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.
There is no statute of limitations for rape in Maine. The DA where Ms. R. was raped needs to interview her and charge Platner.
