On Monday, a woman dropped some big allegations on Graham Platner, the Democratic nominee for the Senate in Maine.
Jenny Racicot accused Platner of raping her in 2021, according to a story Politico broke. Platner is denying the allegations.
This has already prompted some of Platner's biggest supporters to desert him. Rep. Ro Khanna (CA-17) has withdrawn his endorsement, saying accusations of "violence" were a red line for him. Of course, there had already been allegations of violence with Lyndsey Fifield's accusations, but that didn't stop Khanna previously.
Now, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) Chairwoman Kirsten Gillibrand have called on Graham Platner to “immediately withdraw."
“The allegations reported today are incredibly disturbing – violence, abuse and sexual assault are absolutely unacceptable,” the New York Democrats said in a statement released by the DSCC. [....]
The senators warned that Senate Democrats’ campaign and fundraising arm “will not invest in the Maine Senate race if Platner remains on the ballot.”
So Platner wouldn't have money if he stayed in. Just a little effort to assist in his "reflection" on whether to drop out.
The Maine Democratic Party Leadership also pulled its support, along with End Citizens United, Semafor congressional bureau chief Burgess Everett reported on X.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who had said Platner was "her kind of man," also pulled her support and called on him to step aside.
Sen. Warren has seen enough:
“Now more than ever we need leaders in Washington who reflect our values. There can be no tolerance for sexual assault. Working families are counting on Democrats to win the Senate election in Maine to unrig our economy and hold Donald Trump accountable. With so much at stake, the best path forward is for Graham Platner to step aside as the Democratic nominee and address these serious allegations outside this Senate race"
On top of that, the accuser, Jenny Racicot, did an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, and gave further details of the alleged rape. Tapper shot down the Platner team's claim that the story was a result of "out-of-state operatives." He said he called her because she was mentioned in the earlier NY Times story about Platner that came out in June. She said she had been hesitant to come forward because of the intrusion on her privacy.
Racicot explained it was a big moral conflict for her because she supported positions he held, but obviously had issues with him as a person. This wasn't long ago; it was just five years ago.
She said she had told him no, she didn't want him to come over, but he did anyway, entering her house, which was unlocked. He had intentions with her, was heavily intoxicated, and wasn't listening when she said "no." There was a struggle, and a sewing kit was knocked over. She said she was concerned for her own safety, but told him not to touch her. While she normally would use protection, she explained that he did not here.
Platner didn't seem to recall what had happened, she asserted, and she told him he had to leave and she never wanted to talk to him again.
It was "absolutely" rape, she charged.

I believe she dated him for two years?
She’s the Democrat operation to take him out after ignoring all his previous horrors.
Don't let them distance themselves now. These shit heads knew Platner was scum the whole time and made excuses for him.
Who could have possibly imagined that a dude with a nazi tattoo on his chest would have a history of poor life choices? Not the DNC. This was a shocking revelation. Shocking I say. This is my shocked face.
The democrats are so desperate to get a straight white male figurehead to distance themselves from the stink of failure that is the Kamala era DEI/Box Wine Cat Lady Party, that if you look even sorta like a traditional man they'll run you for office.
Except the democrats are so fundamentally opposed to traditional, working class masculinity all they can scrape up is closeted weirdos like Walz or Talarico, and psychopath prep schoolers like Platner. Then they try to cosplay as normal, but since they're democrats, normal is impossible for them.
Again the Democrats pull the candidate their people voted for in a primary, and replace him with someone they didn’t. Second time.
How incompetent do you have to be to field such a candidate?
They do no vetting apparently......................
If Ro Khanna has withdrawn his endorsement, this had to be a total shitstorm, and it is not about a mere lustful series of interludes. Graham Platner may be considering taking up residence in another country, say some deep jungle somewhere.
Where, if he is fortunate, he shall be eaten by cannibals.
Interestingly, MTG has doubled down on her endorsement of this dirtbag.
The oyster boat is taking on water and slowly sinking into Penobscot Bay.
Oh democrats are just trying to submarine him because they are afraid he might lose them that seat so time to get rid of him and slip someone else in
Of course the Dem elites have met and decided on a focus group approved replacement like they did with Biden-—weeks ago.
Then instructed this woman to go on interview shows to get the turmoil going just in time with a deadline for the new face coming soon this month.
They have 7 days...................

Accuser: “First I’m endangered and assaulted by a womanizer drunk maniac Platner and now I have to look at your ugly face, Tapper. Enough is enough.”
Amusing incompetence of the Democrat Commie Machine.
Avowed Nazi = ok
Misoginist = ok
Avowed communist = ok
More accusations of sexual impropriety = ok
Nazi tatoo = ok
Unproven accusation of sexual assault = NOT OKAY, BAD BAD BAD YOU MUST GO!
This almost late take down of the Nazi crazy man by this woman means there is worse stuff to come out that is probably true.
>> How incompetent do you have to be to field such a candidate?
You simply have to be pretty damn confident in the leftist idea of “gain power at ANY cost”.
But it backfired. The cognitive dissonance took ‘em out.
IOW, “They’re eFFFFFFFFed.” This is not a nuanced thing!
Lololol, can someone make list of prominent dims and on tv fellating this guy?
Doesn’t the candidate himself have to agree to drop out? If this guy refuses are they not stuck with him? Probably more stuff coming out if this guy refuses to leave.
