Hey folks, we recorded this one about halfway through all of the unsavory stories coming out against Maine senatorial candidate Graham Platner--and, boy, we were already pretty unimpressed with the guy.
We discuss revelations of his nazi tattoo, his racist Reddit question regarding Black folks and tipping, and his victim-blaming comments regarding women being sexually assaulted out at the bars.
A WHOLE lot more came out in the days after these stories that we think would strike the average voter as disqualifying. With such limited resources, the Left will likely be diverting their resources elsewhere, nationally.

“Platner is part of a crowded Democratic field for the Maine Senate seat; Gov. Janet Mills (D) became the highest-profile candidate when she entered the race last week. All are looking to unseat Sen. Susan Collins (R), who aims to secure a sixth term.”
