Now they turn on Nazi-tattooed alleged rapist Graham Platner?
After all these months of defending him and making excuses — knowing full well what a repugnant dirtbag he is?
Let’s be honest: At this late date, the accusation that Platner raped an ex-girlfriend should shock absolutely no one. And that it took so long for Dems to cut him off speaks volumes.
Indeed, the only reason they’re deserting him now is not that they’ve finally grown a moral spine; it’s that they fear his grotesque character won’t fly with normal voters.
Not only would a continued Platner campaign for Maine’s US Senate seat almost certainly fail; voters nationwide may now realize that Democrats are morally bankrupt — that they stand for nothing, except the acquisition of raw political power by any means.
Heck, it’s not even clear the rape allegation was the reason for Dems’ switch — rather than the excuse for it.
After all, polls had recently tightened, with both Platner and his GOP rival, Sen. Susan Collins, virtually tied.
And Platner, one recent poll showed, was trailing Collins by a whopping 21 points among the very people he pretends to champion: working folks, specifically those who lack four-year college degrees.
Yet, until the rape allegation, Dems lined up squarely by him.
He’s “my kind of man,” gushed Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.).

Will he be given a chance to defend himself, have access to a fair, impartial process and legal counsel, and allowed to confront his accusers, etc.?
Swalwell was expertly and efficiently 86’d as a problem so better vote getters could take over. Same with this POS.
Replacement will look spectacular and people will say “Who was Platner?”
How many Swalwell stories are in even a month’s news cycle?
No. This is America.
Accused rapist Graham Platner spotted at Maine home as he holds Dem party hostage
Come on. You gotta be more specific. What seats do the Platner problems put in play? Probably none. Is that muslim in Michogan gonna give that senate seat to us? What about the sure loss in Carolina where gov. Cooper is ahead? He’ll be sure to vote with the communists but is that fact big enough?
I wonder how much money was paid by opposition researchers to the women to get their sex crimes accusations. Just askin...
Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, etc.
His only crime, according to the dems is they fear he is unelectable.
But to Elizabeth Warren I say, have no fear and

The Platner saga has convinced me that all democrat politicians are just whores who will do anything for power. There is NO honor among them.
I was trying to hold out faith that there were still some who represented the Party my father respected in the 40s and 50s; but Fetterman seems to be the only decent one we’ve heard from on this issue.
It’s profoundly true that this is ‘not your father’s democrat (I can’t even capitalize it) party.’
In the article, it says Platner “vehemently” denies the allegations.
In the woman’s statement, she said that the next morning, when she asked him if he remembered what he did the previous evening, he said “No.”
Interesting. She has documentation in the form of texts/emails to her acquaintances at the time detailing the incident to them, or so says Vince Coglianese, a podcaster who filled in for Dan Bongino.
That is also what Politico and other sources have stated.
Repost…but worth it.
Just to summarize Platner’s scandals that Democrats were totally ok with:

Just to summarize Platner’s scandals that Democrats were totally ok with:
- nazi tattoo
- lied repeatedly about nazi tattoo
- said he would rape people
- sexted with women while married
- bragged about drawing penises in porta potties
- praised islamic terrorists
- said he’s a communist
- joined an app known to be used by predators to contact minors
- sexual assault allegations
But now they decided it’s too much. All the above was totally fine though
No problem.
No voter input needed.
The democrats will just replace him with kamala.
MS NOW’s Mika Brzezinski presses Politico journo on bombshell Graham Platner rape report: ‘Is there evidence?’
He’s putrid. But a lot of our politicians have decided that only power matters, and that polishing such a turd is the way to win.
A problem for the entire Democratic party?
The Party doesn’t care, “seats” in Congress is all that matters to them.
Their voters are lemmings with blinders on.
No matter how much you think you hate the Demoncraps, you don’t hate them nearly enough.
He trained members of Antifa how to shoot in the Maine woods.
