's questions fueled criticism and concerns about his health. He suffered a stroke in May shortly before clinching the Democratic nod for the Senate, and though his doctor said in early June the candidate is fit to serve in the Senate, John Fetterman has since had lingering speech auditory and comprehension impediments, and the election is just weeks away.
Facing accusations of ableism, she defended her reporting, insisting she pushed for transparency and was not commenting on the candidate's fitness for office. During the interview, John Fetterman explained that he had trouble processing auditory remarks but was able to comprehend conversations through transcriptions.
“We have received so many messages from folks who said, ‘This is exactly why I'm afraid to seek accommodations. This is exactly why I'm afraid to pursue a different position because of exactly what your husband has gone through,’” she added to the Independent. “So I think he's shown what he's experienced, but a lot of people saw themselves in him.”
