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.”

    You can tell he’s not a real Democrat because real Democrats like Fetterman vote R.

    Also, a politician named Fetterman who votes to fund concentration camps is Shakespearean-grade irony.
