Graham Platner's brain-dead baloney is the REAL scandal
David Harsanyi
Set aside, for a moment, that Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner spent years with a Nazi SS Totenkopf tattoo on his chest.
Set aside that he blamed sexual assault victims for their predicament, or that he called rural white Americans stupid racists, or that he advocated political violence, or that he mocked a wounded Purple Heart recipient, or that he joked about the Virgin Mary being a “skank,” or that he joined a hookup site while married.
Who among us is a saint, after all?
The more interesting question is why Democrats have shown such loyalty to him.
After hearing so much about Platner’s everyman appeal, I went down a rabbit hole, watching his speeches and listening to his interviews.
Virtually every one of them is crammed with brain-numbing platitudes and freshman-level socialist sloganeering.
His rhetoric makes former Vice President Kamala Harris sound weighty by comparison.
