Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner abruptly canceled multiple town hall events as new damaging information is about to be released.

Platner, the scandal-plagued Democrat with a Nazi tattoo, may drop out of the Senate race.

Per The Maine Wire:

Augusta town hall for last night – CANCELED

Gorham town hall tonight – CANCELED

Sanford town hall tonight – CANCELED

Platner went into hiding last month as one scandal after another continued to rock his campaign.

As Platner was hiding from the press, The New York Times dropped a nasty hit piece on him.

The New York Times dropped a devastating report with disturbing claims from Graham Platner’s ex-girlfriends.

One ex-girlfriend claimed Platner locked her in a room and forcefully grabbed her.

Oh I think the people behind driving Platner out had this time line all planned out. The fact that he has cancelled all the town halls, suggest he is having meeting with his inner circle and trying to salvage his campaign.
He has a group of hard core supporters that will support him no matter what. He opened an office in Ellsworth, Maine in very early spring.

Again, doesn’t matter if there’s a (D) on the end of his name.

We know that the rats are power hungry and will do most anything to gain and hold power. Still, because they haven’t gotten around, yet, to packing the Supreme Court and giving statehood to DC and PR, I think their support of the Platner candidacy is the most depraved action by them that I’ve seen

My bet is even a dead girl or a live boy would not be enought to get him to drop out.

It means he’s trying to figure out if he can find the money he needs to get it covered up. These are all Democrats we’re talking about.

“What I’ve long predicted is news that he has a bent one for little boys. It wouldn’t surprise me.”

Most people who have to deal with home invaders just shoot them; forcibly sodomizing one goes a bit far. If he thinks that way, little boys are a short step away.

Yep, I remember that. The court ruled that even though the deadline for replacing a candidate had passed, it wouldn't be fair if the Dems didn't have a candidate on the ballot, so they suspended state law and allowed former senator Lautenburg to replace Torricelli, who then went on to win in November to retain the seat for the Dems.

Utterly corrupt court and a clear indication going forward there are judges who will place their D party above the law.

Maybe they can dig up Lautenberg from NJ.

Collins was probably going to win, anyways. She’s close on polling and overperforms polling by 10 points election after election after election. And everyone knows that.

That makes sense. But if the stories are really bad for him, the money walks away.

Just like Harris

No vote for her.

Platner is the best candidate.

“What could it be, if not a lot more of the same physical abuse allegations?”

If more physical and sexual abuse of women, more Nazi tattoos, etc. won’t serve, how about child molestation, murder, cannibalism, and/or the guy who is running is not really Graham Platner...

Absolutely true - so I suspect he’s done - but that’s what’s going on now. Whom can he buy off and for how much.

I don’t often trust the Gateway Pundit; but who did NOT see that more ugly stuff about this guy would drop?

He’s made of really bad stuff.
