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.

Can we hope for this outcome? Graham Platner is what would be called an “in your face” kind of candidate, one so thoroughly BAD and unfit for the office, that no one could figure out how he was chosen in the first place, except for the fact that some dark player here was pushing to make the worst possible choice be forced upon the voters.

In 2014, RCP average had Collins up 61.4/32.2 - actual was 68.5/31.5.

Collins outperformed the polls by 8 points.

In 2020, RCP average had Gideon up by 4 - actual was 51.0/42.4.

Collins outperformed the polls by 13 points.

On what are you basing your prediction today that Mills will beat Collins? You can’t seriously believe polls prove it, can you?

“One of the reasons I didn’t come forward sooner was, the huge moral conflict that I had between supporting his politics, but not supporting him as a person,” she said. “I just want the truth out there. I just want people to have a whole scope of who he is as a person.”

That proves it. Party operation. No other excuse, now. And it means they are getting AHEAD of something worse.

Why would that stop democrats from supporting him? They are absolutely shameless hypocrites.

No not the polls.

There are many who would not have voted for platner who will vote for mills

And Mills will get the fed up with Collins vote from all sides of the aisle.

Conservatives as usual, don’t know when to shut up and let bad opposition candidates through.

“Have the despicable attorneys Gloria Allred, and her daughter Lisa Bloom retired?”

Neither are retired. Lisa Bloom is representing one of Eric Swalwell’s victims. That is one of the cases I hope she savages Swalwell and possibly Ruben Gallego.

Or the other candidate is polling better and they need to ignore the primary election just like Biden.

Oh - I’m not trying to get Platner removed nor am I trying to get Mills in. What did I ever say that could possibly have given you that impression? It’s certainly false.

I’m just calling balls and strikes and throwing out the facts.
