Dem. Penn. senator bursts out laughing following Biden-level blunder.
Democrat US Senator John Fetterman (Pa.) pulled a Biden-level blunder Thursday when he read aloud stage directions from a congressional script.
The slovenly senator, who’s admitted he struggles mentally and could have permanent brain damage following a stroke he suffered in May 2022, burst out laughing following the embarrassing incident, which unfolded as he adjourned a Senate session Thursday.
“Under the previous order, the Senate stands adjourned until 3pm on Monday. Bang gavel.”
Sen. Fetterman then bangs gavel. Then laughs.

The verbal slip-up came as Fetterman was deemed “at fault” for causing a rear-end collision with another driver in Maryland over the weekend, which resulted in injuries to himself and his wife.
Fetterman’s boneheaded gaffe is reminiscent of similar botched teleprompter moments by Democrat leader Joe Biden, whose senility has led him to suffer the same blunder repeatedly in the past.
“Four more years, PAUSE.”
Biden reads the instructions on the Teleprompter, which are always clearly marked, usually with lots of parentheses, meaning ‘dummy don’t say this part, is a command!’
