Augusta, Maine — “Maine Democratic Party leadership takes seriously our responsibility to hold every candidate who seeks to represent our state to the highest standard.
Over the past several weeks, multiple women have made serious, credible allegations against Graham Platner. Today’s statements take those allegations even further.
Maine Democratic Party leadership is calling on Graham Platner to withdraw as the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate.
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.
We are entrusted with deciding who represents our values and who carries our banner. That responsibility requires judgment, leadership, and a willingness to act when circumstances demand it.
This Senate race comes at a pivotal moment in the struggle against a government, supported by Senator Collins, that serves the interests of the wealthy and powerful at the expense of ordinary Maine people. It is essential that we refocus this campaign on that struggle”.

Say what you will about his looks, and I don’t disagree with you, but his wife is a hottie. So I give him a lot of credit for pulling that one off. Women these days don’t even give a guy the time of day unless he’s practically flawless.
Happened to catch a quick look at her while touring the Senate wi g of the Capitol last year. She a tiny little little lebrechaun. Sadly I emphatically agree we need to keep her
Why does Ro look like he has a sex toy up his posterior?
100% correct.
Apparently SS tattoos are fine for demonrats
Maine Dem Gov candidate is out on Plattner. It is about control of the US Senate for her.
My statement on Graham Platner:
These allegations are deeply disturbing. Jenny Racicot is a woman who has shown real courage in sharing her story — what she’s describing is serious, credible and cannot be dismissed.
For Maine, for the future of control of the US Senate, and because no party should stand behind a candidate facing allegations of assault, Graham Platner should exit the race immediately. Democrats need a nominee who can beat Susan Collins in November. Graham Platner is no longer that candidate.
Graham Platner tapped into something real — voters hungry for change showed up with real passion and energy. That energy doesn’t have to go away. It needs a new candidate to carry it forward.
Dems turning against him has nothing to do with any allegations. He started out polling 8-10 points ahead of Collins, so they whitewashed everything and tried to hide it. He is now polling behind her, so he has to go. It’s because he’s going to lose; it has nothing to do with any allegations. If he were still 8-10 points ahead, they’d just bury these allegations like all the others.
It’s the same thing they did to Swallwell in the CA governor race. All those allegations were well known for years in DC. There was a good chance that the Dems would split their vote in the jungle primary and that two Republicans would end up winning. Swallwell was the easy one to eliminate to unify the vote and ensure Beccaria would be in the general
There is no statute of limitations for rape in Maine. The DA where Ms. R. was raped needs to interview her and charge Platner.

The question is who...
Lame stream media...😴😴😴😴😴😴😴
Back in 1970, I knew several women from Massachusetts that told me the same.
Answer: Maybe he does.
Frankly, I believe Joe Biden and his obnoxious wife(handler) are out of most peoples consciousness. Everybody knew what was wrong with Biden but couldn’t be allowed to say it....Joe Scared Burro deserves to be sent to Hell for his outright lies.
