Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania spoke to FOX News on the phone last night to react to the exit of Graham Platner from the Maine senate race.

Fetterman, who has been very critical of Platner for months now, did not hold back. He said that ‘the trash took itself out.’

Fetterman then went further and said that this is Graham Platner’s legacy. Rape allegations and worse.

He also called on Bernie Sanders to apologize.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

Sen. John Fetterman called in to FOX News on Wednesday evening to react to Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner dropping out of the race, while continuing to deny an accusation of rape. Fetterman has called Platner a “predator” and a “trashbag.”

“I’d say the trash took itself out,” he said. “He leaves [as] an accused rapist.”

“He can go back online, he can go around doing all the kinds of things, but yeah, the trash took itself out tonight,” Fetterman continued. “And now finally, people in Maine have a chance to really vote on someone that’s not a total piece of trash.”

“He gave that weird long speech, it’s like, no one wants you anymore. I’m like, bro, you are an accused rapist, you know, no one wants your endorsement, no one cares what you think. You are going, you know, straight back into oblivion, and now that’s the reality: to give that weird long speech and pretend like people will miss you, no one’s gonna forget you other than [as] the guy that was pushed out of the election because a woman credibly accused you of raping her.”

“So that’s his legacy,” Fetterman said. “That weird long speech, that’s his legacy, he will be remembered as an accused rapist that was forced, he acted like he had a choice, like he’s always been a dead man walking, so it’s a good day.”

Watch the video:

Word on the street is that lots of Democrats are furious with Bernie Sanders for promoting Platner so aggressively over the last several months and who can blame them?

Bernie cares more about his socialist ‘revolution’ than he does about the Democrat Party. He’s not even a member, he just caucuses with them.

If Democrats had any brains, they’d tell him he’s no longer welcome.
