Sky News host Rita Panahi says John Fetterman’s stroke has brought up an issue of whether he’s “cognitively sound” enough to run as a Democrat candidate for the US Senate seat in Pennsylvania.
“The Democrats are saying that’s ableism, you’re indulging in ableism by even trying to scrutinise his heath, which I think … is absurd,” Ms Panahi said.
“Obviously, someone who is running for office should be capable intellectually to do the job.”
