John Fetterman has his supporters, despite a difficult debate.

On Wednesday night’s broadcast the Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell lefty host O’Donnell attempted to make a comparison between John Fetterman, Democratic senatorial candidate, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, wartime president. O’Donnell specifically criticized Fetterman critics, saying that the debate was “painful” to watch.

Franklin Roosevelt fell asleep in the oval offices while he was winning World War II. He was in the middle signing a letter. It was not difficult to watch, because no one got the chance to see it,” O’Donnell continued. He noted that Roosevelt and Churchill had the “good fortune” to be leaders of their respective countries during a time in history when almost all of their daily activities were private. “Long before television could have covered their every move and Twitter could have people pumping out their instant reactions to public appearances.

O’Donnell was on to discuss the extent to which Roosevelt went in order to ensure that Americans would not be aware that their president couldn’t walk. He used a cane to get to the podium and relied on advisers. His wheelchair was made from a regular kitchen chair to look more at home.

“Franklin Delano Roosevelt thought it would be painful for him to be lifted into and out of a car by Secret Service Agents. He never allowed cameras to capture this. O’Donnell said that elaborate steps were taken to determine when his train arrived or left so that he could be transferred to the train without anyone being able to see and without anyone feeling that it was difficult to watch.”

O’Donnell said, “Painful To Watch quickly became an int-repeated phrase last night on Twitter during the Pennsylvania Senate Campaign Debate because Democratic candidate John Fetterman suffered from a stroke this spring. He has not fully recovered his verbal fluency.”
