The media joins Dem pile-on against Feinstein after 'concealing' Fetterman's health condition in 2022

Before members of the media called on Sen. Dianne Feinsten, D-Calif., to step down, they rallied behind then-candidate John Fetterman during his highly-contested Senate race.

The first is California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who returned to Capitol Hill in early May following a roughly three-month absence due to shingles, which was later revealed to have led to neurological complications from Ramsay Hunt syndrome that affected her brain and face. This came following months of reports alleging Feinstein's mental decline.  Joseph A. Wulfsohn is a media reporter for Fox News Digital.

The second is Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, who similarly had a lengthy absence after he was hospitalized in February for depression believed to have been stemmed from a stroke he suffered a year ago (he returned to work in April). Like Feinstein, concerns about Fetterman's fitness to serve clouded his low-profile Senate campaign though he ultimately won his race despite them.
