Maine's Graham Platner is hardly the most extreme Democrat candidate running for office.
Graham Platner, the oyster farmer running for the U.S. Senate in Maine, was exposed last month for making a number of damning comments on social media — including posts where he apparently identified as a communist, branded rural white Americans as racists, suggested that service members worried about being raped should buy "Kevlar underwear," and smeared all police officers as "bastards."
Although he has since covered it up, Platner was also outed for having a tattoo of a skull image similar to that popularized by Adolf Hitler's SS elite Nazi guard.
It appears that Platner, who enjoys the continued support from lawmakers including Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), is far from the most radical candidate seeking election as a Democrat in 2026.
The homosexual socialist running as a Democrat to represent Michigan's 7th district in Congress has engaged in bloodthirsty and inflammatory rhetoric that makes Platner's remarks seem tame by comparison.
'Radical far-left lunatics like Samuel Smeltzer expose the liberal brain rot that is now the current state of the Democrat Party.'
Samuel Smeltzer, a 36-year-old IT contractor who calls himself Elyon Badger and dresses up in an anthropomorphic "furry" costume, has not only stated that "America deserved 9/11," called Jesus "a communist," recommended killing billionaires, labeled Israel as "an enemy of the United States," advocated the imprisonment of all U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, and repeatedly celebrated Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk's assassination, calling him a "massive loser."
Within an hour of Kirk's passing, Smeltzer wrote on the liberal X knockoff Bluesky, "Good things can happen." Days later, he shared an image of the murdered father of two with the caption, "How can we defeat evil, if evil is mourned when it's defeated?"
To ensure there was no mistaking his antipathy for the murder victim, the Democratic candidate smeared Kirk as a "white supremacist who preached stochastic terrorism" in an official campaign statement, blaming the shooting on "gun loving Conservative Christians."
The National Republican Congressional Committee called Smeltzer's remarks about Kirk both "dangerous and disgusting" but noted they were unsurprising when only 38% of Democrats think it's always unacceptable to feel joy about the death of a public figure they oppose.
Despite his website promising "compassionate leadership for a just future," Smeltzer vowed in a recent post to "round up EVER [sic] SINGLE red hat wearing MAGA and put them in hard labor camps for the rest of their lives."
While locking up those with whom he disagrees appears to be one of his key objectives, Smeltzer told the Washington Free Beacon that he is running a "health care and tax-the-rich campaign" and would use a role in Congress to advocate for his fellow "furry" fetishists.
"The furry community is the ultimate form of freedom in America, and that's why conservatives hate it and the queer community so much," he told the Beacon.
Smeltzer recently told the LGBT magazine Between the Lines, "The reason I'm leaning into the furry side of things is the Heritage Foundation has targeted the furry community."
"They're going after the queer spaces and organizations where we are allowed to express creative freedom," the self-identified Democratic socialist added.
Smeltzer claimed that other candidates in the Democratic primary like former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink "can only trudge along and drag this broken cart through the mud; they can't fix it."
Brink reportedly did not respond to the Beacon's request for comment.
NRCC spokesman Zach Bannon noted earlier this year, "Radical far-left lunatics like Samuel Smeltzer expose the liberal brain rot that is now the current state of the Democrat Party."
Blaze News has reached out to the Michigan Democratic Party as well as Rep. Tom Barrett, the Republican who presently represents Michigan's 7th congressional district and is running for a second term, for comment.
Please Democrats keep it up…….violent freaks are usually good for business
The Furry Party rules!
the fascists and totalitarians are almost always leftists with B***S*** psuedo-humanist excuses for why their tyranny is necessary.
Pay attention, progressives aka 'regressives', democrats, liberals, lefts, socialists, sjw all are hate based. It's their liberal pack mentality, hate and attack first it doesn't matter if it is warranted or not, the hate and the attack is the end and the beginning of any discussion as far as they are concerned.
The democrats are the party of hate, their rainbow coalition is a targeting system, they look for things to hate, to attack. Laughably this is why they attack each other so quickly and willingly...
