In what turned out to be a complete disaster for Democrats, Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman faced off in a debate against Republican Mehmet Oz on Tuesday night. There were significant concerns over the state of Fetterman’s cognitive abilities coming into the event due to a recent stroke he had suffered. The concern was strong enough for the democratic candidate to request a personal screen to provide subtitles of everything that was said during the debate.

Later on in the debate, Fetterman appeared to aim a jab at Oz but what came out was completely incoherent; “He got his Pennsylvania house from his own id-laze from a dollar.”
