Bernie knew.
They all knew and didn’t care as long as his poll number were thru the roof..............
Apparently the Nazi is holding out on resigning, demanding that he gets to name/approve any replacement to ensure they have that right mix of Jew-hatred and left-wing lunacy. Only agree Graham after next Tuesday!
She said he was drunk (or stoned or both)... And then claimed he could not remember anything the next morning.
In my younger days in the Marines I have been drunker than a skunk but I never was so drunk I could not remember anything............
Paging Kamala Harris. Paging Kamala Harris. Please pick up the last minute candidate phone in the lobby.
I loath this hypocrite. To bad those Chicago cops didn’t curb stomp him just a bit harder back in 1963.
Then, some woman no one knows, goes on TV, and claims, without evidence, that she was sexually assaulted by whats-his-name, and now, whats-his-name has to withdraw?
Wow!
The Democrats are the most corrupt major political party in the last 250 years!
> Bernie knew. <
And what’s worse, Bernie and Platner are kindred spirits. Here’s an article discussing how Bernie wrote about rape fantasies.

But hey, it’s Bernie. Bernie always gets a pass.
EXACTLY! They are trying to show some sort of “virtue” when they know this guy was plummeting in the polls. If these allegations were coming out and he was up 20 points, they would not care less about them.
“In light of these very serious poll stats, I have recommended that he step aside.”
LOL LOL they got what they wanted..and then they found out that Platner cant beat Collins so they called on this woman accuser “now is the time, go spread the message to CNN” even though a month ago in the NYT story she NEVER mentioned being raped, she waited, they ALL waited til the time was right..when they knew he cant win
If he makes it to the Senate, he'll be among his own kind.
Platner is negotiating like the mullahs in Iran..he sure is a man of the people isnt he, instead of letting the voters decide who their nominee should be he wants to hand pick it for them, typical commie, doing it like what the Biden regime did in 2024
Did the Democrats give him another vacation home for this action, too?
Its possible he was so stoned and drunk out of his mind he legit does NOT remember..heck a month ago this woman apparently didnt remember either otherwise she would have mentioned it to the Slimes, which she didnt, instead she said he made her feel “Uneasy” never mentioned a peep about rape, she held on to that lil tidbit til the Dems told her its time to release it
Bernie sanders and Mitch McConnell....Graham Plattner...Talarico...Massie.... isn’t there a fibometer or a griftometer or a corruptometer for these kinda’ people?
Is there a fact check organization for news reporting that’s ON all the time? Not just for rumors, or big issues..but for everything?
The leftists are going to use this method to install who they really want as a candidate, but was so bad that they couldn’t get past the primary.
Does it seem odd to anyone else that there isn’t a single Platner story posted in “Breaking”?
