The story of Senator John Fetterman continues to get more bizarre by the day.
It was surprising that he was able to run for office, let alone win, but since his swearing in ceremony things have gotten really weird.
And now John Fetterman’s wife abruptly fled the United States after this one shocking development.
Americans are still surprised about the election of Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman.
As one political observer put it, “Fetterman makes Joe Biden seem normal.”
“I did the first thing I could think of”
But as strange as the Fetterman situation has been, it just got even more bizarre.
The Democrat Senator has been hospitalized twice since taking office.
The latest hospitalization occurred to treat him for “clinical depression.”
But it was what his wife Gisele Barreto Fetterman did next that was truly unreal.
The wife of Pennsylvania’s junior Senator simply left the country.
Gisele Barreto Fetterman left home with her children in the days following her husband checking into a Washington, D.C.-area hospital for clinical depression.
“One week ago today when the news dropped, the kids were off from school and media trucks circled our home. I did the first thing I could think of … pack them in the car and drive,” she said in a tweet.
“Pro Tip: always have passports ready just in case you have to run away”
Even more outrageous was what the Senator’s wife posted next.
When she mentioned she had actually left the United States and went to Canada, she followed that up with advice to anyone wanting to flee the country.
“Pro Tip: always have passports ready just in case you have to run away,” she said.
I am not really sure how to navigate this journey but am figuring it out slowly. 1 week ago today when the news dropped, the kids were off from school and media trucks circled our home. I did the first thing I could think of … pack them in the car and drive.

We drove straight into … Canada (and lovely Buffalo NY) (Pro Tip: always have passports ready just in case you have to run away 😅) We talked about lots of hard things and how we will all have to face hard things. About the need to be gentle … with all and with ourselves. pic.twitter.com/0PWQXHrbqT

John Fetterman’s staff disclosed that he checked into the hospital last week — just over a month after being sworn into the Senate.
Fetterman is expected to receive treatment at the hospital for a period of weeks.
This latest episode has once again opened up questions about Fetterman’s ability to serve.
How could anyone lose to John Fetterman?
It has also reopened questions about the GOP Senate campaign of Dr. Mehmet Oz.
Oz lost last year despite serious concerns about Fetterman’s mental and physical abilities.
As a top GOP consultant put it, “how bad of a candidate are you if you can’t beat him, especially when you have Donald Trump’s full backing.”
Most astute political observers believe it was Oz’s moderate views that cost him the election.
There wasn’t enough difference between the two on the issues to turn out voters for Oz.
But even that doesn’t explain fully just how poorly the Oz campaign was managed.
The only thing worse would have been to lose to a dead guy, which is something that almost never happens.
