He was, he say, "not a good boyfriend." He was "self-medicating with alcohol." It was a "pretty dark period' of his life.

It's hard out here for ol' Maine Kampf.
Hatchet wounded warrior.
Appeal to empathy, perhaps a sympathetic vote, or an em-pathetic appeal?
Latest lab grown meat product fares poorly on store shelves.
Does he not see he is being Swalwell’d by the Dems?
Does anyone think he won't win if he stays in the race?
"It was a "pretty dark period' of his life."
Which the Democrats will happily bring to the law-making process.
“Senator Ossoff, do you believe all women? Is toxic masculinity OK, do you support Platner”.
Ossoff, “I want to talk about affordability”
Reporter, “well, we don’t”
Option 1 - he wins next Tuesday (likely). Gop runs on him nationwide.
Option 2 - he loses, but he will get 30% of the vote plus and those who voted for him love him. So, Collins wins by 20 or more. GOP still runs on him and lefties nationwide are pissed at “establishment “ dems. Heard a lefty professor in Virginia this weekend - he says, “we need more Graham Platners”
This is just entertainment at this point.
Most of the stuff he is being accused of is stupid METOO bullshit.
But democrats got their stupid little women weeweed up about how awful men are so they have to take the Communist with NAZI tattoos out.
Democrat voters are the dumbest people on the planet.
worth a repost, IMHO:
The Platner campaign in thirty seconds.
WHAT'S THAT IN THE TRUNK?
Well hes a psycho could go mike tyson munch at any time
You know it's hard out here for a pimp
When he tryin' to get this money for the rent
For the Cadillacs and gas money spent
Because a whole lot of bitches talkin' shit
So the Commies brought “toxic masculinity” into the vernacular and voilà, here we are! Who locks his girlfriend in the bedroom until she calms down? The Nazi from Maine!
Platner is hardly the first would-be politician to discover that you need to start managing your resume years before you declare your candidacy.
You can't brazen your way through just anything.
Unfortunate that the youtube still put the button right over his jaw so thousands of women can enjoy the feeling they're punching him in the face by proxy when they hit "play".
Who puts a lock on the outside of the bedroom?
Seems... premeditated.
When they roll out Chris Hayes to save your candidacy…
Graham Platner’s Alleged Victims Came Forward. The New York Times Fed Them To The Wolves | The Daily Caller https://share.google/quRtuUqkdG5B9rI2j
…this is a guy the Democrats want in office. They might get him…
Who puts a lock on the outside of the bedroom?
Good question. I guess she wasn't the first woman at Graham's house who needed to calm down.
This is what they think of regular veterans remember that dhs dispatch in 2009
The sexual abuse distracts from his position of training terrorist trainer…
And by the way.
E. Jean Carroll and anyone who supports her is a piece of shit because you are all Platner supporters too.
Democrats attacked Platner's accusers.
Democrats are just shitty evil people top to bottom.
He went back to iraq as a contractor in the war he was 'forced' by susan collins right
They want a new Bernie soooo bad.
Apparently Bernie just makes it look easy.
We that guy had rape fantasies this one might actually rape rape
Remember the caro they put matt gaetz for two years

There’s been a major cultural shift accelerated by Trump, where many voters now see scandal coverage as establishment sabotage. These stories are no longer automatically disqualifying.That’s exactly what’s happening in Maine. Voters are brushing it off as a DC issue pushed by the chattering classes and Democratic insiders. They care more about cost of living and Platner’s populist economic message and are prepared to overlook the controversy.
To be clear, Platner is not Donald Trump when it comes to women. This involves consenting adults, as far as we know.
Still, Susan Collins consistently outperforms her polls and will be very hard to beat. Maine’s electorate is older, the average voting age around 52 and many voters, especially women, are turned off by Platner’s issues.
Democrats are running the wrong candidate for the state. Platner’s style might work in deep-red states like West Virginia or Montana, but Maine requires winning back centrist and conservative Democrats who regularly split tickets for Collins. Platner isn’t the candidate who does that.
You see the mountain of vomit the Times threw on them
While they cheered the Carroll nothingburger
If he’s a Senator he’s impossible to prosecute…
‘made man’ untouchable
Well he hasnt even killed someone like the swimmer (so by that standard)
Typical idiot lefty.
And hes a few years from being a Soviet tool

Yeah, I never quite understood the appeal of Sanders to his voters. He had/has the ability to stay on message, and the message was appealing to them, but personally he seemed very off-putting; the accent, the crazy man look, the coldness and lack of humor - I just never got it. Platner, for all of his issues, is different from that.
I hear you knockin’

"not a good boyfriend." He was "self-medicating with alcohol." It was a "pretty dark period' of his life..
and, don't forget; he's talking about last fall.
As someone who served in the Marines as well, you should know that certain units in the Corps have long used Nazi symbolism in logos, etc. the Deathshead and the runic SS have been a part of (for example) the Scout Snipers for a very long time. If you go back to the era when people read books, you can find pictures of it. The Corps didn’t like it, but they also didn’t fully stamp out.
Now I’m not justifying it, nor commenting on it in any way, other than pointing out that it was a fact that you’d find Marines and units using Nazi symbolism well into the 90’s and probably later, when Platner served. It was looked at, in context, much differently than today.
The issue here is less about “is he a Nazi,” and more about having an embarrassing tattoo tgat he won’t just come clean about.
The Democrats threw white working class voters out of their coalition during the Obama years.
They’ve been trying to throw Jews out of their coalition since early during the Biden administration.
And now to save Platner they’re try to dump feminists.
Gonna be a teeny, tiny party when they’re through. Just Bernie, Platner, AOC, and the gullible.

