Some people don't want to bring up the past. The past is buried; they've moved on. But once it's right back in front of their face (important public office), they have a moral duty to themselves to tell. This lady was telling others to stay away from him before he ran for office. She was also in therapy and reported the incident to a therapist years ago. I find it credible, and not surprising given all the glaring red flags. Political maneuvering happens, shameless as it can be, but I think it's a shame when that's the default assumption. Below is an example. Platner's former political director quit and warned others, but progressives saw her as being vindictive instead of someone who was doing the right thing. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/06/opinion/graham-platner-rape-accusation.html While I’m assigning blame, I shouldn’t leave out myself. Last October, when stories about Platner’s tattoo and Reddit posts first broke, I went to Maine to write about him. I tried to convey what I saw: a campaign that was electrifying angry Maine voters. But I deeply regret that, impressed by Platner’s political charisma, I wrote that he was “nothing like the edgelord caricature I encountered online.” If anything, he seems to be significantly worse. One person who tried to alert Democrats was Platner’s former political director, Genevieve McDonald. She quit when the first Platner scandals emerged and has been increasingly outspoken against him. Progressive operatives made her seem like a vindictive person eager to curry favor with Maine’s political establishment. In retrospect, she looks much more like someone who took a profound professional risk to do the right thing. I can’t be the only one who regrets not taking her more seriously.
This is a Democrat issue for Democrats to resolve. You MAGA Republicans voted for and still support a guy who was found liable for rape in a court case, among many other credible allegations of sexual abuse. You lost any standing to weigh in here. Just stay the hell out of it.
The E Jean Carroll case was a sham case, funded by Epstein's closest abuser, Reid Hoffman. Carroll did not even know the year the alleged assault occurred, the dress she claimed she wore literally did not come out until years after the date provided, and the plotline exactly tracked a Law & Order episode -- she was a big Law & Order tv show fan. This was a political hit, and justice was not served. Total sham. The Platner case has hard evidence and witnesses. Very different scenario. Surprised you are incapable of spotting this, amigo! GOOD DAY
Yeah, the democrats are the only party with integrity, if he did it he should drop out - to give time to find someone to beat Collins this might give her the seat back. Weird that the victim waited until now to say something - seems very fishy....should be investigated for sure. DD
NYT ignored the evidence to help Democrats… which is why they are failing financially and in the credibility department. Yet somehow liberals still trust them!
Maine MAGAts should vote for Platner. Platner might have to promise to get his sexual assault count up to 30 with a few child rapes for good measure.
Bro literally says this is a Democrat problem for Democrats to solve. He clearly does not see us as all Americans, united as one group, direct and led by a single government. He views the country as "When Democrats are in power, they only help Democrats" and the same with Republicans. instead he says "Us vs Them". Dehumanize. Belittle. Call them insulting names like MAGA The state of problems and its politicians is an AMERICAN problem. Its when people like Amiga insist on party over country style of politics. Politics does not belong to Democrats. Politics does not belong to Republicans. Both are despicable parties and the people who keep defending them are the root of the issue. Most of the people here who keep defending the Democrats deflect or dismiss what goes on with their sad, pathetic dead party. Amigo, maybe its time to find a new identity.
Why is any worthless MAGAt weighing in on this subject when they suck off Trump? now these vermin take issues like this seriously lol, right… they will also be voting for Ken Paxton nobody gives a sh*t about what any of y’all have to say
That is fair, but a lot more integrity than the GOP. Agree on Plantner needing to face consequences, still waiting on PEDOdant Trump to do the same for his Sexual Assault conviction. DD
Liberals make false accusations against Republicans, and lo and behond, it turns out liberals are the ones actually guilty of the accusation! LMAOOOOOO
