A video clip of Democratic Senator John Fetterman having a dispute with an airplane pilot from earlier this year has resurfaced amid new reporting by New York Magazine detailing Fetterman’s deteriorating health following a 2022 stroke and clinical depression diagnosis.

It can be recalled that the brain-damaged Senator from Pennsylvania suffered a stroke on the campaign trail against Dr. Mehmet Oz back in 2022. After this happened, he was barely able to speak coherently. He later checked himself into a hospital for depression in February 2023.

After he was hospitalized, The Gateway Pundit reported on rumors that he was seriously impaired.

Now, about one year later, New York Magazine reports that former staffers for Fetterman are sounding the alarm on his “bad trajectory.”

The clip from a flight to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, referenced in New York Magazine’s report, is going viral on social media.

In the clip, the pilot can be heard asking Fetterman if his seatbelt is on, to which he replies, “Yes, it is.” When the pilot begins explaining that federal regulations require the fastened seatbelt to be visible at all times, Fetterman begins to argue with him and turns down a seatbelt extender so that they can see the seatbelt over his hoodie. “If you want to go to Pittsburgh, it’s simple,” the pilot can be heard saying. “You’re going to have to follow our instructions or be asked to get off the airplane.”

WATCH:

“Moments like these were becoming increasingly difficult for staff to explain. And behind the scenes, things were worse,” New York Magazine reports.

Former Chief of Staff Adam Jentleson wrote in a 1600-word email to Fetterman’s doctor at Walter Reed Hospital, “We do not know if he is taking his meds and his behavior frequently suggests he is not.” The email also referenced, “Conspiratorial thinking; megalomania (for example, he claims to be the most knowledgeable source on Israel and Gaza around but his sources are just what he reads in the news — he declines most briefings and never reads memos); high highs and low lows; long, rambling, repetitive and self centered monologues; lying in ways that are painfully, awkwardly obvious to everyone in the room.”

More from New York Magazine:

some of Fetterman’s behavior was leaking out into public. Last year, the Sunrise Movement posted a video of Fetterman mocking and filming one of his constituents, a climate activist who was calmly trying to ask him about his stance on pipelines. Earlier this year, a passenger on a flight to Pittsburgh filmed a video of Fetterman getting into an argument with the pilot about wearing his seat belt in a way that was visible to the crew. “If you want to go to Pittsburgh, it’s simple,” the pilot explains. “You’re going to have to follow our instructions or be asked to get off the airplane.”
Moments like these were becoming increasingly difficult for staff to explain. And behind the scenes, things were worse. In March, Fetterman suddenly took an early-morning trip to Hartford, Connecticut, without telling his team why — leaving them at a loss for what to tell Gisele when she demanded to know why he was missing one of their kids’ birthdays. Fetterman objected to this characterization, saying to me, “I took a weekend trip in March to visit the grave site of my friend from grad school who died in 1993 — a trip my staff and family knew about.”
When he was in Washington, there were entire days in which his schedule was cleared because he seemed like he was in no mood to be around others. And when he did have meetings, they sometimes went south. In early February, Fetterman met with Jeremy Ben-Ami, the leader of the progressive Jewish organization J Street. Over the course of Israel’s campaign against Gaza, J Street has walked a difficult line, calling itself “pro-peace” and “pro-Israel,” a Zionist institution that isn’t afraid to take shots at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The organization lives in a gray area, but during the meeting, it became clear that Fetterman saw things in black and white.
“You can’t reform a carton of sour milk,” Fetterman told Ben-Ami, according to notes from the meeting, referring to the Palestinians. Fetterman said he did not believe in a two-state solution and claimed he had never met an Arab person who would condemn Hamas. “Correction,” the notes from the meeting stated. “Only a single Arab he has met with that staff was present for wouldn’t outright condemn Hamas.”
