Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) and Maine Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner may belong to the same political party, but that does not mean there is mutual admiration.
The Pennsylvania senator told CNN Tuesday that Platner was a a “creeper” and a “Nazi sympathizer.”
Fetterman’s words were in light of Platners latest scandal.
Fetterman said he was frustrated after it was reported Platner had sent explicit messages to at least six women and maintained an active profile on Kik, an anonymous chatting platform for lax identification methods that have enabled the proliferation of child sexual abuse material.
“What kind of a creeper has spent a decade on a platform like Kik, and send a dozen explicit kinds of messages and who knows what else?” Fetterman said of Platner, who is married.
Fetterman also referred to Platner as “P-Hustle” in reference to Platner’s username from his old Reddit account. On this account, Platner made several controversial comments about minimizing sexual assault, masturbating in public facilities and claiming a wounded soldier “didn’t deserve to live.”
