Graham Platner postpones multiple events this week (Dropping OUT?)

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner has postponed a string of events Sunday and Monday as rumors circulate among Maine Democrats and over social media about another potentially damaging story to come about the oyster farmer’s past.

Platner postponed a planned town hall in Augusta on Sunday after reportedly missing a Fourth of July parade in Machias. The Gorham Democrats on Monday morning said a town hall set for Monday was postponed because Platner was “not feeling well.” And a Sanford town hall previously listed on Mobilize was later taken down.

The Platner campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the events. The postponements came as multiple Democrats told the Bangor Daily News they expected a national outlet to drop a story about Platner Monday or Tuesday. Rumors about potentially damaging stories on the progressive candidate increasingly swirled online Sunday night and Monday, just as they did before the New York Times published a story last month featuring a few ex-girlfriends of Platner’s alleging toxic behavior. He denied ever being physically violent in a relationship.

WOW! If he does drop out that means they must have found something really DAMNING about him.

[rdl6989]

All kinds of rumors on X right now about him dropping out. Whatever this scandal is, it must be really bad.

[PJ-Comix]

I’m guessing maybe because of a Swastika tattoo on his tush. And we didn’t find out before because he hasn’t mooned anybody recently.

prediction: another democratic party hand selected candidate to come in and save the day.....

A couple weeks ago, JFK’s nephew, Schlossberg, cancelled some events so he could take a nap.

What a bunch of delicate doilies the RAT party has. Sheesh.

It may be that simple.

[Maine Mariner]

Agreed. Up to now his supporters have not cared about any negative stories. The new ones must be devasting.

Eric Swalwell?

Yes! He ripped off a mattress tag that said "Do not remove under penalty of the law."

I remember as a kid ripping off a few of those mattress tags in our home and getting a vicarious thrill of breaking the law.

[Merrick]

You didn’t break the law. It says they can’t be removed BEFORE they are sold, because it’s consumer product information. After sale it doesn’t matter.

[Maine Mariner]

The statute of limitations has run out. Good thing, some here might turn you in for the reward money! :)

You’d think that having a Nazi tattoo would be damning enough. Not to the Democrats. I’m guessing that in the past he tweeted that he liked Trump, who, according to the Democrats, is worse than Hitler.

[Merrick]

Is it illegal to rip tags off mattresses?

It is not illegal for consumers to remove mattress tags after purchasing the item. The warning "Under Penalty of Law" applies exclusively to manufacturers, retailers, and distributors, who are prohibited by the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act from removing or mutilating the tags before the product is sold to the ultimate consumer.

This federal law was established to prevent sellers from concealing the materials inside mattresses, which historically included unsanitary or recycled substances. Removing the tag after purchase carries no criminal penalty, but it may void the manufacturer's warranty and prevent the mattress from being resold legally in many jurisdictions.

[PJ-Comix]

STOP! STOP! I CONFESS! I RIPPED OFF MATTRESS TAGS! PLEASE LET THE BOY PJ BELIEVE HE ENGAGED IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY! WHY MUST YOU DESTROY HIS ILLUSIONS?

Goodbye Graham, hello Grace?
