Fetterman calls Platner a ‘creep’ after reports of extramarital sexting
Fetterman said Platner’s online history and reported sexual messages raise questions as Senate Democrats weigh whether to keep backing him.
- On Tuesday, Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman issued a scathing critique of Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, citing reports of explicit text messages and likening him to a "Nazi sympathizer" over a controversial tattoo.
- Amy Gertner, Platner's wife, said on Saturday she was "deeply hurt" after details of her husband's messages became public, accusing a former campaign official of betraying her trust after she flagged his sexual texts to staff last year.
- CNN verified that a Kik account with the username "phustle0331" appears to belong to Platner. Fetterman questioned, "What kind of a creeper has been on a platform like Kik, and send a dozen explicit kinds of messages and who knows what else?"
- Minnesota Sen Tina Smith argued Maine voters care more about policy than text messages. Fetterman added, "we'll all have to work together," even if Platner likes "being a tough guy behind the keyboard."
- Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer stated on Tuesday that Democrats aim to "take back the Senate," as Platner faces a competitive race against Collins despite apologizing for past social media posts.
