Planter’s campaign did not deny the allegations about him getting physical to the New York Times, but Platner is repeatedly denying it on MS NOW.
Why didn’t they deny it in the piece?
Graham Platner denies allegations of psychical abuse in exclusive interview MS NOW's Chris Hayes.
Platner: "There are some allegations in this piece that I just want to be kind of unequivocal about are simply not true. Anything alleging, physicality, anything alleging that I knew what my tattoo was. These are the statements of someone who's politically motivated."
#MaineSenate
Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing allegations of unsettling and in at least one case physically threatening behavior toward women he dated, according to a report published by The New York Times. https://t.co/r3rJHXlL7R
The Graham Platner scandal is getting worse by the day. Where are the Democrats who called Biden a liability and demanded he step aside? Where are the viral posts, the urgent op-eds, the public pressure? The silence is deafening.
Three women who dated Graham Platner, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Maine, told The New York Times they found his actions intimidating and disturbing, describing volatile relationships. https://t.co/ClaeKxVUEs
👀 As fallout continues over Graham Platner's sexually explicit texts, Janet Mills is reminding folks she's still on the ballot:
“People have the impression that I ‘withdrew’ or ‘dropped out,'” Mills (D) told @PressHerald, “but I simply suspended active campaigning. I am still on the ballot.”

“People have the impression that I ‘withdrew’ or ‘dropped out,'” Maine Gov. Janet Mills told @SteveCollinsSJ yesterday, “but I simply suspended active campaigning. I am still on the ballot.” https://t.co/85pnBg3qDT
he keeps saying “ we’ve discussed things that have happened in our marriage over the years.”
They’ve been married three years. He needs to stop acting like they’re some old married couple.
There is no world in which this is okay.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney.
His son's employment was hidden so thoroughly that his name appears nowhere on the Treasury Department website, he has no public resume, and his bar listings are outdated.
If Alito had recused himself, the secret would have come out. He didn’t recuse himself.
This is a clear conflict of interest, and the American people deserved to know about it.
The federal recusal standard is clear: a justice must step aside in any case where there is a reasonable basis to question whether he or she can be impartial. A justice ruling on cases involving the department where his son works fails that test. The Treasury Department sits at the center of some of the biggest legal fights of this administration, and challenges to Trump’s $1.776 billion January 6 slush fund could be headed to the Court next.
The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no binding code of conduct. That is completely unacceptable, and it has to change NOW.
Congress controls the Power of the Purse, and therefore the Court’s funding. If the Court will not adopt a binding code of conduct with real recusal review on their own, I support withholding their funding until they do.

As a woman it is devastating for me to watch a bunch of so called progressives forgive the most disgusting actions of a white male candidate after picking apart the laughter of a brilliant and qualified Black woman.
Interestingly, the last time California was dumb enough to elect a Republican as governor was in 2006, who immediately asked a Democrat to help him save the state from going bankrupt. That Democrat who helped save California from bankruptcy was none other than Karen Bass.
Graham Platner: “It’s no surprise to me the establishment media outlets are just gonna run gossip instead of wanting to talk about the things that actually matter in this race which are the material realities Mainers are working with. These people are gonna try to make this race about anything but what’s it’s supposed to be about which is policy. Amy and I have a very loving and very happy marriage. They would very much like to try to rip that apart. They’re gonna come after us in every awful way they possibly can and we’re just gonna keep talking about the fact that the hospitals are closing, childcare facilities are closing, teachers and nurses aren’t paid enough and that everybody down here continues to work harder and longer and get less. The powers that be don’t want us to talk about that so they’re just gonna do gossip instead… What Genevieve McDonald said in the NYT is not true”
Platner lies at the end of this video. He says nothing in the NYT or WSJ articles is true. He claims it's all just gossip from a former campaign staffer. That's a lie. I can access his Kik profile on my phone right now. He is flat-out lying. Again.
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s business partners, the Alexander brothers, have been convicted on 19 counts of sex trafficking.
It’s odd how often sex offenders appear in the Trump family’s inner circle.
