Stick a Fork in Graham Platner, He's Done
Matt Margolis | 9:15 PM on June 04, 2026

If Maine Democrats were already nervous, they should be in full panic mode now. Just days after Graham Platner sat down with Senate Democrats and told them straight to their faces that nothing new would come out about him, the New York Times dropped an investigative report that should be the end of his candidacy.

The Times relied on more than two dozen sources, including six of Platner’s former romantic partners, whose stories are backed up by texts, social media messages, and diary entries. The picture that emerged was rather ugly: heavy drinking, serial infidelity, emotional abuse, and physical intimidation.

Platner promised his party this moment would never arrive. He lied.

Lyndsey Fifield, who dated Platner from 2013 to 2015, described a relationship soaked in contempt. She says he used crude slurs against women, juggled overlapping relationships, and got physically rough in ways that left marks. She told the Times that Platner twisted her arm behind her back, shoved her into a bedroom, and held the door shut until she was "calm."  Her 2016 diary entry called him "the most toxic, literally abusive man on earth who destroyed my life." Friends who knew her during the relationship back up her account.

It gets worse. Fifield recalled Platner making a specific, repeated statement: "If anybody ever broke in here, I would rape them," clarifying it would be "not in a sexual way, not in a gay way," but to show dominance.

And, of course, there was the truth about the Nazi tattoo. Platner has publicly claimed that he had no idea what it meant and that he covered it up once someone told him. But he knew exactly what it was.

I saw some posts from Lyndsey Fifield on X, and she's fuming at the NYT!  They told her there were other victims of Platner, and even put her in contact with two of them, but The Times made no mention of them in their lead-off stories, while publishing Ms Fifeld's name, which led her into harassment and death threats from Democrats out to protect Platner. 

The newspaper of record did her no favors!

Last night I was sure Platner would not last the weekend...I am not so sure anymore.

They screwed her like a tied up goat.

Apparently Platner's lawyers threatened the NYTs into watering down the article and removing those other names, hanging her out to dry because of her association with the Republican Party.

Fetterman is definitely his own person, and DEM or not, that is one of the things that I do like about him.

Same here.  He's still a lefty liberal, but he doesn't seem quite as looney as some of them anyway.

He's doing more damage to the Democrats than Oz could have.
