Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has checked himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to receive treatment for clinical depression, his chief of staff announced Thursday. A close senior aide said Fetterman would likely remain in inpatient care for clinical depression for “a few weeks,” adding that doctors are trying different medications and require time to identify the correct dosage. NBC’s Dasha Burns joins Morning Joe with the latest.

Has anyone taken his shotgun away? The one he chases black people with? This guy is a walking red flag.
Looks like a case of vax injury, starting with the stroke.
Dasha was a snarky beyotch to John after his stroke, so her pretending to care so much and be so close to and beloved by his family is a horrible take. She reported on how “unfit” a stroke survivor would be for Congress. She should be apologizing for her prior position before she even speaks his name.
Why on earth did the dems and his family and everyone close to him allow him to run ?
It’s not clinical depression, that’s running cover for him. STOP LYING! The man had another TIA more than likely and they know this and need to keep him in the hospital, you lefties are some scary pieces of … you can’t trick a male cat like me, we’ve been around the block one too many times. I know EXACTLY why they did this. You need to step down Johnny boy. This is not good for your health. Don’t listen to your foreign wife and the crazy left. Unlike these pieces of …. on the left, I am actually concerned about your health and wellbeing. I want you to live a more quiet and prosperous life. Step down asap!
Leave it to a democrat to milk the benefits but not do any of the actual work
So when a senator can't understand anything he's being told, he becomes depressed. Hmm, it's almost like we warned Democrats not to vote for him for this EXACT reason. He's incompetent to be a senator
Let's elect a severe stroke patient for senator. Ok. Wait what?
??? aren't nearly all homeless people clinically depressed ???

Get better, wishes & Prayers to
Mr Federman. Take care of you, as long as it takes.
Many times Medication can caz Depression.
Fetterman should resign, he's clearly not up for the job. Sad but true
Voter Fraud sure helped out Lurch
I’m praying for Fetterman for to make a full recovery.
The democrats used this guy, they will do anything to get and keep power.
My heart ❤ goes out to the people of Pennsylvania. They're stuck with this guy because of ballot harvesting.
BS, bet something else is up, everything about this puppet from his story to everything else about him, everything surrounding him, was all a lie, all beaides the health issue's, witch us sad right, but clearly it should have disqualified him from running, it just made pa seem like a complete joke of a state, mainly because of delusional women voter's,
and you see mostly the delusional women that fell for the lie's because of thier fe fee's, still finding ways to defend all of it because they realize how dumb all of it is, and they just can't admit how dumb it was, and how wrong they were,
how dumb picking a guy that can hardy speak, can't hardly register what is being said without a computer set up feeding all the info to him, probably wasn't the best idea for someone that will be in control or you think in control, of the direction of your state, he couldn't even do a good job with the Lil town he ran, he ran it into the ground and made it a ghost ghetto, because most people left,
so logically you would say, well you did a terrible job, on something much smaller, lets not give you the same job times 100,
but no the woke left always always fail miserably up, and not down, gotta love how that works,
No matter your political views, God bless him for coming forward about his condition, and that he is seeking treatment. If it makes one other person suffering from depression get treatment, also, it was worth it.
Yes, incompetent power hungry politicians are the cost of corrupt elections (:
Tell Fetterman, he's NOT his mouth noises. He's John 2.0 now
I hope all the haters in the comments end up getting depression and finding out what it is like. And I hope everyone around you laughs at you and trashes you and makes your life difficult because they have no idea what having depression is like – and how easily it is treated if the person is brave enough to get help when they realize they have a problem.
democrats are evil.
He's a lazy bum, stoner, and a coward.
He defrauded the voters by not being upfront about his medical issues.
He's using his medical conditions as an excuse for not showing up for work.
Grifter all of his life.
I’m so proud of him. If any other sickness was hurting any other part of your body, you’d seek help. He knew he couldn’t do it alone so he sought the help of a professional. I can only imagine what he’s going through following a stroke. Good for him. Hopefully he will be an inspiration to others who are suffering. You don’t have to suffer. This I know from experience. Reach out. Seek help.
👆⬆️🍄💊🍫🌿 dealers…
Why do Democrats keep voting for people with mental and health issues?
He should resign and let someone else take over.
He'll be fine. John Fetterman is made of iron.
Kudos. He has been through the wars in the past year, and his team is in place and capable – they will keep the shop shipshape
Well wishes to my senator from PA….we love you and want you to take as much time needed to getting better.
Why did the Washington Crime Syndicate put this man in congress?
People, wake up. This sounds like another stroke.
All best wishes for John Fetterman for a speedy recovery.
People voted….for him…because they felt sorry for him?????
Senator sling blade to get at doing the dem fried taters, biscuits and mustard urmmm.
Great Job Pennsylvania. Having Fetterman in the hospital is really the same as any other democrat in the Senate. Brain dead.
Just another useless Dems in office
Democrats and his wife should be ASHAMED of making this big oaf run for office. Clearly he needed time to recover💯🤮👎🏽
Fake news msnbc fire lovers not need job need peach him
Sen Frankenstein goes back into the lab.
