Questions are beginning to mount about what is going on with Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) after he reportedly co-sponsored legislation this week despite being hospitalized in a mental health facility.
The news comes after Fetterman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senator-fetterman-to-be-hospitalized-for-weeks-after-checking-himself-into-hospital">checked</a> himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland in mid-February for a multi-week stay to deal with severe depression.
Fetterman joined Sens. Bob Casey (D-PA), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), and J.D. Vance (R-OH) on Wednesday in introducing the Railway Safety Act of 2023 following the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
This bill would:
✅Enhance train safety procedures. ✅Increase rail car inspections for those carrying hazardous materials. ✅Require two-person crews aboard every train. ✅Force rail carriers to face heightened fines for wrongdoing. ✅And invest in future safety improvements.
&mdash; Senator John Fetterman (@SenFettermanPA) <a href="https://twitter.com/SenFettermanPA/status/1631037613682376710?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 1, 2023</a></blockquote>
Fetterman also joined several other senators in introducing on Thursday new legislation designed to crack down on illegal child labor.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
This bill would:
✅Increase employer civil penalties
✅Establish criminal penalties for willful or repeated violation of child labor laws
✅Ensure all working minors are protected regardless of classification
&mdash; Senator John Fetterman (@SenFettermanPA) <a href="https://twitter.com/SenFettermanPA/status/1631406723704430594?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 2, 2023</a></blockquote>
New York University medical professor Dr. Marc Siegel <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/mystery-swirls-fetterman-co-sponsors-legislation-hospitalized-depression-unusual" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Fox News that it was &#8220;very unusual&#8221; that Fetterman would be working while hospitalized in an in-patient facility.
&#8220;If you broke your ankle, you know, nobody would think twice,&#8221; Siegel said. &#8220;Okay, he&#8217;s got surgery on his ankle and he&#8217;s recovering, but he&#8217;s performing from the bed. But mental illness, by definition, is an impairment of mood and judgment. So it would be highly, highly unlikely that somebody could do that unless they&#8217;re just keeping them there to kind of keep them out of the way of the stress of daily living, but they feel that he&#8217;s up to the job.&#8221;
&#8220;Again, highly unusual,&#8221; Siegel noted, adding that he &#8220;would be very disturbed and concerned about the idea of him performing the job of senator while receiving intensive treatment for severe depression.&#8221;
Fetterman also <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/john-fetterman-letter-hospital-bed-raises-questions-1785071" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sent</a> a letter to Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw urging the company to provide assistance to a town in Pennsylvania that was impacted by the train derailment.
Fetterman&#8217;s office did not respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire.

&#8220;Fetterman is isolated in a mental institution right now,&#8221; said Sean Davis, CEO and co-founder of The Federalist. &#8220;He didn’t join a bipartisan group of anything. So the question is which staffer has appointed himself senator in Fetterman’s office?&#8221;
&#8220;Is there a single journalist within the border of the continental United States going to ask the question of how John Fetterman co-authored a letter in the United States Senate while under direct medical observation at Walter Reed for self admitted fear of harm and depression?&#8221; said political commentator Stephen L. Miller. &#8220;So he just did this? He co-authored this letter. While under observation for suicide and depression at Walter Reed and 10 days after several days of hospitalization?&#8221;

&#8220;The public deserves to know how Senator @JohnFetterman has been able to sponsor legislation while hospitalized for what’s been called a major depressive episode, esp when we haven’t directly seen him speak,&#8221; said Houman David Hemmati, MD, Ph.D. &#8220;Is it him or are others &#8216;running&#8217; him?&#8221;
