Sen. John Fetterman sounded the alarm Friday about the leftward drift of his own party, warning that a “small Communist takeover” is underway in Maine as Graham Platner closes in on the Democratic Senate nomination.
Appearing on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime,” the Pennsylvania Democrat said the rise of Mr. Platner — an oyster farmer and Marine Corps veteran who wrote in a 2021 Reddit post, “I got older and became a communist” — exemplified the Democratic Party’s inability to resist its worst impulses.
“There is kind of a small Communist takeover in Maine,” Mr. Fetterman said. “Platner, he’s already announced that he’s an avowed Communist. He’s made that statement, and he put that online. Now, he’s going to be the Democratic nominee.”
Mr. Platner has since disavowed the post, telling CNN it was “internet s—-posting” from a darker period of his life. “I’m not a communist. I’m not a socialist. I own a small business. I’m a Marine Corps veteran,” he told the network.
Mr. Fetterman also took aim at the broader protest movement that coalesced around May Day demonstrations, arguing that far-left groups including Code Pink are aligned with and financed by foreign interests, including the Chinese Communist Party — an assertion he did not substantiate.
“A lot of these terrible groups like Code Pink and a lot of the other ones that are strongly aligned to the CCP, without a doubt, they’re being financed,” he said. “It’s ironic — these kinds of protests are being funded by billionaires against billionaires.”

Need to send all the Haitians up there to their 98% honkey asses. They can learn about that “diversity is our strength” thing they talk about.
Actually, he's a Nazi. With a Nazi tattoo to prove it. The fact that he later inked over it in a lame ass effort to hide his evil intents is laughable.
Oh you were just kidding. Well, you’re ok then. He’ll fit right in with a bunch that would just as soon lie as draw their next breath
Why does it take a Democrat to state this obvious fact, and no Republican Senator of any stripe has mentioned that he’s a communist?
“I’m a Marine Corps veteran,”
So was Lee Harvey Oswald.
I wonder how much $$$ the Chicoms are paying Platner to keep quiet about all the marijuana farms in Maine should he win.
“small Communist takeover”
It’s a LARGE demonic, islamocommie takeover.
Fetterman had better run away from it……and not look back.. so should any other vestige of the former democrat party.
These people are inherently evil.
I’m 84 yeards old and still a Marine.
Platner is not a Marine.
Semper fi
There are plenty of Somali bulbheads up there,already to provide cultural enrichment.
Re “ actually, he’s a Nazi…”
Which means he is in fact a socialist… A national socialist… Which is where the acronym “Nazi“ comes from.
The only good thing about Maine, according to this terrible disclosure, is the Maine Coon Cat.
Wish his opponenet would plaster that all over the airwaves in Maine-
