What’s this stuff about Fetterman talking money from his parents all about? Anyone know?

Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s blue-collar image is questioned by Republican opponent Dr. Mehmet Oz, who cites Fetterman’s comfortable upbringing and reports of being financially supported by his parents until his mid-40s.
Fetterman has confirmed the financial backing from his parents during his time as mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, and said that it allowed him to work full-time in the position for several years.
According to OpenSecrets, Fetterman’s father, Karl Fetterman, gave more than $100,000 to The 15104, the single-candidate super PAC that was backing his son’s campaign in 2016.
Fetterman was hailed by a voter as “our blue collar tough guy,” a phrase that Fetterman has used in ads and Oz claims is false advertising from the Democratic candidate.

Of course, living with parental assistance honestly is preferable to grifting from hawking useless supplements and incurring the largest fine in US history for employment of ineligible foreign workers.
