Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman sharply criticized embattled Senate candidate Graham Platner over his history of inflammatory remarks and challenged him to release messages linked to a Kik account at the center of controversy in Maine’s Senate race. 
Platner (D-Maine) faces accusations of exchanging explicit messages with multiple women on the messaging app Kik, drawing severe public criticism from Fetterman (D-Pa.), who openly mocked the candidate’s “pHustle” online handle and labeled him a “creep. 
” The Pennsylvania Democrat then escalated the feud, offering an unusual personal concession by daring Platner to release the full text logs in exchange for Fetterman promising to “wear a suit every day” on the Senate floor. 
“This is a guy that had a problem with me, how I dress, but he seemed to have no problem posing in a towel at a disgusting website that consistently had serious problems about that kinds of depravity,” Fetterman stated. 
“Let me make a deal. 
I’ll tell P-Hustle I’ll wear a suit every day, if he releases all those texts and messages that he’s had  [with] the dozen women. 
You can prove [to] America… what’s [in] these conversations. 
Can P-Hustle prove how old these people are? 
” he added. 
Platner’s campaign claims that he deleted the Kik app from his phone, but did not deactivate the account, making it the latest hotspot in a growing cascade of controversies for the candidate. 
The profile, which dates back to June 2016 and connects to Platner’s past Reddit and Instagram handles, remained active and featured a photo of a shirtless Platner with a towel wrapped around his waist. 
Fetterman also argued that Platner should release the logs if he has nothing to hide, raising concerns about age verification on anonymous messaging platforms. 
The remarks follow comments Fetterman made to reporters earlier this week, where he vowed to never “carry water” for Platner. 
Fetterman questioned why some Democrats continue to back the candidate, comparing the situation to past political scandals involving explicit messaging. 
“As a Democrat, I’m never going to carry water for a guy that calls an American hero a dumb MFer, or someone that smears Chris Kyle,” Fetterman said while on Fox News, referring to the late Navy SEAL. 
“He has said so many offensive things that it’s hard to keep up with it.” 
Breaking away from party leadership who have quietly maintained support for Platner ahead of the primary to protect a crucial Senate seat, Fetterman made his opposition clear. 
“As a Democrat, I’m never going to carry water for a guy that calls an American hero a dumb MFer, or someone that smears Chris Kyle. 
He has said so many offensive things that it’s hard to keep up with it,” said Fetterman. 
Platner’s campaign has not responded to requests for comment.
