| John Fetterman struggles with speech, comprehension ahead of Dr. Oz debate |
| 2022-10-12 |
| [NYPOST] Democratic Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman struggled to speak clearly and needed a monitor with closed captioning to understand a news hound’s questions months after suffering a stroke — and two weeks before a scheduled debate with his GOP opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz. Fetterman granted Dasha Burns of NBC News his first sit-down interview since his May medical episode, which forced him into a months-long absence from the campaign trail. "We had a monitor set up so that he could read my questions," Burns told MSNBC host Katy Tur Tuesday afternoon, "because he still has lingering auditory processing issues as a result of the stroke, which means he has a hard time understanding what he’s hearing. "Now, once he reads the question, he’s able to understand," Burns went on. "You’ll hear he also has some problems, some challenges with speech. And I’ll say, Katy, that just in some of the small talk prior to the interview, before the closed captioning was up and running, it did seem that he had a hard time understanding our conversation."