Clinton and Biden supporter has thoughts.
This piece of shit voted for 2 known rapists and the wife of a rapist that persecuted her husband's victims.
And he wants to blame Trump for his complete lack of morality.
You can't make this up. Chuck is just a complete piece of shit in every possible way.
All Platner demonstrates is the complete emptiness and amoral nature of the opposition to Trump.
He presents it as the hero's journey. It's an inspiring story of transformation and redemption. He had the courage to face down those demons, and he has won. Let's not look to the past. Let's look to the future.......Sadly, during a dark period of his life, he lost his way and dated a Republican. Most of his current problems stem from that. As Republicans do, that woman is lying about everything. It goes without saying that those contemporaneous diary entries were forged so there's no need for Hayes to probe deeper.....Let's hope that he didn't text message with some underage Republican. Who knows that lies she'll tell.
platner:
there are NO text messages
those text messages are from a dark time in my life (4 months ago)
there is nothing incriminating in those text messages
those texts messages are from adult women
Platner KNOWS that the women were adults (of course he checked!)
Out, out damned blot.
Fresh troll, this is what he thinks of fighting man
I though that was bulwinkle
Platner supporters lend a whole new relevance to Blue Oyster Cult.
We have reason to fear the reaper (i didnt know the subtext)
Those are the pik text are they
@ Andre 8:26AM
All that's true, but Platner's tattoo is still fair game under the new rules.
Remember the carp they threw at hegseth they have no standards
Remember the carp they threw at hegseth they have no standards
Exactly. Except Hegseth didn't actually have a Nazi tattoo, he wasn't a drunkard, he didn't abuse women. They suggested Hegseth had done those things and then said he was unfit. Platner is on record of doing such things, and no problem because he'll be a reliable Democrat vote to protect their power.
So, he went through a dark period. So what?
THe uniparty wants Planter to drop out, he's another Trump. They want Collins to stay in the Senate, she's their girl.
Again, don't care about people's private lives before they went into politics. What does his "dark period" have to do with what he'll do in the Senate?
The Party subscribed to the Pro-Choice [ethical] religion from its conception. A model of Diversity and political congruence.
Dems: “we need tough working-class veteran guy to win!”
Also Dems: “let’s get an emotionally unstable cosplaying oyster farmer who did a stint in the Marines but hates veterans and makes bad decisions in Eastern European tattoo parlors, because who hasn’t done that!”
Still more Dems: “Let’s have him treat our largest voting block like crap, they all just love a bad boy, as that tattoo thing…it shows support for the oppressed people of Gaza.”
Just keep many tranq guns on stand by
Nazi and self-absorbed
blame the alcohol. He makes the perfect modern democratic.
MS NOW - LOL
"as that tattoo thing…it shows support for the oppressed people of Gaza.”
That will garner him votes.
"long used Nazi symbols"
Sounds like a lie, to me.
the troll skips right past his abuse of women.
RCOCEAN II bizaarly said he...
..don't care about people's private lives before they went into politics..
so, rco? What If, in their private lives.. they were zionists?
or; What If, in their private lives.. they'd had a Bar Mitzvah?
of course; that'd be a little different, wouldn't it?
care to explain HOW?
Lyndsey Fifield is on X
She's been trying to sabotage his candidacy for months, apparently.
"Yes, the day I saw him announce he was running I wanted to make sure people knew he had a Nazi tattoo -- and I was terrified that he knew it was me."
"I also knew how dangerous it is to become the target of a narcissist -- so even long after our relationship ended I continued to be upbeat any time he reached out."
She gets asked why she was dating somebody with a Nazi tattoo, which remains a very good question.
as seen on X
"I'm teaching my daughters that feminists and liberal women will NOT support them if they are abused by a left-wing man with any power
They will run the old familiar "you can't believe that bitch" playbook b/c, ultimately, they are religious zealots and their religion is politics"
So he graduated from “not a good boyfriend” to “not a good husband,” and is hoping to move on up to “not a good Senator.” Got it.
The NYT disgusts me.
Andre, Herr Platner didn't join until 2004 IIRC (it was definitely after the Iraq campaign started because he's been slandering Collins for that vote but joined after it) so your claims about 1990s standards don't wash.
Also the Nazi tattoo is far more about the hypocrisy of leftists like low T IEE than Platner per se.
