Fifield, 41, is the second woman to allege this week that Platner engaged in nonconsensual sexual conduct. Jenny Racicot, 41, who said she previously dated Platner, told The Post and other outlets on Monday that he sexually assaulted her in late 2021, leading a growing number of allies to drop their endorsements and call on him to withdraw from the race for a Maine seat in the U.S. Senate. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), his most influential and prominent supporter, said he spoke with Platner on Tuesday and urged him to withdraw from his campaign to unseat Susan Collins, the incumbent Republican.
Platner, 41, a Marine Corps veteran and oyster farmer, also denied Racicot’s allegation but said on Monday that he was “mindful of the political reality” that the reporting will “inflict” on his campaign and was “taking the time to reflect on the best path forward.”
Fifield initially told The Post about the alleged condom removal during a June 20 interview that was off the record. She said she decided to speak publicly about it Tuesday in part because, she said, she wanted to show that Racicot was not alone in experiencing issues with Platner involving sexual consent.
How about you stop blaming his victims when they’re coming forward to inform the public about who Platner really is before getting elected.
I’m mostly frustrated that killing brown people for money is acceptable profession in the US, but they draw the line at hurting a woman who’s OK with nazi mercenaries.
In the US, brown lives don’t matter. And this shows it.
You’d rather his victims stay silent and allow him to be elected?
I’d rather Nazis mercenaries that kill people that look like me wasn’t brushed under the rug.
Me too, but attacking other victims isn’t gaining you allies here.
After WW2 we had a different opinion about women who slept with nazis.
Maybe in countries invaded by Nazis but not in America, otherwise Ford wouldn’t exist.
