@TheMaineWire This just keeps getting better. Can't wait for the mini-series. You can't make this up but you can always ask GROK to come up with a graphic.
Anatomy of the Ultimate PR Failure — Platner edition:
Non-Apology: "He's not feeling well" instead of owning the real reason (the incoming story).
Deflecting Blame: Let the Gorham Dems deliver the bad news while the campaign hides.
Delayed/No Response: Blocked the outlet that warned them, then went silent as rumors exploded.
Tone-Deaf Stunt: Hyped the town hall, left local Dems hanging, and forced them to make the excuses.
Textbook case of turning a manageable problem into a total embarrassment. The Maine Wire tried to save you the headache.
@Rosa_Lianna2 How would you know they were still alive when I cooked them? Regardless of that, If this is what it takes for you to feel better about torturing vegetables, alright.
@Rosa_Lianna2 Absolutely. But the worst part is you skin the carrot’s while alive, behead the broccoli and dismember them, and then boil them all alive.
Way worse and much worse cruelty.
@RepReaganPaul Thank you very much for stepping up and doing this. This Maine born person thanks you for your devotion to representing our state properly.
Happy 4th of July to you from all of us Maine patriots. God Bless the USA!
