Senator Bernie Sanders criticized Senator John Fetterman on Sunday, labeling him as 'way out of touch' with Americans following Fetterman's comments regarding Sanders' endorsement of Graham Platner, a former Senate candidate from Maine. Sanders referenced a July Quinnipiac University survey indicating that only 19% of Pennsylvania Democrats approved of Fetterman's job performance, suggesting that Fetterman was disconnected from voter sentiments on issues including Israel. Fetterman responded by accusing Sanders of promoting Platner despite controversies surrounding his campaign, demanding an apology for endorsing someone he described as 'an accused rapist.' The exchange highlights ongoing tensions between the two senators regarding their positions and the Democratic Party's approach to Israel and candidate endorsements. Sanders later defended his endorsement of Platner, acknowledging the serious allegations against him but asserting that Platner ran a strong campaign.
