Democratic Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman joined NBC News’ Dasha Burns this week for his first in-person sit-down interview since suffering a stroke in May.
Despite sitting directly opposite Fetterman, Burns was asked by his campaign to deliver questions via closed captioning as well, revealing that he continues to struggle with auditory processing following his stroke.
“Dasha, this was not a typical candidate interview,” Lester Holt asked Burns prior to airing the exchange.
“No,” she replied. “Because of his stroke, Fetterman’s campaign required closed captioning technology for this interview to essentially read our questions as we asked them.”
