Democrats were fine with the Nazi tattoo. They were fine with accusations of sexual assault because they were against Republican women. Because winning the Senate seat was more important. But, now
Report: Graham Platner Accused of Breaking into Woman’s House, Sexually Assaulting Her
Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing allegations that he broke into a woman’s house and sexually assaulted her, according to a recent report.
Jenny Racicot, 41, told Politico that while she and Platner had been involved in an “on-and-off relationship,” in 2021 he allegedly “entered her rural Maine home uninvited one night” while intoxicated. Platner allegedly “forced himself on her while she repeatedly told him to stop.”
“I remember him grabbing my pelvis and being really forceful of me,” Racicot explained to the outlet. “I remember the specific moment where I thought to myself, like, ‘This is no longer my choice.’”
Breitbart News reported in June that several women, including Lyndsey Fifield, and Racicot spoke to the New York Times about their past relationships with Platner.
See, Racicot is a Democrat, so, suddenly there’s a big concern among the Liberal media
Ryan Grim, a reporter with Drop Site News, wrote in a post on X that Platner’s campaign “canceled events over the weekend, and has since canceled more, as word swirls among consultants, super PACs, and lawmakers that a very damaging allegation is coming as early as this afternoon.”
Probably trying to figure out if there is still support
The Washington Reporter wrote in a post on X that a “well-placed source” informed the outlet that Platner would be dropping out of the Maine Senate race.
Democrats are probably looking to replace him now, giving someone a chance to go against Susan Collins, ala Kamala replacing Biden.
(Fox News) Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., rescinded his endorsement and called on Platner to suspend his campaign following a bombshell Politico report detailing a rape allegation by Maine resident Jenny Racicot, 41, who previously dated the scandal-plagued candidate.
“I’ve been very clear that sexual assault or violence against women is a red line,” Khanna said in a post on social media Monday evening. “These allegations are very serious and credible. Graham Platner should drop out from the race. I am withdrawing my endorsement.”
So why were the previous allegations no good? Also, does this mean that having a Nazi tattoo is OK?
You aren’t a hardcore Dem, so, they didn’t give a damn
Graham Cracka .
Good news for our resident Party activists. The Party has withdrawn their endorsement from Platner so party members are “free” to stop blindly supporting their nazi, rapist, liar, violent wealthy white kid whose parents bought him a business, a home, and a career in politics. That must be a real relief on their cognitive dissonance.
Party activists: BUT TRUUUUMP!!!
Thought you were describing Donny.
The institutional Dems recognize an increasingly unelectable asshole. Even being determined a rapist by a jury, being given business after business by daady, bankrupting several, being accused of sexual assault by dozens of young women, dodging the draft and so forth is not disqualifying in the US of A.
Morality is for losers!!
The Dems are only slightly better than the Repugs. America needs MUCH, MUCH better leadership than either of these fucking featherbedding orgs can offer. Both are protecting the status quo of the rich getting ever richer and the working class … well, nobody cares about the working class who were just too unlucky to have a rich daddy.
“Elites” only want to stay elite.
HE’S BACK!
Dumber than ever repeating the same old lies.
Must have been all that clean air in Alaska.
Maybe? MAYBE???
Just when I think Fetterman is not really a Democrat he says, “MAYBE?”
“Rape allegations mar reputation of local Nazi..”

The left were fine with Graham Platner as their nominee . . . when he had a lead in the polls. They could ignore the Nazi tattoo, and socialism and antiSemitism is the new Democratic Party. Once that lead vanished, before the latest stories, oops, nope, no way, gotta get rid of him!
Except he won the primary, and he has every right not to withdraw. His campaign has made noises that he will not withdraw unless he is allowed to name the replacement nominee, meaning another socialist and antiSemite.
Bad causes attract bad people, and socialism and antiSemitism are horrible causes. Mr Platner obviously has some charisma, and the hard left got him the nomination, but being a bad person was always going to be a problem in the general election.
As always. The democrat party strategy was “lie”. Just like they lied about Biden, Clinton, and Obama.
One wonders if the local Party activists will ever feel free to admit that they really were communists all along. With so many of their elected officials “out of the closet” now. They should just stop lying.
“Winning the primary” never mattered to THE PARTY. It’s not like they are actually democratic. Like when they gave Hillary the win over Sanders. And when the pushed Biden out and installed Harris. They have a week to put in their “candidate to be named later”.
Platner just gave the same speech Swalwell gave in California. Same Party Writers’ template. He is on his way out to make room for next person with connections that democratic voters will have no choice but to support. Local Party members will give their enthusiastic endorsements as soon as they know who it is. Until then… BUT TRUUUUUUUMP!!!!!!
