Fetterman (D., Pa.) has received two speeding tickets in his home state — the more recent one of which was in March for exceeding the speed limit in Westmoreland County by 34 mph. Before this year, he was ticketed in April 2016 for going at least 24 mph above the speed limit in Warren County, according to state public records.

The senator’s aides have said Fetterman has texted and FaceTimed while driving, ”prompting concerns among his staff and fears about riding with him,” the Post reported, citing three people with knowledge of staff discussions who spoke about internal conversations on the condition of anonymity.

      How do you know he’s a bad driver? He might be a really good driver who just drives recklessly anyways because of a lack of concern about the wellbeing of others and chooses to ignore basic safety despite driving abilities.

      You need to make your sarcasm incredibly blatant on Lemmy. If you think it’s pretty obvious, you gotta make it twice as obvious.

          Not in my experience, I just got a deadass reply in my inbox before this one to an incredibly obvious joke. Good to hear this is seemingly the exception.

            No I’m pretty sure they did. Sarcastically dismissing this extremely fucked up behavior as politically motivated sniping is really fucking stupid.
