Anthony Weiner went to prison for sending explicit messages to a 15-year-old girl.
Now Democrats are running Graham Platner – a married man who spent a decade on Kik, the app the FBI calls a predator's paradise for child exploitation – as their best shot at the Senate.
John Fetterman just laid a trap Platner can't walk out of.
Fetterman's Challenge Cuts to the Core
On Fox News Saturday in America, Fetterman made an offer that was really an ultimatum.
Release every text and message sent to "a dozen women" on Kik – under the handle "P-Hustle" – and Fetterman would wear a suit on the Senate floor every single day.
P-Hustle never called.
Fetterman made clear why the silence matters.
"Can P-Hustle prove how old these people are?" he asked.
Kik is anonymous by design. That's the point.
That's why Platner was there for a decade.
"I mean, do you know what Kik is?" Fetterman said. "Just anyone watching, Google what Kik is. They go there because it can be anonymous and they can do all kinds of depraved things."

Fetterman – who called himself "the one honest Democrat" on this story – didn't stop at the app.
He said he'd never "carry water" for a man who called Navy SEAL Chris Kyle "a dumb MFer" and claimed Kyle was shooting innocent civilians.
This is a Democrat, on Fox News, dismantling his own party's Senate candidate.
The Democrats Doing the Opposite
Chuck Schumer looked at all of that, sat with Platner for an hour and a half in Washington, and walked out repeating the same sentence to every reporter: "We're going to beat Susan Collins and take back the Senate."
Bernie Sanders told America to stop focusing on "Graham Platner's marriage."
Cory Booker said he had "concerns" – and then went back to work.
That's the Democrat Party's response to a candidate who sent explicit messages to multiple women while newly married, whose wife flagged the behavior to his own campaign, who twisted a girlfriend's arm behind her back and locked her in a room, who posted on Reddit that sexual assault victims should have avoided drinking too much, and who wore a Nazi tattoo he claims he didn't know was a Nazi tattoo.
The Weiner Pattern Democrats Refuse to Learn
This isn't new. In 2011, Anthony Weiner resigned from Congress after sending explicit photos to multiple women.
Democrats forgave him.

He ran for New York City mayor in 2013 under the alias "Carlos Danger" – and a second sexting scandal surfaced mid-campaign.
Democrats still backed him. In 2016, the FBI found messages to a 15-year-old girl on his laptop.
Weiner served 21 months in federal prison and registered as a sex offender.
Platner has now been caught on the same anonymous app, with the same pattern – married, secret handle, messages to multiple women, zero age verification possible.
The party saw the Weiner story from start to finish and still can't ask the one question Fetterman asked on national television: if P-Hustle has nothing to hide, why won't he release the messages?
Democrats watched Weiner go to prison and learned nothing.
They're about to do it again – and they're daring Maine voters to stop them.
