NEW: Graham Platner releases video moments after Politico dropped a report claiming he s*xually assaulted a woman he previously dated. 41-year-old Maine resident Jenny Racicot told the outlet that Platner forced himself on her. "I remember him grabbing my pelvis and being really forceful of me. I remember the specific moment where I thought to myself, like, 'This is no longer my choice,'" Racicot said. Racicot says an intoxicated Platner let himself into her home uninvited before carrying out the alleged assault. She says she repeatedly told him to stop. After the encounter, Racicot says she cut off communication with Platner. Platner denies the allegations but now says he is "taking the time to reflect" on his candidacy.

In an exclusive interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on Monday Jenny Racicot said that Graham Platner, the Democratic nominee for US Senate in Maine, entered her home without permission and raped her when they were in a casual dating relationship. Racicot said the incident happened five years ago while Platner was heavily intoxicated. Platner and his campaign denied the allegations, saying, "These allegations are troubling, serious, and false. Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue." Read more:

PANTS ON FIRE: MSNOW’s Ayman Moyheldin falsely claims Jenny Racicot’s allegations to Politico about Graham Platner are the first time an ex-girlfriend of his brought “receipts” or “told other people about” him, thus she has “so much more credibility” than others. Fact-check: Lyndsey Fifield offered friends, texts, diaries as well. The Times never spoke toher friends. “The other important part in this is the receipts that this woman has. The fact that she had told other people about an interaction with Graham Platner that made her extremely uncomfortable, and according to Politico, crosses that threshold. That is something that I think we’re seeing for the first time that gives so much more credibility to her story and to her allegations, even if Graham Platner is denying them. If it’s one thing that we have, you know, talked about through the MeToo era is believe women, and certainly, women who have told other people about their experiences, I think, crosses a threshold that I think is going to put a lot of intense pressure on Graham Platner’s campaign, but also on his allies who have stood by him throughout previous allegations.”

Tuesday's 'Today' marked only the second time a morning or evening NBC newscast mentioned Graham Platner since last week's The New York Times article about Lyndsey Fifield. Talk about vague when explaining it away: “But Platner has weathered a series of scandals, including the most recent recently where three different women accused him of being toxic and unsettling during their relationships. Now, NBC News has not been able to verify The New York Times reporting on this story, but Platner has said that the accusations are politically motivated and in some cases, not true. Now, Platner also acknowledging that he was forced to cover up a tattoo that some say resembles a Nazi symbol. He said he got that tattoo while he was in the Marines and didn’t know the significance at the time.”

NEW: Bernie Sanders endorsed Senate candidate Graham Platner of Maine, says him getting a tattoo that resembles a Nazi symbol was a total accident. In the new video, Platner showed off his new cover-up tattoo of dogs that he got last night. Platner, who said he was a communist in now-deleted Reddit posts, says he is being targeted by the establishment. "It's come to my attention that it has a stark resemblance to a symbol that is used by neo-Nazis and I want to say that was not the intent at all." "And the idea that I've been going around with something like that utterly horrifies me." "This has come up because the establishment is trying to throw everything it can at me. It is terrified of what we are trying to build here."

