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.

    More (faux?) moral outrage… why should I be surprised. Though I do like how you just sidestepped addressing my first sentence’s point and just spew out more Bad Things one side is doing. Bad things happen in war - surprise. It’s the reason why war’s the last resort option for getting your way.

    Now try to think about why it got pushed to this point. Hint; it’s not because Israel is a mustache twirling villain. Another hint: it’s more complicated than the .ml articles paint a view of. I’ll trust the people whose job it is to understand these things rather than lemmings who get fed propaganda and pretend they have all the black/white answers.
