Former President Donald Trump blasted Lt. Gov. John Fetterman during his rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
Trump said that the Democrat senate nominee dresses “like a teenager getting high in his parents basement.”
Pennsylvania is an important battleground state for the midterm elections.
“This guy’s a disaster,” Trump said. “He comes in with a sweatsuit on. I’ve never seen him wear a suit. A dirty, dirty, dirty sweatsuit, it’s really disgusting. You know, I’m a clean freak. I’m a clean freak, Oz — I don’t like those dirty sweatsuits, that disgusting.”

“Fetterman may dress like a teenager getting high in his parents basement, but he’s a raging lunatic hell-bent on springing hardened criminals out of jail in the middle of the worst crime wave in Pennsylvania history,” Trump continued. “He wants everybody out of jail. And by the way, he wants to get rid of your police.”
Trump went on to blast Fetterman’s position on drug legalization — accusing him of using hard drugs.
“Fetterman supports taxpayer funded drug dens and the complete decriminalization of illegal drugs including heroin, cocaine, crystal meth, and ultra lethal fentanyl — and, by the way, he takes them himself — which would mean death and despair for every community in Pennsylvania and every community in the United States of America,” Trump said.

Fetterman has been outspoken about his desire to legalize marijuana and decriminalize all drugs.
Trump had a different idea and once again called for drug dealers to face the death penalty.
“I’m calling for the death penalty for drug dealers,” Trump said, adding that it would “reduce drug distribution in our country on day one by 75%.”
“I’ve told this and it’s a hard thing to say because calling for the death penalty stuff, but think of it, they kill 500 people during a lifetime, and I think it’s much worse than that,” Trump said. “I think that’s only what we hear about. It would stop. If you didn’t get it down 90% from day one, I’d be surprised.”
Fetterman currently holds a lead over the Trump-endorsed Republican nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz.
