From the article:

The liberal comedian then asked Fetterman whether his shift in various policies had anything to do with his recovery from his 2022 stroke, asking if his near-death experience had given him a “freedom.”

“Absolutely,” Fetterman responded. “There’s a line from the first ‘Batman,’ Joker’s like ‘I’ve been dead once already. It’s very liberating.'”

“It’s freeing in a way. And I just think after beating all of that, I just really [want to] be able to say the things that I have to really believe in and not be afraid of if there’s any kind of blowback.”

So basically yes, the stroke made him a Republican. Pathetic and disappointing, but all too predictable.

    It’s money. Yes to brain damage, but also… Yes to money. It corrupts people. It fucks them up. This guy didn’t have much money, go watch the housing show he was on. I bet not many know about that…

      I am unable to find even a hint of what you’re talking about about. It’s not mentioned on his wiki page, and Google is useless as per usual these days

        Google told me he was on a show called Where We Call Home. Specifically on the 8th episode of the 1st season.
