I write a lot of emails. “Chaos agent.”

@Mason__McCann His ego.

[Cameron @CameronCHC]

@AllisonRFloyd And pissed that some people are still refusing to take real accountability (“none of the so called red flags are relevant!”) and others are still doing rape apology and smearing the victims.

[The Argument @TheArgumentMag]

Graham Platner's (lack of) judgment is obviously one part of the conversation, but what about the judgment of people who defended him?

Despite a growing body of evidence, many continued to rationalize each new revelation instead of recognizing the pattern that had been there all along. As @JerusalemDemsas argues, good judgment isn't about predicting the future — it's about being willing to follow the evidence that's already in front of you.

[Maine Democrats @MaineDems]

Update from Maine Democratic Party Executive Director Devon Murphy-Anderson on the Maine Senate race.

[Cameron @CameronCHC]

@canderaid He has no beliefs beyond ego & more than that his exercise of personal power is inextricable from any politics he espoused

[Cameron @CameronCHC]

@longingfornickk We cannot allow men like Platner to gain this kind of traction again, and that means recognizing what they are when you see Reddit posts like that.

Character matters in people who want to serve.

[Cameron @CameronCHC]

Despite what his defenders wanted us to believe, holding these beliefs matters and says something about a person’s character.

I'll tell you what the context was. Platner was responding to a woman on reddit who was debunking the myth that women who are intoxicated are to blame for their own assaults. He was trolling a woman--quite angrily--about drug-facilitated sexual assault. Red flags abound.

[Cameron @CameronCHC]

@longingfornickk There is no progress under conditions where rape apologia is as accepted as it has been for this man. The people who platformed him are suspect from here on out.

There needs to be a reckoning that this misogyny was ignored and accepted. It is unacceptable.

[Cameron @CameronCHC]

@longingfornickk Not beating the misogyny allegations.

[Cameron @CameronCHC]

@magi_jay “Everyone” is doing a lot of work there.

@JessPected Lotta rape apology today

[Cameron @CameronCHC]

@BeezyManzell @bendreyfuss She told him not to come over, he came over anyway and let himself in. She pushed him away, she said no.

[Cameron @CameronCHC]

@BeezyManzell @bendreyfuss She told him not to show up to her home in the first place???

[Laura Robinson @LauraRbnsn]

Also, so we're clear:
If Racicot had called the police that night and reported her rape, the story would be that this stupid crazy bimbo had sex and regretted it and was accusing a poor innocent man of rape.
There's literally no correct way for a woman to respond to rape.

[Cameron @CameronCHC]

@tayhlorcoleman Anyone saying they were inspired by his political beliefs has failed to grasp that he does not have them

[Cameron @CameronCHC]

@Wilson__Valdez And also committing domestic violence against another ex, but she was a Republican so must’ve been a political hit job

[Cameron @CameronCHC]

@agraybee “I have to disavow the man but he speaks to political beliefs I stand for” he doesn’t have any beliefs

[Adam Jentleson @AJentleson]

As of yesterday morning I had no strong feelings about Platner’s replacement. As of today I have one strong feeling, which is that we should not under any circumstances let Platner and the folks who got us into this mess bully us into letting them pick his replacement.
