Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) rebuked the Democratic nominee in the Maine Senate race on Friday, saying scandal-plagued Graham Platner is “not even a Democrat.”

“We’re the party of pearl clutching, and now we’ve embraced him because we don’t have a choice,” Fetterman told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham in an interview Friday.

“Like if you can’t really defend him, you could at least say, well, he has a ‘D’ after his name, but he’s not even a Democrat,” he continued. “He actually described himself as a communist.”

    American conservatives use the “Fascists deserve free speech, people I call communists do not” all the time.

      And also, it turns out - they think virtually everyone is a communist. Certainly anyone not bootlicking DonOLD is a communist in their eyes.

      But these are the same smoothbrains that think corporate media like ABC, PBS, NPR, CNN, etc…are “liberal”, too, LOL.
