California Rep. Ro Khanna once again admitted that he believes the women who have accused Maine Democrat Graham Platner of being physically rough with or mistreating them — but is standing by him nonetheless.
Khanna (D-Calif.), who was an early backer of Platner, contended that the oyster farmer had redemption and underscored his goal of ensuring Democrats flip Maine’s Senate seat.
“I do believe those women. And I have said that his past conduct was shameful, and I totally condemned it,” Khanna told “Fox News Sunday.”
“He did two, three tours of duty in Iraq. He came back with PTSD,” the lawmaker continued.
“That’s not an excuse, but he said that he had a problem with alcohol. He had an ugly period in his life. And he believes that he has transformed, and he’s had redemption.”
While Khanna claims he believes Platner’s accusers, the candidate himself has denied some of their key claims, particularly the part about him being physically rough, though he has copped to being a bad boyfriend in the past.
Numerous women have come forward about their past experiences with him. One of them, Lyndsey Fifield, claimed that Platner was physical with her.
On one occasion, she alleged he yanked her out of a cab by the wrists and at another point twisted her arm behind her back before locking her in a room.
Platner denied those accusations and argued they were “politically motivated,” given that she had been a GOP operative.

Yep.
So its OK to beat women as long as you have PTSD am I right Ro Khanna..and its OK to laugh at a 15 yr old girl online who tried to kill herself and say “Someone didnt try hard enough” and claim that was due to PTSD am I right..its just so cute seeing these commies bend themselves into a pretzel defending this schmuck
will they still be able to call our side “fascist, racist”?
He’s just a vote to them.........
He may be a Totenkopf SS, but he is OUR Totenkopf SS.
Fits like a glove in The Party Of Hate, The Party Of Death, democRAT / DemoKKKrat.
Democrat voters are the same people who wire money to Nigerian princes.
Ro supports a miscreant as long as he has the chance of tipping power to Ro’s side, and the negative experiences of a few women pales in importance to that. Of course, the case could be made that a Senator Platner wouldn’t be the only miscreant in that august body.
The slack these people cut his guy is amusing when compared to the vitriol and hatred the same people spew at Trump for restoring the reflecting pool.
Yep.
Ro should have run for governor; his hypocrisy is easier to categorize than some of the others.
That’s a good idea. Plus, only California, and not the whole country, would be stuck with him if he were governor.
And his “redemption” is self professed. No doctor’s claim of healing, only the perp’s word. Khana’s review is cursory and based on political gain only.
Did Ro Kanna give Kavanaugh the same benefit of the doubt or was he beating the drum to deny his USSC nomination? Hypocrisy at its finest.
And if it were President Trump......
Right Justice Kavanaugh?
“He’s just a vote to them...”
And he shouldn’t be. Anyone for any reason that undertakes dangerous behavior shouldn’t be elected to public office for any reason. Placing people without constraint to make decisions in the best interest of the public to include safety and security needs when they are not held responsible for the byproduct of the failing decisions, especially medically, should not be in a position of power like this. We just had a POTUS end his term in this situation and he was dangerous.

“Believe all women!”
When it’s politically expedient.
Well yeah! He has all the perv ‘attributes’ dems appreciate. He’ll get a boost when he exits the closet.
Yeah, right. As if.
