All the broadcast network evening newscasts covered the serious rape allegation lodged against Maine’s Democrat Senate nominee Graham Platner, underscoring that Platner is considering discontinuing his campaign, the Maine Democratic Party wants him to step down, and several Democrats in Congress rescinded their endorsements.
All this (and the coverage) signals that Democrats collectively think this will make Platner lose and he needs to step aside. It could be compared to the networks covering the internal Democrat debate after the Biden debate fiasco in 2024.
None of the stories featured any Republican reaction or even voter reaction. None of the stories underlined that the accuser, Jenna Racicot, was mostly overlooked in a May New York Times story in favor of Republican ex-girlfriend Lyndsey Fifield, who was dismissed as having partisan motivations – unlike Racicot, who shares Platner’s leftist politics.

The Maoist wing of the Rat Party (IOW,the leadership of the Party) is starting to catch on that despite the fact that they adore this scumbag he just can’t win. So they’re preparing to replace him.
Aw gee...and he was the perfect democrat...
And don’t forget Clarence Thomas
Who are they going to run? In Maine? Someone better?
Heck, the Republican from Maine is a Democrat anyway
From April:
“While I have the drive and passion, commitment and experience, and above all else – the fight – to continue on, I very simply do not have the one thing that political campaigns unfortunately require today: the financial resources...That is why today I have made the incredibly difficult decision to suspend my campaign for the United States Senate.”
Speaking of bad Democrat candidate choices.....

Busted In Alabama For Drug Possession”
CNN semi (or fully) coordinated this interview with the Democrats.
They’ve known for a long time he was a creep, a fake, a kook, and a non-stop liar. They stuck to him anyways because they believed he was their best shot at taking out Susan Collins. They counted on the fake news to cover up for his massive flaws, just the same as its done so many times before.
They only abandoned him after his started sliding in the polls. His flaws were to massive to be covered up. The CNN piece was published to give them top cover for withdrawing their endorsements. It’s a lot like the coordination the Dems made to force out Eric Swalwell.
Why do the Dems treat this sex assault different than the other reported ones? Weird.
Of course they are.
They’ve been told to.
Yes but she counts as an R, pretty useless otherwise but we need that seat.
“ Why do the Dems treat this sex assault different than the other reported ones? Weird.”
What other ones?
After all the stuff that has come out about this guy, why would this latest allegation make any difference?
Is the Maine nazi still in it? Could be discrimination if he isn’t.
“ Why do the Dems treat this sex assault different than the other reported ones? Weird.”
You know exactly why. The first major rape accusation was made by a conservative.
