Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania was meeting last week with representatives from a teachers union in his home state when things quickly devolved.

Before long, Fetterman began repeating himself, shouting and questioning why “everybody is mad at me,” “why does everyone hate me, what did I ever do” and slamming his hands on a desk, according to one person who was briefed on what occurred.

As the meeting deteriorated, a staff member moved to end it and ushered the visitors into the hallway, where she broke down crying. The staffer was comforted by the teachers who were themselves rattled by Fetterman’s behavior, according to a second person who was briefed separately on the meeting.

    Do you realize that your anecdote is literally meaningless in the context of statistical analysis?

      Do you realize…

      Dude started out by mentioning a couple of concussions and ended by stating he might not understand the research because of the concussions, so perhaps the answer is…maybe not.

      It was more of a question, but you kind of inserted yourself into my statement, so I’m not going to engage with you anymore. You can get your feelings hurt elsewhere
