Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania is probably feeling very vindicated, following the latest allegations against Maine senate candidate Graham Platner.

Unlike most people in his party, Fetterman has been on to Platner from the beginning. A few weeks back, Fetterman was asked about Platner by a CNN reporter and he described him as a creep.

Fetterman also saw red flags when it was revealed that Platner spent time on a social media outlet that is known as a hotspot for predators.

Tonight, Fetterman appeared on FOX News and called Platner a dead man walking.

Penn Live reports:

Sen. John Fetterman on Monday called Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner a ‘dead man walking’ politically after an explosive accusation by yet another woman who said Platner sexually assaulted her.

Speaking on Fox News “The Ingraham Angle,” Fetterman, who had gotten into a high-profile name-calling exchange with Platner last month, leveled a fresh round of insults at the fellow Democrat and said he stood with the women who said they were assaulted by Platner.

Fetterman added that maybe Democrats who stuck with Platner ought to apologize to the victims.

“Stop getting in bed with absolute dirt bags, someone like Platner.” Fetterman said.

The interview came on the day Politico published a report in which a woman who had once dated Platner said that in 2021 he drunkenly forced her to have sex after she told him to stop.

Platner released a video Monday denying the accusation and saying he would consider next steps for his campaign.

Conservatives may not agree with Fetterman on all of the issues, but his instinct on people appears to be intact.

This entire affair is such a huge embarrassment for the Democrats. They went out on a limb for Graham Platner, defending him over and over again and now his campaign is imploding right in front of their eyes.

They probably should have listened to John Fetterman.
