Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) pulled no punches this week as he slammed his party’s U.S. Senate candidate in Maine, Graham Platner, while on Fox News’s Hannity.
Fetterman joined host Sean Hannity on Wednesday night for a lengthy discussion about the state of the Democratic Party and rise of democratic socialists within his party.
The controversial Pennsylvania senator went off on Platner while discussing the slate of Democrats running for the Senate in key states. Maine is a must-win for the party to win the majority.
“And then, of course, you have the king of the dirtbags of P Diddy up in Maine, you know, roughing up ex-girlfriends and spent a decade on the social media platform called Kik, that’s been described as the predator’s paradise, for why people are on that kind of platform,” Fetterman said of Platner, listing off some of his more unsavory scandals.
“So, you know, as a Democrat, it’s entirely appropriate to just call that out,” Fetterman added, before pivoting to other candidates:
You know, I’m always happy to be on your show. You’re not going to see me criticize or go after, we have some great, great candidates like Ossoff, Brown, and you have Talarico. He’s a nice guy, no matter what anybody would say. And, of course, Roy Cooper in North Carolina. So these are normal Democrats. I don’t know why we have other Democrats, you know, even people that are calling for their jobs in leadership, saying, “You’re next, you’re next.” Why can’t you just push back and say, “These, these are abhorrent beliefs,” you know? Communism, socialism,
Fetterman has broken with many in his party over criticism of Israel and the far-left, which he views as increasingly anti-Semitic and anti-capitalist.
Fetterman told Hannity that there is “one thing” that would make him leave the Democratic Party if it became the “anti-Israel party” denying Israel’s “right to defend itself and to exist” in the party’s official platform.
