New explosive allegation rocks Platner campaign still reeling from rape accusation
FoxNews ^

Posted on 07/07/2026 5:49:26 PM PDT by matt04

Embattled U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner was hit with a second explosive allegation of sexual impropriety only about 24 hours after he was accused of rape — all while a major campaign decision deadline looms.

In a new report published by The Washington Post, the candidate from Maine was accused of removing condoms during sex with his ex-girlfriend Lyndsey Fifield after she explicitly directed him to wear them.

"He would pull condoms off," she told The Washington Post. "He would do it in a sneaky way. He wouldn’t tell me."

Fifield, 41, previously accused Platner of physical misconduct during their relationship, saying that he sometimes grabbed her hard enough to leave marks on her body, and that one time he twisted her arm around her back, pushed her into a bedroom and held the door shut until she "calmed down."

Those concerns were largely dismissed by Platner's supporters, who characterized Fifield, who used to work at The Heritage Foundation, of being a conservative operative.

"I confronted him both during and after [sex] because he knew that I was not on birth control and how dangerous that was," she told The Post, who said that Fifield made the allegations in a previous interview with the outlet, but strictly off the record.

Internal polling in Maine must be pretty bad for Democrats to order the Code Red on Platner.

You hit the nail on the head. This is nothing more, nothing less. This is what the dems do. Finger in the air....candidate can’t win? Replace them. The end always justifies the means with these anti American pieces of crap.

I have said since before he won the nomination that the Dems were going to find a way to “Torricelli” him out of the race. Looks like they have found their way !

Yep, maybe that is why Elizabeth Warren stated, “He is my kind of man”.

Hey, I don’t see what the big deal is. He is just living up to the high Democrat standards of Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton.

She ought to be glad she didn’t get stuck in the backseat of a car down on Cape Cod, or asked to be a human humidor.

The democrats could care the less what accusations face this guy. They only care that he fell behind in the polls. Now he gets the Biden treatment, Swallwell style.

Yeah. Didn't we already learn too much when we heard about his non-procreative sex in all the portable toilets?

When I was in high school back in the 1970’s they showed us films in health class and in one of them some guy said wearing a condom was like:

“Taking a shower with your raincoat on”

The drip drip of this Platner thing is just as funny as that guy in the old sex ed film.
