Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) returned to work this week after his treatment for depression and quickly engaged in one of his favorite diversions: trolling his critics on the right.
Last month, some conservatives on social media claimed Fetterman had been replaced by a body double while undergoing inpatient treatment at Walter Reed hospital.
Fetterman, who was known for his sharp social media responses during last year’s Senate campaign, posted a video rebutting the “fringy fringies” who claim he has a body double… with himself playing the role of his own supposed double:
Fetterman suffered a stroke while campaigning for Senate last year, and earlier this month told CBS News that he began experiencing depression symptoms after the election but before he was sworn in.
Fetterman told CBS his depression is in remission and that he feels hopeful “for the first time.”
