<p>Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D), a U.S. Senate candidate, claimed Saturday that a sign promoting his campaign was set on fire in a Republican part of the state.</p>
<p>The tweet from Fetterman, which included a photograph of the alleged incident, came after he struggled in the first and only debate he participated in against Republican challenger Dr. Mehmet Oz before next month&#8217;s midterm elections.</p>
<p>&#8220;This happened last night on a farm in deep red Lawrence County,&#8221; Fetterman claimed on Twitter. &#8220;There is no place for violence and intimidation in politics. Our campaign is about bringing people together and rejecting hate + extremism. All Pennsylvanians should feel safe to show their political support.&#8221;</p>

<p>No immediate reports confirmed the claim from the Fetterman campaign, and local media ignored the story altogether.</p>
<p>Fetterman even <a href="https://twitter.com/JohnFetterman/status/1586377033449340933">fundraised</a> off the alleged incident.</p>
<p>Critics online questioned the veracity of the claims, suggesting that the entire incident might not be real.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Kurt Schlichter</strong>, attorney and columnist: &#8220;Lucky they were there with a camera right?&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Stephen L. Miller</strong>, podcast host: &#8220;They are losing and everyone sees what they are doing.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Sean Davis</strong>, CEO and co-founder of The Federalist: &#8220;Congrats on setting your own sign on fire. Reminds me of your debate.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Joe Concha</strong>, media analyst: &#8220;This is beyond staged. The desperation is real.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Matt Wolking</strong>, political strategist: &#8220;This is a fiery but mostly peaceful protest (that you staged).&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Chris Barron</strong>, political strategist: &#8220;There are Oz signs ripped up and torn down EVERY single day. Your campaign should be talking to your own supporters rather than pushing this obvious hoax.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Jim Treacher</strong>, blogger: &#8220;Who took this photo? Have you alerted the appropriate authorities about this crime? If not, why not?&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Jazz Shaw</strong>, Hot Air: &#8220;Incredible how you (or someone) managed to perfectly catch the sign in mid-burn with a camera at close range but nobody got a look at the perpetrator? What are the odds? Just amazing luck on your part, I guess.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Wilfred Reilly</strong>, professor: &#8220;It&#8217;s legit crazy how a professional photographer showed up just in time to get this perfect picture of the burning sign.&#8221;</li>
