A video from earlier this year showing Senator John Fetterman in a heated exchange with a flight crew member over a seatbelt has gone viral. The incident took place on a flight to Pittsburgh and is now drawing renewed scrutiny following a New York Magazine report that questioned the Pennsylvania Democrat’s health.
The clip began circulating widely online just hours after the report was published by Intelligencer. The timing has fueled speculation and debate over Fetterman’s fitness for office.
The confrontation, reportedly brief but tense, involved Fetterman refusing initial instructions regarding his seatbelt. The crew eventually resolved the situation without further escalation.
The senator’s office has not yet responded to requests for comment on the video. Meanwhile, critics and supporters alike are weighing in, with some defending Fetterman’s conduct and others pointing to it as cause for concern.
