Michigan progressive Abdul El-Sayed told MS NOW on Tuesday that Graham Platner should end his bid for Maine’s U.S. Senate seat after a woman accused Platner of sexual assault.
His remarks came after El-Sayed, who is running for Michigan’s Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, failed to explicitly say Platner should leave the race in a social media post after the story broke. That perceived vagueness drew criticism from his major Democratic rival in the race, Rep. Haley Stevens.
El-Sayed, like Platner, has had the support of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in a pair of races that are critical to whether Democrats have a reasonable chance at taking back control of the Senate this fall.
After reporting from Politico on Monday detailed at length the woman’s allegation, which Platner has denied, El-Sayed posted on social media: “Credible allegations of sexual assault cannot be ignored. Voters in Maine deserve a choice for US Senate that doesn’t force them to make a moral compromise between sexual violence or corporate servitude.”
His statement stopped short of the explicit calls from other Democrats for Platner to leave the race. Before El-Sayed weighed in, Stevens said on X that “there should be no room for this conduct in the U.S. Senate or any public office. Graham Platner must step aside.”

I say Platner should stay in.
Uh-oh. A schism in the Islamo-Nazi Axis?
Cripes, bunch of chirping magpies we never heard of popping up everywhere.
Hey Abdul. STFU!
Gee whats the problem, Platner is just practicing Sharia Law, isnt that what they teach, that its OK to have sex with women, anytime, any place, no questions asked..Platner should just announce he is a practicing Muslim
For Democrats, the only unforgivable sin is getting caught.
Platne's a drunk, rapist with a Nazi tattoo, runs an oyster business and his ONLY customer is his mother, he's a compulsive liar and a communist.
How did Abdul El-Sayed ever figure this one out?
For Democrats, the only unforgivable sin is getting caught.
That, and being behind in the polls.
It’s getting pretty bad when a raghead terrorist doesn’t want a Socialist NAZI in the Socialist DemonRAT Party of death.
He’s a commie nazi. Could be hard to replace.
Abdul, How Could You!
This is the same method they used to kick Eric Swalwell to the curb in the Democrat primary for governor in California. They could forgive him for being a Nazi but oh being accused of assault is another matter.
We all know it’s because Platner is tanking in the polls and his baggage is becoming toxic to their chances of defeating Susan Collins! As if the party of JFK and Bubba truly cares about the mistreatment of women until it can be used for political leverage!

Agree but we know it is a setup timed to get a focus group approved popular vote getter on the ballot.
Then “Let’s move on. Platner is no longer on the ballot, X is and my earlier remarks were before the final scandal so let’s forget about it.”
One of the Mayflower El-Sayeds ?
The fact a leftist Islamicist could possibly win in my state of Michigan is extremely triggering to me. After that fat sow Alyssa Slotkin who encouraged service people to refuse to follow orders with which they disagreed won here.
But after 9/11 and a war against Saddam Hussein, the American people elected a one term freshman Senator as President whose middle name was Hussein, so anything goes.
Maybe a Constitutional Amendment soon that only foreign born candidates can run for US President to make up for the US born ones having an unfair advantage up to that date. Reparations.
I came over to this article to say exactly what you just said word for word and you beat me to it!
