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.” P. Hustle, bro, you will only be remembered as the accused rapist that got pushed out of your election. That’s your legacy, bro, and you are a guy that cheats on your wife, you’re the guy that roughs up your ex-girlfriend, you know, that’s your legacy, bro. So go back under the rock that you came from,” the Pennsylvania senator said.
