Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) rebuked the Democratic nominee in the Maine Senate race on Friday, saying scandal-plagued Graham Platner is “not even a Democrat.”

“We’re the party of pearl clutching, and now we’ve embraced him because we don’t have a choice,” Fetterman told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham in an interview Friday.

“Like if you can’t really defend him, you could at least say, well, he has a ‘D’ after his name, but he’s not even a Democrat,” he continued. “He actually described himself as a communist.”

As we've learned from fetterman himself, having a D next to your name doesn't mean much.

    If Fetterman is a Democrat I prefer someone who’s not.

    "He's not even a Democrat,"

    Fetterman told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham in an interview Friday.

    On Fox News, lol. Let that sink in.

    Fetterman's so busy trying to fuck Platner he thinks that Fox News -- MAGA central and 100% invested in decrepit old Collins -- is exactly the place to get the word out to potential Platner voters, and reach the undecided who are already sick of MAGA shit.

    It is also possible no other media will let Fetterman speak as if he has anything valid or sane left to say.

    Either way, I'm thrilled. The right clearly has no idea where Platner is getting his votes from, any more than Orban's team knew where Magyar was getting his votes from in Hungary last month.

    A fake Dem goes on Fox News to tell anyone who will listen that Platner is a fake Dem, lol. I love this for them.

    He was a piece of shit before the stroke, he just hadn't revealed it entirely yet.

    It is a lot of revisionist history. If you actually tuned in early on and listened in any depth, it was real.

    I can't find it now, but there was one earlier interview in particular on CNN/MSNBC, maybe when he was running for lieutenant governor? It was in front of a Sheetz or a Wawa and he genuinely felt like he could be a viable presidential candidate one day. Clear, confident and progressive positions expressed very matter of fact.

    The person you see today is not the same person. Again, john fetterman died.

    That is bullshit, I knew Fetterman was a piece of shit from the start. Due to his unqualified support for Israel and fracking.

    I saw it, the intercept saw and said it at some point before the election as well.

    If you didn't see it, it just means you failed.

    Before "the election"... what are you taking about, guy? Fetterman has held several local and state offices before the stroke. Those were years of saying shit and delivering tangible outcomes, that's how he advanced to national prominence, not because he wore shorts.

    But again, that fetterman was real, and died from a stroke.

    Probably not a good idea, since he's enormous and could seriously hurt most people simply by falling on them.

    Better to accelerate rocks, manure, and rotten produce at him from a distance.

    Seems like Platner is not popular with the brain damage crowd.

    American conservatives use the "Fascists deserve free speech, people I call communists do not" all the time.

    And also, it turns out - they think virtually everyone is a communist. Certainly anyone not bootlicking DonOLD is a communist in their eyes.

    But these are the same smoothbrains that think corporate media like ABC, PBS, NPR, CNN, etc....are "liberal", too, LOL.

    John Fetterman hasn't had enough strokes yet.

    You can tell he's not a real Democrat because real Democrats like Fetterman vote R.

    Also, a politician named Fetterman who votes to fund concentration camps is Shakespearean-grade irony.
