Graham Platner Mocked Teen’s Unsuccessful Suicide Attempt in Resurfaced Reddit Post

Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner is under fresh scrutiny after a resurfaced Reddit post appeared to show him mocking a teenage girl’s suicide attempt.

The post from May 2012, obtained by The New York Post, featured a photograph of a teenage girl hanging from an upper-story window while several students attempted to pull her to safety.

“A girl at my old highschool [sic] tried jumping from a window because her cousin died the day before,” the caption read. “These students saved her. I have hope.”

According to screenshots circulating online, an account identified as “P-Hustle” responded with the comment: “Someone clearly isn’t trying hard enough.”

The resurfaced post is the latest in a growing series of controversies surrounding the Maine Democrat, who recently won his primary election.

Other archived Reddit comments attributed to Platner have drawn criticism in recent weeks.

These have included posts in which he allegedly mocked a wounded Purple Heart recipient, praised a Hamas attack on Israeli soldiers and made graphic comments about his personal behavior.

In one 2019 comment discussing combat footage involving decorated Army veteran Pfc. Ted Daniels, who survived being shot multiple times by Taliban fighters, Platner wrote: “Dumb motherf–ker didn’t deserve to live.”

In another post from 2014, Platner appeared to praise a Hamas operation against Israeli troops, writing: “Looks like an all around well executed and successful small unit raid to me.”

The revelations come as Platner continues to face questions surrounding a tattoo linked to the Nazi SS Totenkopf symbol.

Platner has insisted he was unaware of the tattoo’s historical significance until October 2025, shortly before launching his Senate campaign.

The candidate has also faced allegations from a former girlfriend, who accused him of physically aggressive behavior during their relationship. Platner has previously denied those claims.

He will face off against longtime incumbent Republican Susan Collins in November, with polls indicating he holds around a six point lead over his opponent.

Not to worry - the DNC will have one of their best scribes write an excuse that will have pearl clutchers crying. It'll be focus group tested and filled with stuff the pig would never say or think.

And the democrats butt boys in the press? They'll buy tor hardly understand. The corrupt press will buy the excuse - hook line and sinker because they're on the take for new political info.

When the coin of the realm is information, that's the form bribes take.

Platner is an excellent representative of what the Democrat party really is and stands for.

Correct.
The only ones who don’t know that is the GOP-e.
Even the MSM knows that.

If they cleaned up elections- democrats would never win congress or POTUS again with candidates like this. The fringe freaks holding this POS up as the future of the party are doomed unless they keep stealing.
