Platner vows not to be 'a**hole' like Fetterman if elected to Senate
“I mean, as you can all probably tell, I got a lot of criticisms about the way this government functions, but in order for us to make it functional, we’re going to have to do stuff, and you can’t just go down there and be John Fetterman, and just, and just kind of, just sort of be an a**hole,” Platner continued.
He then quickly moved to justify his remarks, clarifying that Fetterman “said mean things about me, I’m allowed to say that.”
Among Fetterman’s remarks over the past couple of months about Platner was a comment using the same curse word to describe the Maine Democrat.
“Democrats really, really like Platner in Maine but the Republicans f***ing love him,” Fetterman said in April, later adding, “if Maine wants an a**hole with a Nazi tattoo on his chest, they get him.”

Platner’s Monday comments aren’t his first bit of returning fire against Fetterman. He’s begun responding to the senator’s attacks more frequently over the past week.
