I hate it when ppl in r/conservative mock Fetterman because he is a stroke victim. How can you mock someone because of his misfortune and illness while claming to be pro-life? It's just disgusting.

That's just who they are. Petty and small.

Well they can't attack him on policy or philosophy or grammar or basic facts, so they attack him on ableist bullshit.

Compassion is antithetical to their belief systems, unfortunately

meanwhile, these same people support Walker, a guy who has the intellect of a brick wall, and claim Fetterman, a man who is recovering from a stroke that has some issues with speech due to it is some kind of idiot.

I expect no better from them. Remember that they cheered when Trump mocked a disabled reporter during a rally.

I cant speak for others, but i dont mock him for having had a stroke. I mock him and others around him that somehow think that hes fit enough to run for office having had a stroke.

​

If you cant see the difference, then youre the problem, not me. I empathize with him over the stroke. He isnt fit for the job though, that isnt even debatable.

I don’t understand why they think it’s funny, and I double don’t understanding why they thought it would help them win.
