The article criticizes the inconsistency between the right's defense of Senator John Fetterman in light of concerns over his mental fitness and the left's similar denial regarding President Biden's capabilities. It highlights a New York magazine profile revealing worries from Fetterman's staff and family regarding his mental health. The conservative response to the article has been to dismiss these concerns as a politically motivated attack after Fetterman's recent rightward shifts, echoing past behavior seen during Biden's controversial saga. The piece warns against ignoring evident issues for political convenience.
Dismissing evidence that a politician might be unfit for office is as much a mistake for the right as it was for the left.
But apparently it wasn't so embarrassing that everybody took away the correct lesson, because something similar is now happening between Senator John Fetterman and a coterie of admirers on the right.
Fetterman's staff and even his wife have repeatedly expressed concerns over his mental health, following a pattern of strange statements and actions from the senator.
Conservatives are now doing the exact same thing that the Biden defenders did: denying the obvious unfitness of a politician because he's politically useful.
