John Fetterman was hospitalized today after collapsing during a morning walk. His team has since released the following statement:
Statement from Sen. Fetterman’s Spokesperson: “During an early morning walk, Senator Fetterman sustained a fall near his home in Braddock. Out of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh. Upon evaluation, it was established he had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that led to Senator Fetterman feeling light-headed, falling to the ground and hitting his face with minor injuries. Senator Fetterman had this to say: ‘If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!’ He is doing well and receiving routine observation at the hospital. He has opted to stay so doctors can fine-tune his medication regimen. Senator Fetterman is grateful for the EMTs, doctors, and nurses who are providing his care.”
The incident occurred as Fetterman was seen in a video wearing a hoodie and athletic shorts, joking about having a body double. The video then cuts to Fetterman, wearing a different colored hoodie and athletic shorts, walking in the door and pretending to be the senator’s body double. “Yo, dude, John, what event am I supposed to be doing this afternoon?” the fake body double Fetterman asked. Both versions of Fetterman then look at the camera and shrug. Fetterman acknowledging and poking fun at the conspiracy theory that he had a body double comes as the lawmaker returned to the Senate this week following a six week stay in the hospital, during which he received treatment for clinical depression.
A recent post on X featuring side-by-side images of the “new” John Fetterman and the “old” John Fetterman has sparked curiosity among many people. They’re asking, “Who’s the new guy?” because to them, it doesn’t look like John Fetterman. The post, created by podcaster Stew Peters, has already garnered over 1 million views and highlights a distinct difference between the new Fetterman and the old one – their ears. In the older photo on the right, John’s ears are clearly sticking out. However, in the newer “makeover” photo on the left, John’s ears seem to sit very close to his head. This has led to speculation: Did he undergo ear surgery? What’s going on? The guy pretending to be John Fetterman looks nothing like the real John Fetterman. Ears clearly don’t match. pic.twitter.com/TyxTvkro9y
