What is worse than a Nazi Totenkopf tattoo? Maybe we should ask Graham Platner, the Democrat candidate for the U.S. Senate from Maine. Maybe the reason Platner has been calm & cool about the exposure of his heinous tattoo is because he KNEW there was a scandal in his background that was SO MUCH worse than his tattoo. Graham Platner has been exposed as a member of the Socialist Rifle Association, a radical communist transgender group. You probably know them colloquially as Transtifa. Platner has been exposed not only as a member and participant but a recruiter and a firearms instructor to this group, as recently as 2020.

It is incomprehensible that Graham Platner is on the verge of securing the Democratic nomination in the Maine Senate race. At the end of the day, we just need the people of Maine to send Susan Collins back to the Senate and keep that Republican Majority in the Senate!🇺🇸

Holy Cow! A democrat is by far and away the favorite to win the main Senate election over Republican incumbent Susan Collins. Graham Platner (Graham Platner for Senate) is expected to represent the Democrats in the election. It seems as though his strong anti-ICE messaging is really hitting home in Maine.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) doubled down on his support for Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner ahead of Tuesday’s primary, despite controversies surrounding the Democrat's campaign. “I am going to do everything I can to make sure that Graham Platner is the next senator from the state of Maine,” Sanders said during a conversation with CBS News’ Robert Costa at the National Press Club on June 8. “When you look at politics in general, there are no saints in the United States Senate,” Sanders added. Platner is facing allegations of "unsettling" behavior toward women he dated, and has also insisted that he did not know a chest tattoo he got as a Marine in 2007 is a widely recognized Nazi symbol. He has since had the tattoo covered up.

For almost a decade, "Believe Women" was the rallying cry of the left. But when it comes to a Democratic Senate candidate accused of serious misconduct, that principle disappeared entirely. Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner is now facing a rape allegation from a former partner, Jenny Racicot. But that wasn’t the first accusation.

Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner announced Wednesday he is suspending his campaign after a woman accused him of sexually assaulting her when they were dating five years ago. Platner announced his decision in an 11-minute video where he vehemently denied the sexual assault allegations, calling them "false" and "not real," but said the pressure from state-level and national Democrats had made it impossible for his campaign to continue. As CBS News' Caitlin Huey-Burns reports, Platner's decision to drop out came one day after Sen. Bernie Sanders announced that he was withdrawing his support and recommended he step aside from the race.

Trump - "Maine Is Not Innocent, It's Bad" -Maine has been used as a Leftist/Democrat training ground, because of the "innocence" it once portrayed. From the fraud, to Democratic Socialists, to radically captured universities. -Mamdani was a foreigner that was naturalized roughly 9 years ago. He was brought to Maine to be trained at Bowdoin College - a far-left institution that pumps out Democratic Socialists. -Graham Platner was caught training trans leftists on military style tactics in the woods of Maine. -Democratic Socialists seized Portland and other cities, enacting policies/laws that are traitorous to our nation. *Maine IS bad. It was purposely used as a training ground, because no one would have thought to look here. There is a reason that such a low populated state makes national & international headlines nonstop.
