Worse, Swisher stepped in to do damage control when other members of the media, like Dasha Burns, had the true courage\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/kara-swisher-shuts-down-nonsense-192619197.html\" rel=\"\">to point out<\/a>\u00a0what were likely very inconvenient facts for her employer\u2019s political affiliation:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dasha Burns of<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBCNightlyNews\/status\/1579972222147788800?s=20&amp;t=ynxeK-YKx8ZqstYm1fjpbQ\" rel=\"\">\u00a0NBC News spoke to Mr Fetterman<\/a>\u00a0and said that \u201cbecause of his stroke\u201d the Democrat\u2019s \u201ccampaign required closed captioning technology for this interview to essentially read our questions as we asked them. And &#8230; in small talk before the interview without captioning, it wasn\u2019t clear he was understanding our conversation\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Swisher responded to this truth by blaming\u00a0<em>the reporter.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSorry to say but I talked to [Fetterman] for over an hour without stop or any aides and this is just nonsense. Maybe this reporter is just bad at small talk,\u201d Swisher wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Everybody on both sides of the political aisle on Tuesday saw with their own eyes and ears who, between Burns and Swisher, was really delivering \u201cfake news\u201d.<\/p>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Democrats are now stuck in a mess of their own making and the senseless part of the entire episode is that it was completely avoidable.<\/p>\n<p>While praising Fetterman for his bravery to debate in the midst of his recovery, something I applaud him for, it\u2019s starkly clear that no one\u00a0<em>else\u00a0<\/em>in the party showed such heroism &#8211; because the truly fearless course of action would have been telling Fetterman months ago, as almost anybody here would with their own family members, that his focus should be on his recovery and he\u2019s likely not a great candidate to be running for United States Senate.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t agree with John Fetterman\u2019s policy stance on much, but I\u2019m sure he\u2019s a decent enough human being simply trying to do his best. I wish him well personally, and give him credit for his aggressive campaigning and traveling. To that degree, the fight in the candidate has surprised me. But the actions of his power-hungry party that allowed Tuesday night to happen, unfortunately, didn\u2019t surprise me at all.<\/p>\n<p>And so not only did the Democrats sully their own party\u2019s name, they likely brought down the future of one hard-working \u201ceveryman\u201d they claim to represent in the process.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/quoththeraven.substack.com\/p\/the-abelist-delusion-and-the-tragic\">https:\/\/quoththeraven.substack.com\/p\/the-abelist-delusion-and-the-tragic<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-141250","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141250","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=141250"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141250\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=141250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=141250"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=141250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
