Maine Democrat Graham Platner characterized the heroics described by former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell in his bestselling memoir, Lone Survivor, as a “bullshit glory story.”
The memoir recounts Operation Red Wings, a failed SEAL mission to capture a Taliban leader during which three of Luttrell’s fellow SEALs lost their lives and he himself narrowly evaded Taliban capture with the help of a local Pashtun.
According to Platner, Luttrell, who was played by Mark Wahlberg in the 2013 feature film based on his book, was “lying” and promoting “war porn.”
.@carolinedowney_ speaking the truth here on Graham Platner:
"He's a phony, he's a fraud. This is a guy who went to Hotchkiss for goodness sake, and yet he's claiming that he's from a working class background."
Maine voter torches Democrats for supporting Graham Platner:
“I can’t believe that the Democrats are going to support someone who had a Nazi tattoo…He’s just a real extremist to me. I’m not interested in him at all.”
TEXAS SENATE RACE: A second senior staffer has confirmed an intimate relationship with Democrat James Talarico. Texas House member sleeping with his chief of staff & senior aides triggers House discipline, Labor Code liability, & possible criminal charges. No wonder everyone thoughts James was gay - he was keeping his relationships secret because they were all improper and possibly illegal.
This isn’t remotely true, Rachel. It’s not 2020 any more either. The people who took your NBA job because you were a white woman aren’t ever going to give it back to you no matter what you say about Trump.
Last year, I watched a woman sacrifice her career to stand on principle and warn the public about a dangerous man.
Genevieve has been relentlessly attacked—but she kept her honor and her soul. She has inspired me to stay strong through this storm.

She did not "get caught". She turned herself into authorities. Her dog's mail in ballot was successfully counted in the statewide election to recall Gov. Newsom in 2021, but it was rejected in the 2022 federal primary election. Proof of ID or residence is not required in CA elections. But proof of residence & registration is required for first time voters in a *federal* election. Only the dog's ballot in the *federal* election was rejected. The dog's mail in ballot was accepted for the CA state election!
MODERATOR: You said animal agriculture is a horrific, exploitative industry. Do you still believe what you said?
RUTINEL: “Farmers and ranchers are my friends.”
MODERATOR: “Would you mind answering the question?”
The former political director of Platner's campaign writes a damning op-ed in today's Washington Post denouncing him and urging voters to reject him:
