Sen. John Fetterman lampooned the outlandish conspiracy theory that he uses a 'body double' in a hilarious video on Twitter that features two Fettermans.

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman has returned to the Senate after receiving treatment for clinical depression and has recently addressed conspiracy theorists who have been spreading the baseless rumor that he has been replaced by a body double.

In a video shared on Twitter, Fetterman poked fun at the fringe elements who have propagated the theory, calling it "crazy" and assuring his followers that it isn't true.


However, despite Fetterman's straightforward response, conspiracy theorists continue to peddle the falsehood. They have demanded that Fetterman provide more evidence, including holding a press conference and wearing a suit, to prove that he is who he says he is.

You can hear what Fetterman said in the video below.

Fetterman said:

“During my time during the hospital, the fringy fringies really came up with a conspiracy theory that I have a body double. And I just want you to know that’s just crazy. That’s not true.”

The next moment, a second "Fetterman" walked into the room and the body double shennanigans began.

"Fetterman" said:

“Yo, dude, John, what event am I supposed to be doing this afternoon?"

Fetterman's recent health issues have also led his opponents to question his fitness for public office. But Fetterman has been frank and open about his mental health struggles and has shared his experience to encourage others to seek help.

Fetterman's humorous response to the baseless conspiracy theory has been praised by his supporters as a way to combat fake news and misinformation.



By refusing to take the theory seriously, Fetterman has shown that he is not afraid to tackle fringe elements that seek to undermine public trust in politicians and institutions.

The Senator's return to the Senate after a six-week absence due to clinical depression has also raised awareness of mental health issues among public officials. Fetterman's frankness about his condition has been lauded as a positive step towards removing the stigma surrounding mental health and encouraging others to seek help when they need it.

As Fetterman continues to serve in public office, his experience serves as a reminder of the importance of mental health awareness and the need to combat misinformation and fake news.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

Bride's Friends Surprise Her With Montage Video Of All Her Exes At Bachelorette Party—And People Are Mortified

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.

It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.
