Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner's wife says it is shameful that the media is sharing "gossip" that she first brought to light. The statement from Amy Gertner comes after the New York Times reported that she flagged s*xually explicit texts to his campaign. "Graham and I have a great marriage. Being married is hard. Being newly married is hard. Being newly married and going through infertility is hard." Platner is accused of messaging multiple women outside of his marriage on a hookup messaging app. The New York Times reports that Platner's wife told ex-campaign director Genevieve McDonald that he was s*xting with 12 different women.

It’s getting worse and worse for Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner. Why is he pushing his wife out to defend him amid his sexting scandal? Is he really that big of a dirtbag? Or... wait, his wife is on his campaign payroll. Is she doing this to save her own paycheck?

A month ago Graham Platner was assuring the folks at Morning Joe that there was nothing else coming out after his sexting scandal became public. It's so fun when these people make fools out of the fools on the left.

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.”

Shortly before news of Graham Platner’s adulterous sexts broke, NPR sat down with the Maine Senate hopeful and asked him to describe “the masculinity that you represent.” Platner said that while he lifts weights and shoots guns, he also has “a very open sort of dialog and emotional relationship with my wife.” When NPR asked Platner to do a follow-up interview to discuss the scandal, his campaign declined.

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.

“This guy is a sociopath,” says Kevin Walling about Graham Platner. “The ego on this guy to potentially stay in this race — I don’t put that past him — and there’s no shame. There was no shaming this guy over the Nazi tattoo, over all of this sexting… all the the abuse that is well documented. And he saw in recent polling that he’s in the margin of error with Susan Collins. So there is no shaming this guy.” Graham Platner for Senate Susan Collins Mark Halperin L A R R Y 2WAY

Zero tolerance for Nazi ink. Why is John Fetterman the ONLY Democratic Senator willing to say what everyone knows? He dropped truth bombs on CNN this morning about Graham Platner ✅“All Democrats, we all know that that was Nazi ink, and everyone knows that he said these terrible things online.” ✅“The only reason he’s apologizing is because he got caught.” ✅“He’s lied to America, he lied to my colleagues in the Senate.” No redemption arc. Just a guy who tried to delete his history, got exposed, and now expects us to pretend it never happened. Thanks Sen. Fetterman for having the courage to speak out.

Maine candidate Platner today on his Nazi tattoo he had before this campaign: “I’m not going to apologize for something that like I didn’t know about or do. The moment that it was clear and I was putting it in that context I had it covered, because I don’t want that on my body.”

Graham Platner's rise happened entirely outside the Democratic Party's establishment, handpicked by a group of independent activists. ⁠ ⁠ Before a woman Platner was romantically involved with publicly alleged that he sexually assaulted her, WSJ's Aaron Zitner reported on the strategy behind the activists' gamble on the Maine Democratic Senate nominee.⁠ ⁠ The sexual assault allegation, which Platner denied, has prompted top Senate Democrats and close allies to rescind their endorsements, cut off funding and call for him to drop out.⁠ ⁠ Sen. Bernie Sanders said on Tuesday that he had spoken with Platner and “in light of these very serious allegations, I have recommended that he step aside.”⁠ ⁠ Watch more: 🎥

DSCC Senate Democrats Chair Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand Kirsten Gillibrand, a donor to Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner Graham Platner for Senate, pushed fake sexual assault allegations against President Donald Trump during an appearance on The View The View in 2018. Gillibrand lied through her teeth, saying: “Let’s talk about Trump first, he has multiple allegations of sexual assault and sexual harassment. He should resign because of that. He should be held accountable.” The chair of the DSCC has a history of making up lies about President Trump while donating to a guy who masturbates in public restrooms. Something is very wrong with the Senate Democrats.

Senator John Kennedy served up one of the most brutal ROASTS of Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner. The line that sold the two-minute comedy routine was calling him so extreme he makes AOC look like Aunt Bee in Mayberry. KENNEDY: “Sean, Mr. Platner seems to be one of the new faces of the loon wing of the Democratic Party.” “Clearly he’s angry. When I see him on TV, he always looks like he’s straining to have a stool.” “His supporters say no, you don’t understand him. He’s just idiosyncratic. I guess he goose steps to the beat of his own drummer.” “But his history shows there’s more than that.” “I mean, this guy makes...he makes Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez look like Aunt Bee in Mayberry.” “Mr. Platner’s comments about black people, his cavalier attitude towards r*pe, apparently his stated preference for masturbating in a porta-potty, his contempt for America.” “I think at one point he implied he wished the Taliban were better shots to kill our people.” “This is not normal. I mean, this guy is 10 exits past normal.” “Then he says well, that was in my past. I’ve been born again. But just recently we found out through his wife that Mr. Platner has been sending sexually explicit messages, digital messages, to other women.” “He calls it sexting.” “He says oh, there’s nothing to see here. Well, Anthony wiener was sexting. We all said what is that about?” “We found out he was sending pictures of his penis to young women.” “Now, I’m not saying Mr. Platner is doing that. I don’t know. But he needs to release those text messages. I want to know if he’s a sexual predator!” “I mean, the people of Maine deserve to know. This guy is...he’s like a Saturday Night Live skit!”

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.
