Fetterman demands Bernie Sanders apologize for backing alleged 'predator' Graham Platner in Maine Senate race

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., is demanding an apology from Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., as explosive new sexual assault allegations have rocked Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner’s campaign.

“I would really call Bernie Sanders to apologize for pushing this kind of predator more than anyone,” Fetterman said Monday on “The Ingraham Angle.”

“He helped him [become the Democratic nominee], and now [he should] apologize to the victims, especially the woman that she claimed that he raped her. I don’t know why you want to keep pushing these kinds of people.”

SANDERS CAUGHT ON CAMERA SNAPPING AT REPORTER OVER PLATNER’S POSTS: ‘GET A BETTER JOB’

Platner’s Senate hopes are on life support after Jenny Racicot alleged that he sexually assaulted her in interviews with Politico and CNN. Racicot claims the Senate hopeful entered her home uninvited while intoxicated nearly five years ago and forced himself on her despite repeated attempts to get him to stop.

Racicot, who was seeing Platner on and off at the time, told Politico she immediately cut ties with him after he allegedly forced her to engage in unprotected sex, saying, “I remember the specific moment where I thought to myself, like, ‘This is no longer my choice.’”

Platner’s campaign issued a statement denying Racicot’s accusations, adding that he was “taking the time to reflect on the best path forward” for his campaign.

Democrats, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., swiftly abandoned the embattled Democratic nominee and urged him to drop out of the high-stakes Senate race.

Sanders, however, has remained silent and did not return Fox News Digital’s prior request for comment. 

Fetterman said Sanders should consider “sit[ting] a few out” after bashing his support for “communists.”

The Pennsylvania Democrat has been critical of Platner for some time, previously questioning his conduct on the Kik platform and pressuring him to make public the messages he allegedly exchanged with women on the platform.

Reacting to Racicot’s accusations Monday, Fetterman expressed his condolences for any trauma she experienced.

“It was very brave for her to come [forward with] this. I’m so sorry for what she’s been through,” he said.
