Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has expressed his disapproval of Graham Platner, the Maine Democrat who is challenging incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. Platner has garnered negative attention due to his Nazi tattoos, controversial Reddit posts, a sexting scandal, and recent allegations of emotional abuse from multiple women.
On Friday, Fetterman addressed these issues during an interview with CNN’s Kasie Hunt, who appeared visibly uncomfortable. The conversation went right off the rails when Fetterman mentioned that Platner potentially posted pictures of his genitals.
Just an unbelievable 2 minutes of television here:
CNN’s Kasie Hunt looked visibly uncomfortable as Senator Fetterman blew the whistle on Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner’s past behavior.
It was when Fetterman dropped the term “dick pics” that Hunt began to unravel.
HUNT: “Let me follow up on something you said there, because I don’t think that we have this reporting.”
“Did you say or…did Senate Democrats discuss Graham Platner posting pictures of his…uh…you called it his dick…at…did you discuss this in a lunch?”
FETTERMAN: “No. What I’m saying is, is that he has been sending sexually explicit kinds of messaging with women, and I assume over the ten years that he was a membership in that….”
HUNT: “Okay, so you’re assuming that that’s what he was doing. I just…that’s what I just wanted to follow up on, because if that’s something that is in active conversation among Senate Democrats…that I think would be of interest to our audience.”
FETTERMAN: “A guy, a guy that he talked about and described, uh, dicks, you know, he, he’s already done that in his, his writings.”
“And when he would used to sit in the porta potties, you know, he would say that he would want to masturbate in them and describe those things.”
“So, uh, I mean, he has very interesting kinds of uhh…”
[Fetterman cracks up]
HUNT: “I’m glad my children aren’t old enough to watch this show, I gotta be honest.”
Then there is this hilarious new nickname Fetterman has given Platner:
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) is eviscerating his fellow Democrats for defending the “mess” of Graham Platner’s candidacy in Maine following mounting allegations of sexual misconduct.
“Every Democrat knows P-Hustle has Nazi ink, was Captain D–k-Pic on Kik, abusive towards women and slandered American soldiers online,” Fetterman told The Post Friday.
Members of his party are choosing instead “to suppress their gag reflex for the ‘greater good,’” he added, noting Platner’s upcoming Senate primary election on Tuesday, where the Maine candidate is expected to come out on top.
“P-Hustle?” Fetterman had responded when asked by reporters on Capitol Hill Thursday about the embattled Democratic candidate, who was recently revealed to have maintained an account by that name on the private messaging app Kik, which has been accused of enabling sexual predators and groomers.
Someone’s going to put that on a t-shirt, I’m sure of it.
