John Fetterman’s wife claims she was enraged by comments made by Dasha Burns about her husband not really understanding their small talk before the interview.
And now she wants both consequences for Burns and an apology from her:
Gisele Fetterman with harsh words for NBC's Dasha Burns, saying her description of "small talk" with her husband left her feeling close to "rage."
"I don't know how there were not consequences."
Indicated that she wants an apology, but it hasn't come.

This is what happens when a garbage media journalist goes off the reservation and does real journalism, refusing to cover for Democrats like they want.
The newser reporting this is Will McDuffie from ABC News. And Molly Jong, the person who actually interviewed Fetterman’s wife, is one of the ones pushing back on Burns claiming Fetterman had no issues understanding their conversations.
As you can imagine, this demand for an apology and consequences didn’t go over well on Twitter:
Team Fetterman thinks an honest journalist should face consequences and convicted murderers shouldn’t. https://t.co/xvyzYoY5rK

The political press is throwing one of their own under the bus for exposing a Democrat candidate struggles to cognitively process spoken words. The political press really is operating as a wing of the Democratic Party. https://t.co/CaZC3M1H7S

No one owes the Fettermans any apology. How dare elected officials attack a reporter for doing actual journalism and not throwing the guy softballs. Shame on them. https://t.co/d0CsezwcOu

They thought they were going to be able to hide his condition and just skate through the election. That's all this is about. https://t.co/nfAS3XCu7B

Why is John Fetterman’s wife calling for “consequences” against a journalist? https://t.co/hst0cnJtfh

She’s mad that Dasha Burns did her job and didn’t act as a publicist for John Fetterman. They were expecting Burns to lie about his condition. She didn’t. https://t.co/OWqKvNTDmC

I’m sure mainstream journos will rally in defense of their peer against this unwarranted and dangerous attack https://t.co/OfjgyVMQI6

That last one by Chuck Ross is a good point. Because if they don’t rally behind her then we know they all agree with the criticism, and I expect that to be the case. If they do rally behind her I’ll be quite shocked.
