Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, July 06, 2026

A woman who dated Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner says he forced her to have sex with him nearly five years ago despite her repeated objections, an allegation Platner denies. The woman, a 41-year-old Maine resident named Jenny Racicot, detailed the alleged incident to POLITICO in three interviews over the past two weeks. POLITICO also spoke with a man Racicot dated and confided in the years after the alleged incident, and reviewed documents, including emails between Racicot and her therapist and messages between Racicot and an acquaintance whom she warned against getting involved with Platner years before he ran for office.

I see 1Nut is all over this guy, but has nothing on the Pedo Protector in Chief.

Thing is, Dems seem to mostly be relieved to find about bad people before they elect them... not elect them because they are poor excuses for a human being.

Most Republicans obviously prefer their political leaders to be convicted felons like the one who grifts out of the WH, tried to illegally overturn an Election, and is STILL refusing to Obey the Law and Release the Epstein Files.

Him, you have nothing but obscene pandering for.

This is literally shooting the messenger. Something you were whining about when I asked for your request to AI.

Democrat Elites are kicking him off the ballot, he's been aligned with DSA, and now the claws are coming out.

Its been mentioned by one of you Lumpers, that its been almost 18yrs since the Democrats have had a real primary.

I see Corky is all over 1Nut's nuts, but has nothing on the Senator candidate from Maine.

It's as if because of Trump, this behavior should be ignored by a candidate for US Senate.

At least that's how Corky defends his attacks of such new items.

Cried literally an entire river over Trump's sexual crimes but wants everyone to STFU about this.

The oligarchs and AIPAC are spending a fortune to beat Graham Platner in Maine.


So, with all their pelf to hire PIs to scour Maine, the Republicans finally found someone willing to testify or perjure herself against the Democratic candidate: Where was this comely lass for the past five years?

Susan Collin's (R-Israel) good-for-nothing husband is a wealthy lobbyist:

"Susan Collins's husband's lobbying firm received over $50 million in federal contracts, with tens of millions of dollars from agencies Susan Collins oversees.

It's got to be one of the great coincidences of American history."

That is the $64,000 question.

See below ...

It's as if because of Trump, this behavior should be ignored by a candidate for US Senate.

This has nothing to do with his behavior; this has everything to do with one week to make a switch, and Graham is a DSA supporter.

This is an internal Elite Democrat struggle, I see three factions, WestCoast (Newsom), EastCoast(Shaprio types) and DSA ...

It's going to be crazy making.

I'm told Nirav Shah is getting a lot of encouraging calls about being a potential replacement for Graham Platner, per a source familiar.x.com

Elite Democrats are running the situation.

Who is Nirav Shah, why it was Biden's CDC director....

Noticing the trend? Wild how Democrats just keep usurping Democracy.

Kind of odd, isn't it?

If the allegation turns out to be true, then throw the book at him.

At this point, I wonder how much of this is just GOP dirty tricks?

I mean, the GOP wouldn't just make up allegations without providing any evidence? Would they?

Not a peep out of CSAMRUNT regarding the brain dead repug from Kentucky. How strange.
