Former president Donald Trump on Saturday went on an extended rant about Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor and Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman that ended with him accusing Mr Fetterman of using multiple illegal drugs.

Mr Trump was speaking at a Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, political rally in support of GOP Senate candidate Mehmet Oz when he began speaking about Mr Fetterman, who is currently leading Mr Oz in most public polling.

He said the Pennsylvania lieutenant governor — who is known for his trademark campaign trail uniform of shorts and hooded sweatshirts — dresses “like a teenager getting high in his parents basement” and called him a “raging lunatic” who not only supports legalisation of illicit drugs but partakes of them personally.

“Fetterman supports taxpayer funded drug dens and the complete decriminalization of illegal drugs, including heroin, cocaine, crystal meth and ultra lethal fentanyl,” he said. “And by the way, he takes them himself”.

It's sort of like a political surrealist Equivalent (imVHo) of visiting the WTC site in early November 2001 when I had the courage to do so. It was the viewing platform first (further away) Then closer later on a whole bunch of times. Unbelievable!

I when I got closer (I can't remember if I snuck around [oh I wasn't close close (!)] I took some photos of a
fireman on a lifted ladder with a hose trying put out one of the underground fires in the massive wreckage!

A person can suffer personal injury after being accused of being a drug addict. False accusations can harm a person's character, their ability to earn a living, can cause others to attack the falsely accused.
