Sen. John Fetterman raises alarms with outburst at meeting with union officials, AP sources say
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania was meeting last week with representatives from a teachers union in his home state when things quickly devolved.
Before long, Fetterman began repeating himself, shouting and questioning why “everybody is mad at me,” “why does everyone hate me, what did I ever do” and slamming his hands on a desk, according to one person who was briefed on what occurred.
As the meeting deteriorated, a staff member moved to end it and ushered the visitors into the hallway, where she broke down crying. The staffer was comforted by the teachers who were themselves rattled by Fetterman’s behavior, according to a second person who was briefed separately on the meeting.
The interaction at Fetterman’s Washington office, described to The Associated Press by the two people who spoke about it on the condition of anonymity, came the day before New York Magazine published a story in which former staff and political advisers to Fetterman aired concerns about the senator’s mental health.

airplane while holding the entire flight up was jaw dropping. He’s lucky he got such a polite pilot. That episode was close to a 5150 hold episode because he could have been dragged off the plane.
I agree that those close to him need to step up more, for everyone’s sake.
I get the mood swings and behavior all caused by the stroke. I also feel for the people in that room, his yelling and slamming his hands on the desk must have been frightening. His size alone is intimidating and the anger, someone is going to get hurt.
And, he's questioning "why everyone is mad at him and what did I ever do?"
I was just saying upthread that the last article on his Staffers voicing their Concerns.. It had a quote from his wife that basically said that the Staffers were out to get him and trying to bring him down.
So unless she changes that attitude she won't be much help.
Aloha, Nixie! 💙
articles that she was getting frustrated with his actions — something about his reckless driving and other behaviors.
If I remember, she took over a lot of his responsibilities when he was in treatment for depression. It is a dicey situation for couples and everyone around them.
some of her More Realistic Reactions to what is going on with Sen Fetterman..
I hope she is able to get him the Help he needs. Because the Country Needs him to do that.
Aloha, Nixie 💙
happening.
However, the last article I read about his Staffers Voicing their Concerns it had a quote from his wife saying something like..
So if this keeps up I don't think his wife is going to be much help.
From what I've known from loved ones I've been around.
I didn't know about the car accident and just looked it up. Not Good!
He should not be driving at high speeds. They were all lucky.
When he was 58. Walked out of the hospital (miracle patient) six weeks later. Went back to work for a few months then retired.
His personality changed with very *dark spells*. He could see it. Not being in a high press mergers/acq roles helped his brain heal.completely.
Strokes are brain injuries. I don't believe he's fully healed.
A year after retiring my dad started a consultant business which allowed him to pick and choose which distressed companies he would like to help, and that he could a few months to then go fishing every day.
Fetterman needs to rest. He needs to heal so he can be there for his children. He can't think straight.
Not a psychologist or psychiatrist or doctor of any kind . .. . just saw it first hand.
I really FEEL for him. He's locked in a brain injury. 
to "media Both Sides" in that Case?
