Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner's scandal-plagued rise is causing rifts within the Democratic Party, and several Democratic strategists who spoke to Fox News Digital warned of the long-term implications of the party embracing him.
"Anyone paying attention to the intersection of culture and politics knows that my party pushed #MeToo well beyond the bounds of common sense long before Graham Platner's rise," Michael LaRosa, former press secretary to first lady Jill Biden, said about whether the #MeToo movement rings hollow within the party now that top Democrats have rallied behind Platner.
"But the reflexive partisan instinct to circle the wagons around him is the political equivalent of pulling the plug on whatever credibility Democrats had left as the self-appointed champions of women."
"If the standards disappear the moment they're politically inconvenient, they were never standards at all."
Former adviser to President Bill Clinton and Democratic strategist Doug Schoen argued that Democrats are choosing power and Senate control over serious concerns about Platner's past, and that could hurt them in 2028.
"In the short term, for some Democrats, those on the progressive left, it's the right decision, a practical decision," Schoen said. "To me, it's a very sad one and certainly undermines the moral legitimacy of the Democratic Party as a whole."

Whqt a joke that anyone still even pretends the Democrats ever had moral legitimacy.
Nothing matters except the abortion religion.
“Whqt a joke that anyone still even pretends the Democrats ever had moral legitimacy.”
Even the RATs themselves no longer are pretending.
To be a good Democrat all you have to do is vote the party line. Platner will do as he’s told so in the party’s eyes he is the perfect candidate and will receive 100% backing. No morals required - just a warm body to vote as he/she is told.
Liberals have GOALS.
Collins will turn Platner inti a smash burger and serve him up to the so called moderate wing of the Dem party.
THey run ashaoles like this guy and then watch them crash and birn, cranking up the TDS even further?
Buahahahahahahahaha!
Socialist bastids simply want to ruin the nation. It will not go well for them.
Maine has RCV for a reason.
