Democrat denies reports of physical intimidation towards women, saying his past has been ‘weaponized’
The Democratic US senate candidate Graham Platner on Friday predicted that Maine’s voters would support him four days later in his party primary despite a string of controversies – including recent negative headlines about his treatment of women that he said had been “weaponized”.
In a 25-minute speech before supporters in Bar Harbor, the oyster farmer and US marine combat veteran addressed the controversies around his personal conduct, which escalated on Thursday with a New York Times report in which three former romantic partners described disturbing behavior, including being physically intimidated by him.
“When hurtful things I said on the internet a decade ago came out into the public, as I shared my personal journey through PTSD and darkness, of recovery and accountability and growth, Maine had my back,” Platner said at the rally. “Now, as every single piece of that past and journey gets dug up, litigated and weaponized, you have my back.”
The dem leadership and their Israeli buddies are experts at character assassination, knowing how easy it is to play “the left” off of each other, to say nothing of the dem sheep.
Not going to work this time though. This guy’s got crossover appeal.
Bill Clinton was cheating on Hillary while president. He also is heavily tied to Epstein (not like Trump but still tied).
The only reason the Dems are outraged about this is because Planter is both progressive and anti-Israel.
One of the interviews I saw with him recently about this issue ended with the interviewer asking “but these people were all consenting, and all adults, right?”
And platner laughed, realizing, yeah no I’m not a pedophile.
Have the clip?
It really is amazing out of context like this with everything going on.
Surprised I haven’t seen it clipped as a short yet:
