Well, gee wiz, Sparky, maybe you should ask some of your Democratic comrades about how they went after Mitt Romney for things he did as a high schooler, George W. Bush, multiple Republican Supreme Court justices, and so many more
Amid Mounting Democratic Concern, Platner Says His Past Is Being ‘Weaponized’
Graham Platner, the presumptive Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine, moved to quell mounting Democratic anxieties about his candidacy on Friday, telling supporters in a defiant speech that his past behavior was being “weaponized” by his political opponents.
A day after The New York Times reported that three women — a conservative and two Democrats — who had been romantically involved with Mr. Platner described volatile and “toxic” relationships, Mr. Platner addressed a crowd at a theater in Bar Harbor, expressing confidence that Maine voters would stick by him.
“When politically motivated, serious and false accusations are made against me, Maine, you have my back,” Mr. Platner said. “The state of Maine raised me, and the state of Maine saved me, and to all of you out there, Maine, I will always have your back.”
“Now, as every single piece of that past and journey gets dug up, litigated and weaponized, you have my back,” he said.
Mitt Romney cut a kid’s hair and had “binders full of women” (which was totally misconstrued by Dems and their pet media). He didn’t have a Nazi tattoo he boasted about for decades.
Holly Woodworth, a 57-year-old Democrat sitting near the front, said Mr. Platner was the first politician she had seen “in many elections” whom she felt “inspired by.” She said that the allegations had not shaken her support, and that they hadn’t surprised her given how Mr. Platner had previously described going through a dark period after his military service.
Still, she said the stories about Mr. Platner were making her anxious.
“I care whether the Democrats win the majority,” Ms. Woodworth said, expressing concern that revelations about Mr. Platner’s past would drag down his candidacy, and Democrats’ chances of winning the Senate along with it. “I want a change.”
Again, winning is all that matters to most Democrats. Platner could still be talking about how much he loves his Nazi tattoo and they’d still vote for him. A similar article from the Washington Post has
Ro Khanna (D-Ca), who has become a leading advocate in Congress for women who accused disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein of abuse, walked a fine line in his speech defending Platner, saying Platner was not perfect but had owned his mistakes.
“No one should make excuses for his past relationships, some of which were toxic and volatile,” Khanna said. “And no one on our side should attack the women who came forward.”
But Khanna added the United States “broke” young men like Platner, a combat veteran who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, by sending them to war. “If someone felt hurt by Graham in a past relationship, we can listen to them, and we can listen to Graham,” Khanna said.
So, Ro has found a Reason to blow off his advocacy for women to really support Platner. Surprise?
Republicans didn’t let Roy Moore off the hook for trying to date underaged girls when he was in his thirties, and Alabamians voted for a [shudder!] Democrat to represent them in the Senate for six years.
Fortunately, his six years are over, and we have a good conservative in that seat now.
Senatrix Britt IS a conservative, “groomed” by AL Repubes. An attractive Senatrix, Britt was chosen to give the Repube response to the 2024 State of the Union address. Like any loyal Repube, she told an overacted, lurid but false story about a 12 year old Mexican girl trafficked to the U.S. under President Biden’s watch. As it turns out, the girl, Karla Romero, came to the U.S. during George W. Bush’s first term (!) which Britt subsequently confirmed. Oops! Ms Romero was not “trafficked” to the U.S. by the drug cartels. Oops!
She has claimed, “… as a Christian conservative, I believe God commands us to support Israel.” The Senatrix has called the Second Amendment “a critical check against the timeless tyranny of government”. Glad she agrees.
Coach Tuberville has chosen NOT to run for the Senate in 2026. Good riddance. He was an above average football coach but a below average Senator (but as a male, still better than a Senatrix!).
??? Ray Moore was officially endorsed by Trump
The woman accusing Platner is a paid Republican operative who worked for years for the Heritage Foundation
Fifield “dated” Platner for 2 years before breaking up with her and returning to Maine
A woman scorned….
The tattoo? I am sure a l?ot of 23yo marines have made a lot worse mistakes. Dana fo you believe Platner spent any time in deep reflection before choosing that design? I don’t. I don’t think at 23yo I knew of the significance of that design during the Vietnam War there were many patches unofficially used by units featuring some variation of skulls and bones
Your browser can show them should you care to look
Iade a lot of regrets le mistakes at23yo.Fortunately a stupid tattoo was not one I have to live with
Some guy using an alias wrote:
Perhaps the distinguished Mr Platner wasn’t thinking when he got that tattoo; after all, even many years later, he displays an ability to not think!
But he knew he had it, and wouldn’t anyone with any sense have gotten that tat removed or covered over before he started to consider a run for the Senate?
Of course there’s more. He’s been cited for making the same kinds of taunts someone sporting a Totenkampf tattoo might be expected to make, including threatening to sodomize — but not in a gay way! — some group of people he didn’t like. He very explicitly hates Jews. Whatever he knew about the tattoo when he got it, he displays the same kind of attitude that he had to have had when he got it these days as well.
That accuser Fifield the one that slept with that Nazi platner for 2 years? She also firmed the Ladies for Kavanaugh group after he was accused of mistreating women.Weird
