John Fetterman Calls Graham Platner a ‘Creep’

June 2, 2026 · 4:39 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) “issued a scathing takedown of Graham Platner as the leading Democratic candidate in Maine’s Senate race has become embroiled in a scandal over reports that he sent sexual text messages to women who were not his wife,” CNN reports. 

Fetterman also likened Platner to a “Nazi sympathizer” over a now-infamous tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol.

Said Fetterman: “When I was growing up, if someone had a clear Nazi tattoo on them, you probably could conclude that they’re a Nazi sympathizer. Are you going to continue to defend that or dismiss that?”