Senators Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Chuck Schumer, and others continue to support Democratic senatorial candidate Graham Platner, despite comments he made that offended feminist Democrats and an accusation of violence by a former girlfriend. “Look, he has apologized for that,” said Warren, referring to Platner’s comments on social media in 2013. In response to a Reddit post titled “shorts that prevent you from being raped,” Platner had written, “how about people just take some responsibility for themselves and not get so f----ed up they wind up having sex with someone they don’t mean to?” At the same time, all four Senators refused to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court after a woman alleged that he had tried to sexually assault her while they were in high school. Warren opposed the nomination, citing “credible allegations” of sexual assault. “I listened to Dr. Ford, and I listened to Judge Kavanaugh,” said Sanders. “I believe Dr. Ford.” Said Schumer, “For too long, when women have made serious allegations of abuse, they have been ignored. That cannot happen in this case.” And yet that’s precisely what Schumer has done in the case of Platner. Some may object that the charge against Kavanaugh was more serious, but it was no more credible than the ones against Platner. An ex-girlfriend, Lindsey Fifield, said Platner “regularly grabbed her by the shoulders,” reported the New York Times, “sometimes hard enough to leave marks — and, on one occasion, yanked her out of a cab by her wrist after an argument when she wanted to stay in the car. During one argument, she recalled, he twisted her arm behind her back, shoved her into a bedroom and held the door closed from the other side so she couldn’t get out, telling her to remain there until she was ‘calm.’” Fitfield’s accusation is difficult, if not impossible, to prove, and the same can be said of Ford’s. None of the individuals whom Ford said were at the party, including her lifelong friends, corroborated her account, and one told the Senate she had no memory of it. And a different man told Senate investigators that he was the man who assaulted Ford, not Kavanaugh. Moreover, there is evidence of Platner misrepresenting the truth. For example, he denied he had a serious relationship with his accuser, but the Times’ reporters said they saw a text he sent her in 2016, which read, “Lyndsey, I love you in a way I can’t even describe. “You are literally everything to me.” Platner denied knowing that a tattoo on his chest was the symbol of a Nazi death squad, but last August, “months before Mr. Platner acknowledged the tattoo himself,” noted the Times, “Ms. Fifield told friends that her ex-boyfriend-turned-Senate candidate ‘has a Nazi tattoo on his chest.’ ‘It’s a Totenkopf,’ she told them on Aug. 20, according to a screenshot she shared with The Times. ‘An actual one.’” And Platner said he was treated in 2016 for PTSD, one of whose symptoms is uncontrolled anger and “hyperarousal and reactivity,” which is the feeling of being constantly on the lookout for danger. Platner’s campaign team did not deny Fitfield’s accusation that he fantasized about someone breaking into his home so he could rape them. “Asked about those remarks, a Platner campaign official did not dispute them,” noted the Times. For years, Democrats have accused their political opponents, particularly Donald Trump, of being Nazis, rapists, or soft on Nazis and violence against women. And yet here Democrats are supporting a person facing credible accusations of being sympathetic to Nazism, and accusations of violence that are no less credible than the ones Sanders, Warren, Schumer, and others made against Kavanaugh. While one interpretation of the remarks and positions taken by Sanders, Warren, and Schumer toward Platner is that they are hypocrites putting ends-justify-the-means politics before principles. At the same time, the difference in reactions to Franken and Platner shows that accusations of sexual harassment have less salience today than in 2017. Back then, Senate Democrats did not defend Democratic Senator Al Franken after he was accused of sexual harassment, even though some progressives later said the evidence for it was weak, as they have done with Platner. Meanwhile, the accusations against Platner do not appear to have changed the minds of many Democrats on social media nor among many voters in Maine. And even a Republican strategist told Jesse Watters on Friday that the allegations were unlikely to change the minds of many swing voters. What changed?

BRUTAL: Watch as MS NOW's Catherine Rampell buries Graham Platner over his campaign suspension video GRAHAM PLATNER: From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank all of you. And keep fighting. We're gonna win someday. CATHERINE RAMPELL: Well, that was Graham Platner officially announcing that he is dropping off of the ballot for Maine Senate or for, excuse me, for federal Senate from Maine- but taking zero responsibility for any of the scandals and more troubling things in his past that have destroyed that campaign, instead blaming, let's see, corporate media, the political establishment, lots of hate for the political establishment, saying that “We banded together. We did it the way we were told we were supposed to make change, and we won. And now they are not going to let us have it.” So lots of finger-pointing and blame and not taking any responsibility. Note that whoever he conceives of as the political establishment, you do have many of his once allies, including Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna, also calling for him to drop out- people who believe many of the same policy ideas believe in many of the same policy ideas that Graham Platner himself says that he was taken down for. He also said during that ten-minute video that “All we were asking for was healthcare, was to end the genocide, to use our taxpayer dollars at home to uplift our communities instead of waging war overseas. We were asking for a fair system. We are asking for an end to the corruption.” So, lots of allegations that he was being taken out by nefarious forces that are forcing him to suspend his campaign rather than the drip, drip, drip of scandal after scandal that has dogged his campaign and that have littered the last few months with red flags.

"We are suspending campaign operations." A visibly emotional Graham Platner announced the end of his Senate campaign after multiple sexual misconduct allegations, including a rape accusation, torpedoed his bid. Platner claimed that suspending the campaign was not an admission of guilt, instead arguing the decision was driven by "the structures that are being taken away from us by those in power." Platner continues to deny the allegations, previously calling them "troubling, serious and false."

NBC's Matt Gorman on Graham Platner... "I think Susan Collins is going to beat him like a drum, and I believe that even before the story came out yesterday. I mean, you're right. This was an incredible story with, you know, abuse allegations and infidelity. Two of the other things I took away from it, besides he just seems to be a liar, is the fact that (a) his comments that he did not dispute about if someone broke into his apartment, he would quote, he would essentially rape them, and it was about dominance, not sex. Incredible. What an egregious, awful statement to make. And the other thing is, to Megan's point, it's a further confirmation past a CNN article a few weeks ago that he knew what the Nazi tattoo was and did not dispute that until he disputed it with Chris Hayes last night as well." "And I think part of the anger you get from some in the GOP is we remember folks like what Sheldon Whitehouse did during the Kavanaugh hearings when he went five questions deep on what 'boofing' was. And yesterday, when stopped in a hallway, he said the story was a lot of nothing. And so it's the -- a -- morality on someone like his part when we -- there's one standard when it was Kavanaugh in 2018 and quite another when it's Graham Platner." "Infidelity? I will not condone that. Whether it's Graham Platner or Ken Paxton. I haven't heard allegations Ken Paxton abusing women. I haven't heard Ken Paxton going on kik, which is, quote, called 'a paradise for child predators.' I won't excuse infidelity, but I'm also not going to draw a line between Graham Platner's abuse -- abuse allegations and what Ken Paxton did either."

