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.

I am not sure if this The New York Times story knocks Graham Platner out of the race. But, MAN, are Democrats taking a *massive *risk if they nominate him on Tuesday. Maine is a have-to-have state for a Democratic Senate majority....and Platner is a TOTAL wildcard.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez declined to weigh in when asked about the growing controversy surrounding Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner. The questions came after multiple women accused Platner of abusive behavior and raised concerns about a Totenkopf tattoo — an emblem historically associated with Nazi death camp guards. One former girlfriend alleged Platner fantasized about rape and violence, while another described what she said were troubling encounters during their relationship. Platner has denied wrongdoing and pushed back on the allegations. As scrutiny surrounding the candidate intensifies, Ocasio-Cortez repeatedly avoided directly addressing the claims when pressed by reporters.
