Platner should be a wake up call for Democrats that leftists are pushing wacko candidates who will risk must-win seats in an election where American democracy is at stake. We need to get better about rejecting lunatics and those pushing them on the party.

[Jeff Blehar is *BOX OFFICE POISON* @EsotericCD]

If nothing else, we're realizing that Graham Platner's whole "shucks I'm working-class oysterman" spiel is a wild lie now. He really lived for a large part of the past decade in Washington D.C., hobnobbing with activist progressive politicos, which is how he was recruited in the first place.

[Jeb Fain @JebFain]

An important lesson to take from Platner is that when leftists claim they know what a winning swing-state candidate is, they most obviously do not.

[Kenyan McDuffie @kenyanmcduffie]

Leadership is about judgment. My opponent says that Trayon White is her mentor and even swore him into office after he was removed from the council. Her public safety voting record speaks for itself, too. DC deserves a Mayor whose values it can trust.

[Neera Tanden🌻 @neeratanden]

Do these people realize there's no story to plant on the Nazi tattoo If He Didn't Have A Nazi Tattoo?
Do they also think Susan Collins would never discover the Nazi tattoo?
On the story of this epic disaster I hope someone looks into how much conspiracy addled brains contributed to it.

Maya Angelou said it best: when people show you who they are, believe them. Janeese Lewis George’s votes have shown us exactly who she is. I’ve spent almost 14 years delivering for DC, and as Mayor, that’s exactly what I’ll do. Rank me #1 on your ballot and vote by June 16.

I don’t think the Democrats continuing to back Platner understand how bad this looks for them right now. I genuinely do not. But for the record, this is not the last controversy involving him to be exposed, far from it, and they’re all going to wish they’d dumped him now, in due course.

Everyday for the Platner campaign

[Jeb Fain @JebFain]

Drop out

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

These are serious accusations. They are also false.

Throughout this campaign, I’ve been open about a very dark period of my life, when I struggled with undiagnosed PTSD. I'm not proud of the man I once was, but I'm proud of the man I am today, and of the movement we've built.

[Jeb Fain @JebFain]

Hey, uh — which centrist with a Nazi tattoo accused of twisting a woman’s arm behind her back and shoving her into a bedroom were leftists told to shut up and vote for exactly?

[Nathan J Robinson @NathanJRobinson]

Dems' reactions to Platner making it transparently clear that "Vote Blue No Matter Who" was always just a way to make leftists to shut up and vote for centrists, not an actual principle

[Ethan Wolf 🇺🇸 @ethanmwolf]

It’s odd that the Pod Save America team has gone radio silent today… isn’t it?

[Jeb Fain @JebFain]

This really was an astounding way to respond to a Jewish Democratic Congressman rightly calling a Nazi tattoo, “disqualifying.”

[Jeb Fain @JebFain]

The question for the Democratic Party is do we want to be making excuses for Graham Platner from now until November or do we want to prosecute the case against Susan Collins and Donald Trump? I feel like it’s not really that tough a call.

[Jeb Fain @JebFain]

Platner should drop out, and this is a really good time for any and all Democrats to call on him to do so.

[Rob Flaherty @Rob_Flaherty]

Sorry, I just found his denials of everything to be so categorical as to be unbelievable and it actually made me even more worried that this won't be the end of it.

[Jeb Fain @JebFain]

IMO, we’d be better off with a nominee who could dedicate more time to prosecuting the case against Donald Trump and Susan Collins — rather than being plagued by a new self-inflicted scandal almost every week.

Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner will address The New York Times story on MS NOW with Chris Hayes at 8:00 PM ET

[Jeb Fain @JebFain]

Even if we didn’t know exactly how — it was entirely predictable that as more and more came out on Platner — it would only get worse. Safe bet it will get worse yet. I blame him and those on his team who thought it’d be fun to play Russian roulette with a must-win Senate race.

WSJ: Senators Privately Ask Graham Platner Whether New Allegations Will Emerge

Maine Senate candidate tells Democratic lawmakers, "The worst of the rumors we’ve all heard are not true" and denied credible allegations of assault are forthcoming.

One good lesson from all this is when a guy claims he didn’t know he had a Nazi tattoo for 20 years, maybe don’t just take him at his word.

[Michael A. Cohen (NOT TRUMP’S FORMER FIXER) @speechboy71]

This is the biggest mark against Platner … he’s a liar.
