Sen. John Fetterman<\/a> (D-Pa.) pledged to wear a suit \u201cevery day\u201d if embattled Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner can prove he didn\u2019t send \u201cd\u2013k pics\u201d to minors.<\/p>\n

The extraordinary hoodie challenge came during Fetterman\u2019s appearance<\/a> on Fox News Saturday in America, where he referred to Platner, who admitted he had an active Kik account while newly married, as \u201cP-Hustle\u201d \u2013 Platner\u2019s user name.<\/p>\n

The term drew a head-shake from interviewer Kayleigh McEnany.<\/p>\n

\u201cP-Hustle, here\u2019s a great chance. You can just prove that all these people that you\u2019re dropping those d\u2013k pics and saying these things to were over 18.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will wear a suit every day in the Senate,\u201d said Fetterman, who has become Platner\u2019s foremost critic in Congress.<\/p>\n

He wore his signature black hoodie<\/a> during the interview, and regularly wears shorts when working in the Senate.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can set the record clear and provide all of those texts and all of those conversations that you were having as a newlywed just before you were going to run for the Senate,\u201d Fetterman said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTransparency,\u201d he added, noting the site has been probed for hosting underage <\/a>users.<\/p>\n

Democrats are scrambling to contain the damage after Platner admitted to sexting women \u201csoon\u201d after getting married, then faced a New York Times report where ex girlfriend Lyndsey Fifield accused him of twisting her arm during an argument and locking her in a bedroom and keeping her there until she was \u201ccalm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Platner has denied the allegations<\/a>, and has not been accused of any unlawful activity with minors. His campaign did not immediately respond to The Post\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

McEnany was asking Fetterman about earlier comments to Fox News host Sean Hannity, where he issued a more sanitized version of his challenge to Platner.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis 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,\u201d he said. He told Platner to release the messages if he had \u201cnothing to hide.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sen.
