Conway mentioned, “He hasn’t labored a day as Lt. Governor. He put the marijuana flag up. He thought that was humorous. He’s trolling his opponent. He thinks that’s humorous. Right here’s what’s not humorous. That there’s been a doubling of overdose deaths in Pennsylvania since he’s been in workplace from 2015-2021.”
John Fetterman was sworn into workplace as Lt. Governor in 2015, so Conway was blaming Fetterman for overdose deaths within the state for 4 years earlier than he took workplace.
Fetterman has the flag up as a result of he helps hashish legalization in Pennsylvania. As Lt. Governor, Fetterman visited all 67 counties within the state and authored a report on potential legalization. The Pennsylvania lieutenant governor doesn’t have many official duties, however Fetterman has been touring the state for 4 years representing the Wolf administration. He performed a major function in pushing again towards Trump’s false claims of election fraud in Pennsylvania after the 2020 election.
Fox Information has been rising its assaults on Fetterman as a result of he has a strong lead over Republican Dr. Ounceswithin the polls. It’s odd that Fox would select Ouncesas their hill to die on in the course of the midterm as a result of the Republican’s prospects for victory don’t look good in Pennsylvania. JD Vance is floundering in Ohio. It’s extra logical for Fox Information to place their power into that race, which leans Republican as a substitute of Pennsylvania.
The fitting is throwing every little thing that they’ve at Fetterman. The onslaught of lies is coming, however it’s going to likely make no difference as voters have persistently most well-liked John Fetterman over Dr. Oz.
