Fox’s Fetterman Obsession
In the run-up to the 2022 midterms and with control of the Senate hanging in the balance, Fox’s primetime lineup went all-in against the opponent of Sean Hannity’s hand-picked GOP candidate in Pennsylvania, portraying the Democratic challenger as a “giant walking vegetable” who “can barely utter a sentence.”
Besides peppering its airwaves with smears about John Fetterman’s then-recent stroke leaving him an “incompetent husk,” the network’s right-wing stars also fearmongered about the Senate hopeful’s policies, labeling him as “pro-murderer” and suggesting he wanted to “legalize all drugs.”
Flash forward to the present, and the same person who Hannity and the rest of the Fox crew obsessively warned its viewers about has now become one of the MAGA network’s favorite guests.
