Fetterman sparks firestorm over Fox News interview claims: 'Look in the mirror'
The internet was livid Monday after Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) slammed Democrats for boosting Maine Senate candidate and Democrat Graham Platner — taking swipes at his own party and prominent leaders.
Fetterman appeared on Fox News in an interview with anchor Laura Ingraham, as calls were mounting for the candidate to step down from the competitive Senate race after he was accused of sexual assault.
"I would really call Bernie Sanders to apologize for pushing this kind of predator more than anyone he helped him elect," Fetterman said. "Maybe he should stop pushing these communists."
Social media users called Fetterman out for his comments.
"Says the guy also pushed on us by Bernie," Rachel Murphy Azzara, founder and executive director of Democrats Work for America, wrote on X.
"This guy is more of a FOX maga anchor than a congressman," liberal political commentator Rodger Williams wrote on X.
"Has Laura Ingraham or Fetterman for that matter ever pushed for Trump to resign?" Political writer Zaid Jilani wrote on X.
"Democrat who trashes Democrats and appears on Fox every chance he gets wants everyone else to look in the mirror," political commentator Hemant Mehta wrote on X.
