I bucked all advice from my friends (and resisted my conservative bias) and decided to fully trust the Times journalists.
As they left my home they asked that I not talk to any other outlets and I insisted then and repeatedly over the following weeks that I would keep my word and only share this story with them.
But then the weeks dragged on. They kept coming back to us saying the editors needed more. I needed to go on the record (okay). We need more screenshots (okay). I met every bench mark they set, eager to provide more sources or evidence as needed.
After the story went up I began to ask them … wait, where are the stories from the other women? Where are their accusations of sexual assault? Why am I the focus? Why are there 11 paragraphs dedicated to detailing my work history (more than has been published about Graham’s by far)?
Why does it say “nobody could corroborate” when I offered them sources that COULD corroborate?
Why did they include an out of context quote from a friend joking “do not call Graham” after I called off my wedding? (Because she knew I would never).
Where were the screenshots they’d said they would use? Or the mention that I’d supported local democrats and that most of my family (and husband) are liberal?
The editors said it was too much, they explained.
The Times also failed to include any mention that I DID confide in multiple friends through the years that Graham had been abusive — long before he was running for office. Those friends confirm they told the Times so.
It dawned on me that this really was a set up all along. The journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign. Violating the trust of his victims. Shattering the trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life.
And at the end of my call with them I reluctantly accepted their insistence that this was still a powerful story and that I had done a brave thing. And I thanked them for all the hard work they had put into it.
Still fawning after all these years.
As the Times forced Lyndsey to jump through these hoops, they simultaneously published non-credible and non-verified accounts of rape by Israeli dogs in their pages.
Progressives don't even realize how easily they're manipulated.
Here's how this clearly went down:
Platner, worried about all of the skeletons in his closet, started gaming out who had keys to that closet & how to deal with them.
Ex-girlfriends like Lyndsey were the key focus.
Rather than waiting for someone to start leaking embarrassing details (kinda like his wife did, inadvertently), Team Platner & the NYT convinced Lindsey they would take their claims seriously, convinced them to give them exclusivity, so that they could control the narrative.
The resulting article on its surface is about Platner's ex girlfriends giving a range of reviews, some positive, most negative. But the main focus is on Lyndsey, who, the Times knew, would be written off among left-wing voters as a Republican operative trying to keep Susan Collins in the Senate. As Lyndsey explained this morning, the Times had details about his psychically abusive nature with other (presumably non-Republican) ex girlfriends, but for some reason chose not to publish them.
In this way, the story amongst Democrats can be more easily dismissed as a Republican hit job. Then thousands of progressive accounts, like the one below, unwittingly help complete the op.

While the world watches Iran’s highly enriched uranium, Tehran is sitting on nearly 21,000 lbs of lower enriched uranium that could be further enriched the moment the order is given.
Our latest research breaks it down. A very important report 👇
The explosion, which occurred near its single-buoy mooring (SBM) berths, was caused by an alleged drone attack, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Throughout the day, second and third-generation migrants have been rioting in central Brussels.
Public and private property is vandalized, fires are set and both the Belgian police and firefighters have come under physical attack.

Under this updated policy, when an individual is no longer in ICE custody then ICE will no longer be responsible for monitoring or reviewing deaths that may occur. This is common sense.
ICE is not responsible when an individual passes away weeks after leaving their custody.
@ICEgov remains committed to transparency regarding detainee deaths. This updated policy outlines procedures for timely notification, review and reporting of deaths occurring in ICE custody, including notifying next of kin, consulates, Congress and the public.
The same ideological contingent that demanded every university have a Star Chamber dedicated to bad-boyfriend prosecutions in 2015 is now asking, ‘Erm… So! He was a bad boyfriend? Why do you even care?’
A Texas homeowner got an unexpected surprise when he nearly walked into a small alligator on his porch in Fulshear. Police safely wrangled the reptile and relocated it to a nearby pond.
I just want to say to @spencerpratt that as a refugee who fled Commiefornia, you gave me so much hope for the city I love so much and no matter what happens just know…you’re always welcome here in Texas 😂
This guy turned every single text his HOA president sent him into a song.
Over the past year and a half, she’s been texting him nonstop about fines, videos he’s posting, eggs in the yard, signs on his lawn, his driveway, and even threatening to put a lien on his house. So instead of arguing with her, he had AI turn all her messages into a full song.
It’s honestly one of the most creative ways I’ve seen someone get back at an over-the-top HOA.
Be honest… would you turn your HOA president’s texts into a song?
“Doctors in London told a colleague they'd let a dying Israeli die in the ER rather than treat him. So he's leaving. So is a pediatrician, a GP, a heart surgeon in Montreal.
The Jews leaving the West aren't random. They're the ones who save your life at 2am.”

The combat surgeon talking points have gone out. But what does that have to do with the blind sheikh? Why did Hamawy testify in his defense at his trial over the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center?

I'm teaching my daughters that feminists and liberal women will NOT support them if they are abused by a left-wing man with any power
They will run the old familiar "you can't believe that bitch" playbook b/c, ultimately, they are religious zealots and their religion is politics
My God! Imaging bringing a victim forward at the 11th hour to try to derail someone's nomination, I mean election chances.

Oh, and she wasn't the only one who came forward.
@HRH_SHP i was at a party in Austin once and a (drunk) obgyn said that she would "creatively diagnose" white and/or conservative parents' babies in utero with all sorts of horrible problems in order to get them to kill the kid
So…. I’ve tried several ways to get ahold of @support or @nikitabier to get any information about my main account, @robprovince, being hacked last Saturday with no response. There is only one appeal process & you can only do it once. So I guess I’m just stuck in the water here.
