Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner attacked Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) on social media Saturday night after the Pennsylvania lawmaker said he’d wear a suit “every day” if Platner released the texts and messages he has allegedly sent to other women.Fetterman said on Fox News’s “Saturday in America” that he has not heard from the embattled candidate on the proposed deal, adding that Platner had previously expressed anger at Fetterman’s famous decision to never wear a suit.“John Fetterman seems to genuinely think that the reason no one likes him is because he refuses to wear a suit,” Platner said in a post on X. “It’s not the hoodie, dude. It’s because you’ve become a stooge for AIPAC and the Republican party.”
Platner’s direct response to Fetterman comes one day after he held a get-out-the-vote rally in Bar Harbor, Maine, where he categorized the escalating controversies surrounding his candidacy as “politically motivated” and “false.”
“When hurtful things I said on the internet a decade ago came out into the public, as I shared my personal journey through PTSD and darkness of recovery and accountability and growth, Maine had my back,” he said to a crowd of supporters. “Now, as every single piece of that past and journey gets dug up, litigated, and weaponized, you have my back.”
