I honestly never expected to hear Chuck Schumer announce that he and the rest of the official Democratic Party apparatus would hereby spend millions of dollars to elect a man with a literal Nazi tattoo on his body and a trail of Hamas fandom on his Internet history.
But perhaps that’s on me—my expectations were too high.
Because that’s what happened today. Graham Platner, a man who makes excuses for political violence, obsesses about the Jews and their supposed nefarious influence on public life, and who according to acquaintances and former employees laughed and bragged about his Nazi tattoo for years, has the full weight of the the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee behind him, as well as the pledged loyalty of the party’s Senate floor leader, who is Jewish.
“After years of allowing Trump’s abuses of power, Senator Collins has never been more vulnerable and we will work with the presumptive Democratic nominee Graham Platner to defeat her,” the Democratic leadership said in a statement after Platner’s only competition for the Democratic nomination, the well-liked moderate governor Janet Mills, suspended her campaign.
Susan Collins, the incumbent, is the very definition of a moderate Republican. Collins isn’t making Schumer back the Nazi Tattoo Guy; Collins is, in fact, a great excuse not to back the Nazi Tattoo Guy. Not that Chuck Schumer should need an excuse to decline to back Platner. This one’s easy.
