Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) says Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) should “apologize” for championing Graham Platner’s Senate candidacy in Maine, calling Platner a “predator.”
“I would really call Bernie Sanders to apologize for pushing this kind of predator more than anyone he helped,” Fetterman told Fox News host Laura Ingraham in an interview.
“So I don’t know why you want to keep pushing these kinds of people,” Fetterman added.
Fetterman suggested that Sanders should take a break from endorsing candidates, given how things are turning out in Maine, according to reporter Alexander Bolton of The Hill.
A former Platner girlfriend came out Monday in a report by Politico accusing him of having raped her. He quickly denied her claim.
The rape allegation was enough for Fetterman to call out Sanders backing Platner, who has been plagued with multiple sexual-abuse allegations.
“Maybe he should consider sit a few out and stop pushing these kinds of communists and people,” Fetterman said, adding that Platner has “been credibly accused of rape.”
Platner was an unknown name until the likes of Bernie Sanders decided he was a good bet to take on five-term GOP Sen. Susan Collins.
With support from a heavyweight such as Vermont’s senior senator, Platner overwhelmingly won the U.S. Senate Democrat primary last month in Maine.
Sanders, who describes himself as an “independent,” caucuses with Democrats so he’s virtually one of them with the freedom of claiming independence.
In voicing early support for upstart Platner, he was out in front of Democrat leadership such as Democrat Chuck Schumer of New York, minority leader in the Senate.
While Bernie was staking out the socialist wing of the party to help his new buddy Platner, Schumer was supposedly playing it safe by backing Janet Mills, the two-term-limited Maine governor.
But Mills turned out to be a bad bet, losing the primary to Platner by some 50 points.
Sanders so far has been silent on whether he will pull the plug on the radioactive Platner, who reportedly is now considering quitting the race in light of the latest allegations of sexual impropriety lodged against him.

The DSA fox is loose in the DNC henhouse, and feathers are flying.
Apologies are not enough from Bernie.
On a positive note . . . this has managed to keep Bernie’s mouth shut for a change.
This Bernie situation illustrates how Sanders thinks. Without any obvious research, he just shoots from the hip and the verbal bullets are flying everywhere. One of these times when he pulls his weapon he’ll shoot himself real bad. He doesn’t carry a concealed permit to shoot his mouth off. Must brush his teeth with gunpowder, always shooting his mouth off. So sorry he carries the Vermont tag.
” he just shoots from the hip and the verbal bullets are flying everywhere” Bernie is just like Trump. We could use to have both of them off of the national stage and out of politics.
To me this is just too funny. The Democrat Party old time liberals over the years allowed Progressives aka Socialists to infiltrate their party. Then the Progressives let in the Democratic Socialists like Bernie aka little Communists or communists without guns. Now Bernie and AOC are running around the country getting other communists like Mamdani and the ones he endorsed in NY City win elections and what do we see? Commies trying to out Commie the other Commies to see who the biggest and best Commie can be.
“There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide.” – Ayn Rand
“You can easily vote your way into Socialism, but you must shoot your way out”

Bernie Sanders is a hypocrite! He is a millionaire off taxpayers money! He has misused and misappropriated taxpayers money. Bernie is a Communist who tried to hide he is a Democrat by claiming he is an Independent! Remove this communist clown from Vermont!
In 2 years President Trump will be off the stage, can you say the same thing about Bernie? People don’t know the real Bernie and yes he’s a millionaire from revenue from a book and kickbacks from the pharmaceutical companies-what is it -he owns at least 3 homes one on lake Champlain-very nice Bernie. You really do want to cause chaos to start a civil war to overthrow the government don’t you Bernie!!! You don’t like the constitution, capitalism and free enterprise!!! You want communism and full government control over everyone with free food, Medicare for all, free transportation. Do what I say- and not what I do….You like imminent domain to take property away from people who have owned it for years and give it to people who haven’t earned a thing while you live comfortably in your lake house living off your interest while others suffer due to your communistic dogma. I agree with Senator Fetterman of Pennsylvania that Bernie should apologize to Maine for Platner. And then retire immediately.
I truly hope that this country will come to its senses in November and not vote for any democrat because they lie to your face beforehand to tell you what you want to hear, then do what they want once they are in office with a plan to undermine the country!!!!. Bernie needs to apologize for his politics!!!!
Perhaps Fetterman can apologize calling himself a Democrat. Also is he part of the gang supporting a President who rapes, steals, lies, throws are allies under a bus and destroys our country.