Right before Elizabeth Warren (Elizabeth Warren) voted against Pete Hegseth (Secretary of War Pete Hegseth) in 2025, she told me that Hegseth was a drunk and essentially a threat to women and children. This is the same Elizabeth Warren who described Graham Platner (Graham Platner for Senate) as “the fire we need.” Platner announced he is taking time to “reflect on his campaign” after he was accused of sexual assault. Elected Democrats are hypocrites and liars.

I wanted to follow up on this Judy Woodruff clip after I confirmed something. In this clip, Woodruff said that reporting—without citing which reporting—had revealed that former President Trump had been pushing Prime Minister Netanyahu not to accept a hostage deal because that would help Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign. Obviously, this was a major allegation. It would mean that Netanyahu was sacrificing the lives of hostages and the security of Israel for Donald Trump’s candidacy and that Donald Trump was trying to keep the hostages, and civilians in Gaza, in harm’s way for political purposes. When people pushed back against her, Woodruff tweeted that she had relied on Axios and Reuters reporting on the matter but had missed that Trump and Netanyahu had denied this reporting. She apologized for the oversight. But her tweet was inaccurate. As I noted last week, Axios and Reuters never reported that Netanyahu was being urged by Trump not to take a hostage deal. They had just reported that Trump and Netanyahu spoke about Gaza. But to be sure, I went back to check a few things and also asked Axios for comment. First, the Reuters report that Woodruff cited was just a pickup of an Axios story. The Axios story Woodruff cited had been updated to reflect Netanyahu’s denial that he and Trump ever discussed Gaza and a hostage deal. (I have linked to both reports in this thread) A spokesperson for Axios confirmed that they NEVER reported that Trump was said to have been discouraging Netanyahu from taking the deal. Not only were Woodruff’s on-air comments inaccurate, but her apology tweet also said that Axios (and Reuters) reported something that they never did. Neither publication even stepped into the area that she suggested. I have followed up with PBS for comment.

Hayes: Did you know what this tattoo was about before last October when you said you first became aware of it? Platner: No, I did not. And I also think it's important to note that it's very likely, and I think that she is that same source. She's the person who's been telling people this from the beginning.

And I also think it's important to note that it's very likely, and I think that she is that same source. She's the person who's been telling people this from the beginning.

CNN’s Abby Phillip brings the receipts about how Democrats from Bernie Sanders to Elizabeth Warren to Ruben Gallego to Ro Khanna all stood by Nazi rapist Graham Platner through prior misconduct revelations and his Nazi tattoo on his chest. They even called Platner "authentic" and "my kind of man." Phillip: “In the wake of new rape allegations that he categorically denies, Graham Platner still hasn't made an official decision, but he has lost support from virtually every prominent Democrat who initially backed him. Senators Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand, Ro Khanna, they are all now calling for Platner to withdraw from the selection after sticking with him through previous sexual misconduct allegations, and reports that he had a Nazi Tattoo on his chest.” Phillip adds, “The New York Times reports that in a private call with campaign staff, Platner said that he believes he still has leverage to influence the decision on his replacement.”

JAKE TAPPER: There‘s something you said that I just want to find out more about. You said he was forcing himself on you. It was getting violent. You were pushing him off. You were kicking him off. Needles and sewing equipment were falling all over. And... walk us through the process where you decided that the safest thing you could do was just let him rape you. JENNY RACICOT, GRAHAM PLATNER ACCUSER: I had never been in that situation before. And I realized I remember it being an incident where I had recognized that he wasn't listening to me. It wasn't just that he wasn't hearing me or whatnot. And then I recognized his level of intoxication. And I knew in that moment I wasn't safe. And I don't think I was. I don't think I was safe to physically fight back. He's big. He's strong. And I just had to evaluate my safety and come up with the least worst outcome to this situation. And so I felt like complying for my safety was the least worst option. TAPPER: But that‘s not consenting. RACICOT: No, complying is not consenting.

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.

Krystal Ball: “There’s things that suggest Susan Collins had an affair in the 70’s. Have we had any reporting about that? No. Graham Platner challenges power, he challenges the oligarchy and he challenges the powers that be on Israel. We know that is a recipe for people coming after you and doing whatever they can to tarnish you and ultimately take you down”

🚨 JUST IN: Bernie Sanders has now officially called on Democrat Graham Platner to drop out of the Maine Senate race after serious sexual assault allegations, and that tells you everything about how bad this has become. Bernie did not move fast because of principle. He moved when the political damage became impossible to hide. Platner is cooked, and Democrats should not get to quietly swap him out and pretend this was never their problem. He is their nominee, their candidate, their mess. They either stand by him or own the collapse. And the real question now is simple: how much did Democrat leaders know, how long did they know it, and why did it take this long for them to finally act?
