Sen. John Fetterman’s (D-PA) wife was slammed on social media Friday after she revealed that the first thing she did after her husband was hospitalized with severe depression was flee the country to go on a vacation.

Fetterman checked himself into a hospital last week for a multi-week inpatient treatment regimen after the attending physician of the United States Congress recommended that he do so.

Gisele Fetterman, who lived illegally in the U.S. for more than a decade, said that she took the family to Canada for a vacation after leaving her husband in the hospital.

“I am not really sure how to navigate this journey but am figuring it out slowly,” she said. “1 week ago today when the news dropped, the kids were off from school and media trucks circled our home. I did the first thing I could think of … pack them in the car and drive.”

Gisele Fetterman faced intense criticism online over the move, which many said was indicative of narcissistic behavior.

Defense of Freedom Institute spokeswoman Angela Morabito tweeted, “She abandoned her husband in the hospital, took her kids to another country, and wants you to believe she’s inspirational.”

Michael Duncan of the Cavalry public affairs firm tweeted, “In any good prenup this behavior would immediately annul the marriage,” adding, “I still can’t believe [the tweet is] real, this is textbook malignant narcissist behavior.”

Seattle-based conservative radio host Jason Rantz tweeted: “Sen. John Fetterman’s (D-PA) wife brags about abandoning her husband in the hospital and fleeing the country on vacation while he battles severe depression.”

NBC News reporter Dasha Burns said last week that senior aides to Fetterman have indicated that “it’s been difficult to distinguish the stroke from the depression – saying it’s hard to tell at times if Fetterman is ‘not hearing you, or is he sort of crippled by his depression and social anxiety.’”

“A senior aide tells me both the staff and Fetterman himself were taken by surprise by the severe onset of depression,” she added. “The aide also says this hasn’t compromised his ability to do the job going forward, and he will be back to work once he has taken care of his mental health.”

The New York Times reported earlier this month that Fetterman was struggling with “serious mental health” issues and often cannot understand the words that others are saying to him following the stroke that nearly killed him last year.

Book publisher Puffin has announced a walkback of its woke rewrites of Roald Dahl’s classic children’s books after backlash.

Earlier this week, the Roald Dahl Story Company, which manages the works of the British author, announced changes to his classic children’s stories, including “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” “Matilda,” “James and the Giant Peach,” and “The BFG,” among others. But after a massive backlash from readers and commentators who enjoyed Dahl’s stories, Puffin announced it would release the original texts in addition to the woke updates.

“At Puffin we have proudly published Roald Dahl’s stories for more than forty years in partnership with the Roald Dahl Story Company,” said Francesca Dow, managing director of Puffin’s parent company Penguin Random House. “Their mischievous spirit and his unique storytelling genius have delighted the imaginations of readers across many generations. We’ve listened to the debate over the past week which has reaffirmed the extraordinary power of Roald Dahl’s books and the very real questions around how stories from another era can be kept relevant for each new generation.”

“As a children’s publisher, our role is to share the magic of stories with children with the greatest thought and care. Roald Dahl’s fantastic books are often the first stories young children will read independently, and taking care for the imaginations and fast-developing minds of young readers is both a privilege and a responsibility. We also recognise the importance of keeping Dahl’s classic texts in print. By making both Puffin and Penguin versions available, we are offering readers the choice to decide how they experience Roald Dahl’s magical, marvellous stories.”

A total of seventeen titles will be published, including: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The BFG, Fantastic Mr Fox, James and the Giant Peach, The Witches, and others. The books will also include “archive material relevant to each of the stories,” the press release stated. They will be available later this year.

Earlier this week, Puffin announced that it had collaborated with the Roald Dahl Story Co., which manages the copyright and trademarks, to make hundreds of alterations in order not to offend anyone with Dahl’s original works. The Roald Dahl Story Co. admitted they had worked with Inclusive Minds, which monitors children’s literature for inclusion, diversity, and accessibility, The Washington Post reported. The UK Telegraph published a list of some of the hundreds of changes made by editors over the years. Lines have been altered, words and phrases have been removed altogether, and even added in some cases, in order to “ensure that it can continue to be enjoyed by all today.”

The backlash to the woke rewrites was swift and fierce, and included none other than Queen Consort Camilla. Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro summed up much of the reaction to the move on Tuesday. “Rewriting Roald Dahl to remove the nastiness and meanness removes half the charm of the books,” Shapiro tweeted. “The whole point of the books is that the world is filled with nastiness and meanness, and children have to learn to navigate it in adventurous ways.”

Shapiro and fellow Daily Wire hosts Matt Walsh and Brett Cooper also commented on the news on their podcasts.
