Interesting thought on John Fetterman and his wife

[LymphocyteLover]

Gisele Fetterman has been an advocate for immigrants. She is now a citizen but was an undocumented immigrant. Was Fetterman extorted to support Trump with threats to have her deported?

1. No. Fetterman had a stroke.

Now his brain doesn't work.

If you don't believe me, watch him talk.

Watch him stare vacantly.

18. He was also very heavily brainwshed by Murdoch propaganda.

One should not watch cable news while recovering from a stroke. That shit is poison for your mind.

[Blues Heron]

2. undoubtedly. If there is leverage of any kind, they will take advantage of it.

3. No extortion. Not the stroke. Just the FRAUD.

The PA senator is and always has been a total fraud. He cosplayed as a blue-collar dude and fooled a lot of people, particularly in western PA, en route to his primary win over real Democrat Conor Lamb, who will kick his underdressed ass in the next primary.
The senator's roots in a central PA family fortune were well hidden behind his Home Depot couture and mayorship in dead steel town Braddock. Now, he couldn't get elected dog catcher in the commonwealth. Nor will you see him publicly set foot in the state he claims to represent.

14. He sure fooled a LOT of people

[Ritabert]

4. That's what I suspect. They could claim she lied on her application.

5. nah he's just an asshole

[Jersey Devil]

6. Nah, people just didn't know him well enough before electing him and he had top notch PR

He was mayor of some hole in the wall town in PA and had no real record other than how fast he filled potholes. He fooled us.

13. Maybe... he sure seems to have changed his political tune though

[S/V Loner]

7. I think the only reason she...

Hasn’t divorced him is because of her immigration status. Their marriage is not very good right now.

[Celerity]

16. She has been a US citizen since 2009. She is not dependent on staying married to him for that.

[no_hypocrisy]

9. Yes to extortion.

The excuse of stroke is a diversion.

10. "The View" discussed Trump superfan Nicki Minaj -- her citizenship was fast-tracked

and finalized and she might be trying to get a pardon for her husband and/or brother. I'm sure she's nutty in general and a conservative, but that's a pretty good reason.

[Irish_Dem]

11. Yes but there is more to it than that.

[LymphocyteLover]

12. you mean the stroke?

[Irish_Dem]

15. No. I don't think the stroke had anything to do with it.

[LymphocyteLover]

19. what then? AIPAC?

[Irish_Dem]

21. Who benefits and how from what he is doing?

[Celerity]

17. It's the stroke. His wife is a US citizen since 2009. She didn't commit fraud on her application. She can't be deported.

[canetoad]

20. I know very little

About his wife or circumstance but wondered recently if trump has something to hold over him to force compliance. It's the way trump works.
