American politician John Fetterman was trolled online after he dressed casually and stuttered at an event with President Joe Biden and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro in attendance. On June 17, 2023, the 53-year-old senator was seen wearing a hoodie, shorts, and sneakers at an official event, where the authorities discussed Interstate-95 and the undergoing efforts for its reconstruction.
While speaking at the event dressed casually alongside authorities in their formal suits, Fetterman hailed President Biden's accomplishments. He discussed a collapsed bridge in West Pennsylvania that he drove by with his son, a night before its downfall, and how Biden arrived just hours after the tragic incident happened.
"And he promised to make sure that any resources that they needed and any help and support and guess what? That bridge was built less than a year well, well in front of time."
Stuttering and stumbling his words, he further continued:
"And now I'm standing next to the president again next to a collapsed bridge here. He is here to commit to work with the governor and the [delegation] to make sure that we get this fixed quick, fast, as well, too. This is a president that is committed to infructure [sic], yeah, and then on top of that the jewel kind of a law of the infraction [sic]."
He also called Rep. Brendan Boyle "Congressman Boyle Bile" while introducing him on the podium.
However, the casual attire and jumbled-up words by Fetterman at the official event did not sit right with several internet users, as one of them felt that the event felt like watching SNL.
