Blindsided CNN anchor 'glad' her kids weren't watching as Fetterman unleashes lewd remarks

A CNN anchor was shocked by a senator's description of the lewd antics of an embattled candidate.

"Glad my children aren't old enough to watch this show," CNN host Kasie Hunt said as Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) described his understanding of the scandal surrounding Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner.

Platner is in hot water ahead of the Maine primaries as bombshell reporting by the Wall Street Journal and New York Times revealed allegations of him sending sexually explicit texts while married and acting aggressively in previous relationships.

Fetterman didn't censor himself as he accused Platner of sending "d— pics," even though Hunt was quick to clarify that recent reports about Platner's sexting scandal only mention sexually explicit texts, not nude images.

Hunt repeated the words "d— pics" when making it clear that Fetterman assumed Platner sent those kinds of messages. But the follow-up question triggered a cascade of even more raunchy remarks from Fetterman.

"A guy that he talked about and described, d—, he's already done that in his writings," Fetterman said, trying to explain his assumption. "When he would used to sit in the port-a-potties, you know, he would say that he would want to m— to them."
