Barely two months ago, little-known Senate candidate Graham Platner announced his bid to unseat Republican Susan Collins and was immediately celebrated by the New York Times with a largely-glowing profile. But in recent days, other big mainstream media institutions have turned their attention to Platner and found all manner of controversial past statements, starting with CNN:
Graham Platner, a Marine veteran turned oyster farmer who is now a rising Democratic Senate candidate in Maine, once called himself a “communist,” dismissed “all” police as bastards, and said rural White Americans “actually are” racist and stupid, according to deleted social media posts reviewed by CNN’s KFile.
In one now-deleted Reddit comment from 2021, Platner responded to a thread about people becoming more conservative as they age by saying: “I got older and became a communist.” The comment was made on a subreddit called r/Antiwork, a far-left forum “for those who want to end work.”
 
They are the party of the Coastal Elites, the Underclass, Islamo fascists, and displaced communists from all corners of the spectrum.

They have a colorful history also…funny pointed hats, starting a civil war, Jim Crow laws…

The Ass is a fitting mascot…

Are you considering voting for him? I know you enjoy being a bigot.
 
WSJ editorial board:

Did you hear the one about the Bernie Sanders-backed Senate candidate with a Nazi SS emblem tattooed on his chest? Alas the case of Maine’s Graham Platner, a critic of Israel and its supporters, is no joke. So far Democrats have stood by him.
