Graham Platner Hit with Yet Another Controversy Over Graphic Reddit CommentsGraham Platner Hit with Yet Another Controversy Over Graphic Reddit Comments
Mariane Angela 23 Jun 2026
Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing yet more scrutiny after archived social media posts surfaced containing graphic remarks, controversial political statements, and comments about military veterans.
The posts, recovered from Platner’s former Reddit account and reviewed by multiple outlets, remained accessible through internet archives despite efforts to remove much of his online activity. Among the material drawing attention was a response Platner posted in 2014 to an online discussion asking users to share offensive jokes.
Under the username P-Hustle, Platner responded to a Reddit prompt asking users to share “the most f*cked up, jaw-dropping, offensive joke you know?”
Platner replied with a joke that referenced incest, bestiality, and necrophilia.
“I was eating out my grandmother and it tasted like horse cum,” Platner wrote. “So that’s how she died…”
Additional archived posts showed Platner making sexually explicit remarks in various online discussions. In one thread, he wrote about associating the smell of portable toilets with masturbation. In another, he praised a drawing of male genitalia using graphic language.
One of the posts that generated significant attention dated back to 2013, when Platner weighed in on a discussion thread titled “shorts that prevent you from being raped.”
Responding to the post, Platner said:
Holy bleep, how about people just take some responsibility for themselves and not get so bleep up they wind up having sex with someone they don’t mean to? Men and women, you make a choice to consume enough of a substance to lose your self control. So if you don’t want to be in a comprising situation, act like an adult for bleep sake.
