"He really ought to lighten up, Francis," Fetterman told Fox News host Jacqui Heinrich, in an apparent reference to the 1981 comedy "Stripes."

"A lot of the tough talk coming out of his office, that's just pandering to people," he continued.

"What [Fetterman] has been doing for quite some time, for whatever reason, and we all know there may be a few reasons, is completely unacceptable for anyone who actually believes in democracy and who actually believes in the rule of law," Krasner said.

"But I'm not going to criticize or attack him," the senator said, adding, "Regardless, that's a hard rule for anyone - don't compare anyone to Nazis."

"That kind of rhetoric is unacceptable, it is abhorrent, and it is wrong - period, hard stop, end of sentence," the governor told Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier.
