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.

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.

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."

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.

... Jenny Racicot, who once dated Platner, said he showed up at her home in 2021 and forced himself on her. Platner said the allegation is "categorically false."

Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner is denying a new allegation of sexual assault, an explosive development injecting tumult into a race that is central to the Democratic Party's path to winning back the Senate.

Despite the denial, Platner said in a video that he is taking "time to reflect on the best path forward" with his candidacy, while several prominent supporters revoked their endorsements. ...

If you ignore the people who have come forward to state he raped them.

If you ignore the Epstein survivors.

If you ignore Pam Bondi saying he's in the Epstein files.

If you ignore Trump saying he can't help himself around women and he's drawn to sexually assaulting them.

If you ignore teenagers in beauty pageants saying he walked in on them while they were naked.

If you ignore the letter he wrote Epstein, the pictures of him surrounded by underage girls.

There's still the guilty charge of sexual assault against E. Jean Carroll.

Which you will also ignore.

Use your head Clownshack, if there was something in those files, don't you think after all the lying, conniving Democrats in congress did, they could come up with something?
Nothing in your diatribe is evidence of any of your accusations.

Maine Democratic Senate candidate Platner faces calls to withdraw after sexual assault allegation
abcnews.com

... Maine Democratic Party officials released a statement calling on Platner to withdraw as the party's nominee for Senate.

"Over the past several weeks, multiple women have made serious, credible allegations against Graham Platner. Today's statements take those allegations even further," party Chair Charlie Dingman, Vice Chair Imke Schessler and Exective Director Devon Murphy-Anderson said in a joint statement. "The Maine Democratic Party leadership stands with women and survivors, and that principle does not bend based on party affiliation. We respect the women who made the hard decision to come forward. Speaking up is often costly."

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who chairs the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, called on Platner to withdraw and said the committee would not invest in the race if Platner doesn't. ...

"They are going to find more about the controversies that already follow him such as that nazi tattoo, his views on police, abuse victims, women, lies told about his military service and who knows what else he has hidden. They will find all the dumb stuff he has said on the internet and he's going to spend much of his campaign apologizing and blaming it on PTSD. I won't be surprised to see allegations of domestic abuse and sexual assault surface. GOP voters have shown they are willing to overlook horrible behavior, criminal even, but we are going to end up learning things about Platner that is going to result in a lot of democrats turning their backs on him.

I had heard about the conversations with her therapist, but is that evidence or hearsay? I'm not a lawyer, so I do not know how that would stand up in Court.

Who wrote the texts and social media posts? Mr Platner or someone else? Again, hearsay or evidence? Would they hold up in Court.

OK, all that aside, for a person running for office, the court of public opinion is the operative judge. And it looks pretty bad for Mr Platner.

If he drops out, that would, imo, be the right thing for him to do.

Platner is, as the kids say, cooked. He should drop out immediately so the party can officially start the business of selecting a replacement. My recommendation, Troy Jackson. He doesn't have the charisma of Platner but he's a known quantity in Maine politics having served in multiple terms in both the state house and senate. His politics are similar to Platner's so much so that they endorsed each other when Jackson was running for the Democratic primary nomination for governor in the recent election. He lost that one but it was a strange election with Jackson being one of 4 candidates to receive at least 20% of the first place votes in what was a ranked choice election.

I don't think they can legally prevent him from running if he's determined to, now that he won the Primary.

#50. The problem is will more shoes drop about this guy? NYT knew this woman's story and promised Fifield they would publish the stories of other victims alongside her own. Then they hung her out to dry (I believe it was deliberate) and ran only with her story. They contacted 2 of her friends who were only able to cooborate that Fifield and Platner had dated. But she also provided 3 other friends who could corroborate the more sordid stuff and didn't bother contacting them. It was classic NYT acting as Dem media operatives. Fifield was going public no matter what, so NYT swept in and managed the process so as to minimize damage to Platner. And why not, Fifield is a Republican. She's an easy victim to attack as not being credible for that reason. This latest victim to come forward just had two relive him forcing himself on her. I believe she too was coming forward no matter what so Politico leapt on it with enough time for the DNC to pull another Biden/Harris swap. Dems end up look8ng really bad here but I think they have other threats behind the scenes that could possibly ruin this guy financially.

Trump never said he grabs women by the pussy? He was never found guilty of rape? He never partied with epstein for 2 decades? He never denied ever flying on epstein's plane before being proven to have flown on it dozens of times? He never bragged about sneaking into the dressing room of teenage pageant contestants?

And if biden was a brain dead vegetable, why did he get such better results than trump at nearly everything?

Platner's unraveling may keep the Senate in play for Democrats
thehill.com

... It looks like Graham Platner won't be putting oyster stew on the Senate Dining Room menu any time soon.

In the wake of the most serious allegations yet against the scandal-soaked Democratic Senate nominee -- this time that he raped an erstwhile girlfriend in 2021 -- the months-long drumbeat from party leaders to get him out of the race may yet succeed.

Platner vehemently denies the charge but given that his most recent scandals prior to the rape claim involved acknowledged misconduct in his marriage and prior relationships, he may have finally run out of goodwill among his supporters. When he posted his video dismissing the allegation, Platner was already speaking in the past tense about his candidacy and said that he would be evaluating the "best path forward."

That's candidate-ese for "I have to talk to my donors and prominent endorsers and see if they're dropping me."

Maine law gives him until July 13 to withdraw in favor of state Democrats' designated replacement. The first batch of post-primary polls in Platner's race against incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) already showed him weighed down by his baggage, so if he did try to hang on, Platner would find that many of his onetime boosters -- folks who had developed an ethical relativism worthy of a Trump flak -- probably wouldn't be up for any more shucking on his behalf. ...

The smart play for Democrats, and probably Platner himself, is to try a do-over. Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills, who began her candidacy reluctantly, now seems like she's champing at the bit. If Platner goes quietly, Democrats could quickly get Collins and the GOP back on the defensive and keep the chance of retaking the Senate alive.

The math isn't great for Democrats. They have to win eight of 11 competitive Senate races this year to take back the Senate for the first time since 2014. ...
