Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) said in an interview that aired Sunday that he believed opening up to the public about his mental health struggles earlier this year would negatively impact his career.

In an interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker on “Meet the Press,” Fetterman opened up about his battle with clinical depression earlier this year and urged those facing mental health issues to seek help. He said that for the first couple of weeks while being treated for depression at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, he felt scared about sharing his experiences publicly.

    If we’re talking about funding genocide, I’m against it. I’m comfortable with the assertion that those who disagree with me on the subject have no conscience. If you want to dispute that, do so directly, and I’ll gladly have that conversation.

      I also believe my viewpoint is objectively right, and anyone who disagrees with me must support genocide. I’m also very comfy thinking people who disagree with me must be by definition incapable of empathy. If you disagree with this assessment, please list your points directly and I’ll explain how I am righteous and you are a very bad no good sinner ;)

        Genocide is wrong. You’re mocking me for saying so. Ok. Says more about you than it does me.

          Lemmy’s favourite source seems to be Qatar state media, so what do you expect?

        This isnt a “hypothetical genocide,” this guy literally is supporting israeli slaughter of palestinians.

        As in, openly states his political stance of being pro israel. Not a hypothetical.
