Sen. John Fetterman exploded on Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner for allegedly sending sexually inappropriate photos to minors on Kik — an app used predominantly by young girls and known as a predator’s paradise.
Speaking to Fox News, Fetterman said he will “wear a suit everyday” if Platner can prove none of the recipients of his sexts were minors.
“I know Democrats that have back to back endorsed and gone all in on Eric Swalwell and were on the Graham Platner train as well too. So, maybe stop getting in bed with absolute dirtbags like Platner.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the leadership of the Maine Democratic Party urged Senate nominee Graham Platner to drop out of the race Monday, after a bombshell Politico report accusing Platner of sexual assault.

Platner insisted the allegation is “categorically false” but said his campaign is reflecting on “the best path forward.”
“Regardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting, but mindful of the political reality it will inflict, we are taking the time to reflect on the best path forward for the state that I love, the people that I love, the movement I belong to, and the goal of defeating Susan Collins,” Platner said in a video his campaign posted to X. “Those were the goals when we launched this campaign, and they remain my goals today.”
A Maine woman, Jenny Racicot, told Politico that Platner entered her home without permission in late 2021 when he was drunk and forced himself on her. Racicot said the two met on a dating app in 2019 and had consensual relations before the night of the alleged sexual assault.
Racicot later expanded on the allegations in a CNN interview in which she alleged Platner raped her “by definition.”
“He violated multiple layers of consent that night. By coming into my home when I asked him not to, and by advancing on me when I told him not to, and furthermore, another incident that I had told him not to do,” Racicot said, referring to his alleged refusal to use protection.
She said: “In that moment, I evaluated my safety. … I basically felt safest just complying.”
