Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) blasted Graham Platner, the Democratic Senate nominee in Maine, as the “king of the dirtbags,” highlighting growing tensions within the party after another socialist won a congressional primary in Colorado.
After a sweeping win from Melot Kiros, a 29-year-old socialist, in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District over Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) and a string of socialist primary victories in New York City, critics warn that socialists are surging in popularity.

“I warned, I said the Democratic Party, we’re heading for an orgy of socialism, and now look, here we are for these things,” Fetterman said Wednesday on Fox News’s Hannity. “These very specific kinds of candidates, these aren’t my smears, these are using their own words, and their views and their tweets, the things that they’ve said and the way they behave.
“Then of course you have the king of the dirtbags, [Platner] up in Maine, roughing up ex-girlfriends and spending a decade on a social media called Kik that’s been described as the predator’s paradise for why people are on those kinds of platforms.”
Platner has faced allegations of racism, accusations involving Nazi symbolism, claims of infidelity, and reports that he exchanged sexually explicit messages with women who were not his wife. He has insisted that allegations of abuse are not true. He has disavowed past comments seen as racist made during a low point in his life, insisted he did not know a skull-and-crossbones tattoo he got on his chest when in the military was associated with Nazis, and admitted he has worked through problems in his marriage.
Fetterman emphasized his criticism of socialists within the Democratic Party but noted that the party does have some great candidates aligned, saying, “We have some great, great candidates like Ossoff, Brown, and you have Talarico, he’s a nice guy, no matter what anybody would say or think.”
Fetterman said his real concern is that the Democratic Party will take communism and socialism and align with controversies, including Israel being able to defend itself and exist, declaring that if that becomes the case, it would be the one thing to separate him from the Democratic Party.

Fetterman noted that he was very alarmed by Democrats going after Israel and allowing antisemitism to flourish.
“As a Democrat, it’s entirely appropriate to just call that out,” Fetterman said.
