Graham Platner, the Democratic U.S. Senate nominee from Sullivan, wrote about his involvement with the Socialist Rifle Association using the Reddit handle P-Hustle.

Last October, The Robinson Report broke the story that Graham Platner — the disabled Sullivan veteran with an oyster hobby who is now the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate — had personally instructed members of the Socialist Rifle Association in firearms training in Maine.
Now, two additional accounts — both from self-described left-wingers — have surfaced that confirm Platner’s top role in the Maine chapter of firearms and political activism org.
The reporting previously rested on Platner’s own words, as well as pictures from an official Socialist Rifle Association (SRA) social media account that appeared to show Platner serving as a range officer for the group’s training sessions.
On X, the far left gun club posted images from multiple training sessions showcasing members with blurred faces and an arsenal of firearms. The SRA blurs faces in the photographs, but some were insufficiently blurred — including a red-haired, red-bearded man matching Platner.
The SRA also distributed material on how to subvert law enforcement surveillance of mobile phones and use “burner” phones.
Eight months later, two new accounts corroborate the original reporting from opposite directions — one a grateful student, one a former Tinder fling who posted in alarm of a man with a Nazi tattoo who’d started a gun club in coastal Maine.
The new information confirms that Platner was not just member of the organization, but that he held a leadership role in the firearms training group.
Last week, a poster on r/portlandme published an open letter of thanks titled “Graham Platner Taught Me How To Shoot A Handgun.”
“Flashy title, I know,” the post opens. The author describes being one of a number of “afraid queer folks” who sought self-defense training in 2020, and identifies Platner by name and role: “Graham was the officer, largely in charge, of the Maine branch of the SRA (Socialist Rifle Association).”
The second account is the more significant of the two — because it is documented and time-stamped.
A left-wing streamer / cannabis-enjoyer using the X handle @420mercymain69 came forward the day after Platner clinched the nomination, alleging she met him on Tinder in February 2021 and dated him through mid-July of that year.

She publicly shared screenshots of private messages — including texts to her own mother — describing Platner’s chest tattoo as a “Nazi tattoo,” along with a lengthy statement posted to X. The messages are dated September 26, 2025: before the Totenkopf became public knowledge but after Platner was making national headlines as a rising Democrat star. The messages were also sent before Platner went on Pod Save America and falsely claimed that he had no idea the tattoo was anything other than a scary skull.
The X user says Platner told her he knew the tattoo was connected to Nazi death camps but that he kept it deliberately, “as a reminder that the United States was the evil, bad guy overseas.”
That is a materially different story than the one Platner has told the public — that he picked a skull off a wall in Croatia and never understood its meaning. The woman’s account would add to the growing number of Democrats, including a close personal friend of Platner’s, who’ve confirmed that he has misled the public about his Nazi tattoo.
In other words, a private citizen with no political motive recorded Platner’s self-knowledge of his tattoo’s incontestable Nazi origins — as well as his prominent role in the Maine SRA.
In a 2021 post from the same X account, the user bemoaned “toxic men in leftist spaces” and referred to a guy who “started an SRA chapter,” adding, “omg I think he’s a secret nazi I’m freaking out.”
The woman also alleges that Platner stole her pie dish.

Every time another detail emerges about the lovely Maine democRAT candidate, the private reactions of the democRATs/DemoKKKrats is “hell, yes!”
The Party of Hate and The Party Of Death are in complete agreement with:
Hate Jews
Hate America
Hate freedom
Hate free enterprise
It is worthless and useless to to even point this out anymore.
We aren’t going to vote for him...and the people who do, every damned one of them, would vote in a guy like the Attorney General in the State of Virginia (Jay Jones) who stated that he would like to viciously murder his political opponent in in front of his family.
A Nazi insurrectionist and serial abuser isn’t going to even make those people on the left blink when they pull the lever.

Exactly. 71 million people voted for Kamala, this is nothing.
