Donald Trump Jr. lambasted John Fetterman as a 'vegetable' who would be better employed as a grocery bagger than a U.S. senator.
The former president's son said the Pennsylvania Democrat lacks 'basic cognitive function' in a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Friday while Fetterman recovers from depression in the hospital.
'I'm the one that's willing to say this stuff because someone has to because it's insane. What's actually going on, right?' Trump goaded the crowd. 'When I said, like, I don't know, it's sort of weird that Pennsylvania managed to elect a vegetable.'
'They criticize me as being ableist,' Trump went on. 'I didn't know what that was.'
Fetterman checked himself into the hospital on February 16 after an on-and-off battle with depression. The former lieutenant governor suffered a stroke while on the campaign trail on May 13.
'I'd love for John Fetterman to have like, good gainful employment,' Trump said. 'Maybe he could be like a bag guy at a like a grocery store or, but like, is it reasonable for me to expect you as a citizen of the United States of America to have basic cognitive function?'
