Sen. Bernie Sanders insisted that he has no regrets about his initial stance standing by disgraced oyster farmer Graham Platner despite an avalanche of warning signs.
Sanders (I-Vt.) had been among Platner’s earliest backers, catapulting him to prominence with his endorsement shortly after the oyster farmer jumped in the race for Maine’s Senate seat.
“No, I don’t think so,” Sanders told CBS News’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday when asked about whether he had regrets for not abandoning Platner sooner.
The self-described democratic socialist had stuck with Platner during a string of scandals, defending him after revelations emerged that he made unsavory social media posts, cheated on his wife, got a tattoo of a Nazi symbol — and even when several women accused him of sexual misconduct.
When pressed about those scandals, Sanders often pointed to the outside money being spent against Platner and framed him as a champion of the working class.
After a bombshell Politico story broke earlier this month detailing the rape accusations against him from Jenny Racicot, Sanders waited a day before publicly calling on him to drop out of the race.
“When we heard the serious allegations made against him, I wanted to get on the phone,” Sanders explained. “I wanted to talk to him. I did. I asked, along with virtually all his supporters, that he should get out of the race, and he did.”
Democrats have now anointed former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson as Platner’s replacement nominee to take on incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine).

Symptoms of serious societal sinkage.
Bernie is a sick, old man. He would have been the democrat presidential candidate against Trump in 2016 had Hiliary not stolen it from him through the “superdelegates” fiasco.
Sanders only regret is that Platners sordid perverted history came out too early.
Did you guys see him in the latest hallway interview with a reporter?
He is truly one of the most vile people. Warren has a similar recent interaction too. What a cretin.
The “Bern” serves a useful purpose, me thinks.
“”””Did you guys see him in the latest hallway interview with a reporter?

He preaches socialism, or worse, and is always going after the rich. As he decides which of his three homes to go to.
The Burn needs to be deported back to
Brooklyn.
How do we accomplish that?
A wicked old man with spittle coming out of his rants.
I suspect Bernie regrets nothing at all. He doesn’t regret losing his CA electorates in 2016 stolen by Hillary, he doesn’t regret DNC staff member Seth Rich dead on the street caring more about it than he ever will.
And if he ever has to step over our dead bodies laying in the street due to his communist evil.
He wont regret that either.
Bernie’s been in office for 35 years and his legislative accomplishments include:
1.
2.
3.
Just like all spoiled self entitled lefties.
Like the two faced hypocrite he is.
Lefties don’t admit they’re wrong. BJ didn’t have sex with Monica.
To borrow a line from the old movie Love Story, “love (of Marx/Lenin) means never having to say sorry.” Bernie is such an old, unregenerate hypocrite that he could never bring himself to apologize for any of his stupidities and inhumane ideological theories. Psalm 10:4
Because democrats are idiots, albeit influential and powerful ones.
Satan does, after all, seem to protect his most useful tools.
Did Platner promise lot of free stuff to his followers, like Bernie did?
Platner needs a new neck tattoo: “No Regerts”.
