Top Democrat Clears Up Health Rumors
Top Democrat staffers say Pennsylvania Senator is “on a dangerous path” as he cozies up to Trump and clashes with his own party
Senator John Fetterman (D-PA), already under scrutiny after past hospitalizations for clinical depression and a stroke, is now facing explosive claims from former aides warning that his mental health is deteriorating—and may put him at serious risk.
Fetterman, 55, who entered the U.S. Senate in 2023, is brushing off the concerns, calling them a “bizarre grudge” from disgruntled ex-staffers. But the evidence, laid out in a 1,600-word email by his former chief of staff Adam Jentleson, paints a troubling picture.
According to New York Magazine, Jentleson—an experienced Democrat insider who once worked for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid—sent a detailed warning to Fetterman’s doctors at Walter Reed in May 2024. His email cited erratic behavior, wild mood swings, “conspiratorial thinking,” and “megalomania.”
He also raised red flags about Fetterman’s obsession with the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), which he claimed had become an “accelerant” to the senator’s ongoing depression. In a disturbing revelation, staffers reportedly refused to ride in a car with Fetterman, citing dangerously reckless driving.
“I think John is on a bad trajectory,” Jentleson wrote. “I’m really worried about him.”
When confronted with the report, Fetterman waved it off during an interview, saying, “It was just a dumb hit piece,” and compared it to the movie Goodfellas: “Everyone takes a beating sometimes.”
But many Americans—especially older voters concerned with the direction of the country—aren’t laughing. Questions are growing louder: Is Fetterman mentally fit to serve? And why is the Democrat Party ignoring these warning signs?
Fetterman’s time in office has been turbulent. Staff turnover has been unusually high. He’s alienated progressives with strong support for Israel’s military operations in Gaza, and shocked party insiders by visiting President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago earlier this year.
Once hailed as a rising star in Democrat circles, Fetterman now finds himself increasingly isolated—embraced by conservatives for speaking truth on border security and Israel, while being quietly sidelined by the far-left.
With the 2024 election cycle heating up and mental fitness in the national spotlight, many voters are asking: Who’s really running the Democrat Party—and at what cost to the country?
