Democrat Graham Platner, who is running for Senate in Maine and would face Sen. Susan Collins if he wins the upcoming primary, is facing new allegations. The New York Times reports some women who previously dated Platner say they saw disturbing behavior. Platner denies the allegations.
Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing new allegations this morning. The New York Times spoke with several of Platner’s ex-girlfriends, some of whom claim the Maine politician was “volatile and toxic” during their time together. The Times also spoke with several other former girlfriends who gave a different account of Platner, calling him a “gentle giant.” Platner has acknowledged a troubled past but denied any claims of physical violence. MS NOW congressional reporter Kevin Frey talked to voters in Maine about the latest controversy.
Greg Gutfeld unloads on Democrats during The Five as new allegations surrounding Graham Platner spark controversy and raise questions about political double standards. After many Democrats recently distanced themselves from Eric Swalwell over similar accusations, Gutfeld argues that their response to the Platner story exposes a glaring inconsistency. In this heated discussion, Gutfeld examines why some political figures are quickly condemned while others appear to receive protection from the same critics. The panel debates media coverage, partisan loyalty, accountability, and whether Democrats are applying different standards depending on who is involved. Watch as Greg Gutfeld breaks down the controversy, challenges the media narrative, and highlights what he sees as another example of political hypocrisy in Washington.
@cnnDemocratic voters in Maine are grappling with new allegations against Senate candidate Graham Platner while debating whether he remains their strongest contender against Republican Senator Susan Collins in the 2026 Senate race. CNN’s Danny Freeman reports.
JAMES CARVILLE ADMITTED THE DEMOCRAT DOUBLE STANDARD ON LIVE TV: NAZI TATTOO IS FINE IF YOU’RE THEIR GUY!
Jake Tapper pressed James Carville on CNN about Graham Platner, the Maine Democrat running for Senate with the Nazi SS Totenkopf tattoo on his chest.
Tapper: “What would you say to a Republican who says if a Republican combat veteran had a Nazi tattoo, you wouldn’t be so forgiving?”
Carville: “It’s true. I would say you’re exactly right.”
Carville then added that if it were a Republican, he’d never vote for him, but quickly pivoted to claiming the real danger to America is President Trump.

Remember when Democrats believed unsubstantiated claims of rape & sexual misconduct against then Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanagh? They insisted we must “believe all women”. But it’s a double standard for Graham Platner. Nothing to see here, folkspic.twitter.com/hOjI1ACFyA

Sunny Hostin: It’s disheartening that people look the other way and vote for Trump, despite his behavior. Selfish. Despicable and un-American.
Also Sunny Hostin: Democrats have to take back power. If I lived in Maine, I’m holding my nose and voting for Platner.

The definitive example of this dissonance is Chris Murphy vs Chris Murphy
He said Elon’s “Heil Hitler salute” represented a “dangerous moment in American political history”
He brushed off Platner’s tattoo as a “human being who made a mistake” and added that he’s polling well https://t.co/3j3sSwWJC3 pic.twitter.com/daUaHCqsKr

Senator Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) is just making explicitly clear the official anti-Nazi policy of the Democratic Party that Democrats are only opposed to Nazis when it’s Republican Nazis. pic.twitter.com/p3i2n5ROC2

2018. This is the kind of rage Democrats expressed over the uncorroborated allegations against Kavanaugh by Blasey Ford.
Elizabeth Warren has endorsed Platner.

My favorite interview genre right now is watching Democrats attempt to run on superior morals and higher standards of conduct, then get asked about Platner.
The immediate switch to dodge and deflection mode is hysterical.