They killed Charlie Kirk, then they tried to tar his name, his wife , his family. They cheered his MURDER by a woke furry trans freak.
Arm your selves, they have thrown down the gauntlet and have sworn they will make America and Americans bow down to their sick political world view. If we don't we will be round up and detained, beaten and killed.
Just look at the news, pick a channel; it's there every hour, every day, every week, they hate you, they hate your family, they hate your kids and they even hate your pets. Even the oily dirty politicians have striped the mask of lies from their faces and are screaming for bloodshed and the death of the innocents.
Arm your selves, be ready and when one of these barely human monsters try to attack you or your family or friends; let them be met by a hail of bullets fired in self defense.
I wish the furry would walk by my deer stand at half-light. I could be confused.
I’m your huckleberry, Graham.
Furry, eh? Here’s hoping he gets mistaken for a deer this hunting season.
Wait a minute ... he’s a furry now?
Da DA duh DA. Da DA duh DA....
Be a shame if he slipped and fell..
He’ll get elected. Those are winning points now for democrat voters.
General Augusto Pinochet was right about how to deal with communist freaks.
It takes a lot of work for the Deep State/Intelligence Community to sustain their deniability of obvious evidence of government misdeeds, both Federal and state, during the past 17 years. The FBI, the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the EPA, the FCC, the USDA, the Department of Energy, the Department of State, even the Federal judiciary — all of these agencies put enormous effort into their claims of deniability over every thing under their purview, ever since Inauguration Day for Barack Obama.
Nobody could possibly be so abysmally stupid and ignorant of what they are charged with knowing and taking action on. Recent revelations about the so-called pipe bomber of January 5, 2021, suggesting she was a known Capitol Police officer who is now safely snuggled into the CIA, have remained deeply buried in the bowels of the FBI and the CIA since spring 2021.
Weaponized FISA Court corruption and violation of the law was allowed to grow beyond belief and destroy all credibility of the Federal judiciary, and absolutely nothing has been done to clean it up [that I have seen]. Election integrity issues since 2020 are obvious in a dozen states. The blatant criminality of the Obama DOJ under Criminal General Eric Holder have been denied at great effort for all these years.
The entire January 6 fiasco has been hidden and obstructed continuously since the Biden Department of Justice and the Democrat Congressional committee began destroying citizens’ lives over “offenses” which had no factual or legal basis. With crucial evidence now destroyed, nobody knows nothin’ about nothin’.
Anybody who has expectations that these Deep State/Intelligence Community agencies will suddenly come clean, now that President Trump has appointed his cabinet officers, is in a dream world. The Leviathan is just too big, too deep, too powerful, too entrenched, too resistant to outside forces, ever to be reformed from the outside. There is a century’s worth of corruption, deceit, criminal behavior, and guilt that can probably never be unearthed.
Slay the dragon, or live with him forever.

And there, folks is the face of full on demonic possession.
Yes. Keep ‘em talking! In fact, give ‘em a megaphone!
When I first heard about these furry freaks I thought they were modern day eccentrics. An offshoot of cosplaying comic and gamer nerds. Clearly they are far more sinister. More of a subset of the alphabet people.

This is why I cut Patel & Bondi a lot of slack for not getting things done more quickly. They’re fighting their own bureaucracy & it will take time to push investigations thru & get rid of the stumbling blocks.
I remember at one time I had a hunting license for people like him. It was like an elk tag. It was good for only a certain region and a certain period of time, but at least there was no bag limit. Sometimes I wish a new one would show up in the mail.
Oh, for the love of Christ. I’ve had the misfortune of meeting a lot of furries and have yet to meet one who wouldn’t be better off in a locked ward instead of a costume. These people seem to take pride in being revolting to normal people in every possible way. To give just one example, they typically *stink*. Like they know what soap is, but never touch the stuff.
Given that, it looks like this clown Smeltzer will be the next Democratic congressman from the sorry state of Michigan.
