15 Reasons Why Democrats Should Have Rejected Graham Platner

Rapid Response

From Elizabeth Warren to Hasan Piker, Democrats have fully embraced Graham Platner, and it's a mistake.



Here are 15 reasons why Democrats flopped by embracing Platner:


  1. Says women should "act like an adult" to avoid rape
  2. Says “black people don’t tip”
  3. Calls all cops “pigs” and “bastards”
  4. Says rural Mainers are “racist and stupid”
  5. Calls himself a communist and advocates for closer cooperation with China
  6. Mocks the idea of women reporting rape in the military 
  7. Praises Hamas terrorists for murdering Israeli soldiers
  8. Slanders Republicans as “fascists” 
  9. Says Democrat Shutdowns are “good”
  10. Says he doesn’t “love” America anymore
  11. Calls Jesus a “zombie” and Virgin Mary a “skank”
  12. Says violence with a gun is necessary
  13. Supports men in girls’ sports
  14. Calls Maine’s lobstermen “pieces of shit"
  15. Has a Nazi tattoo

Platner is far too extreme for Maine â€” once again proving just how out of touch Democrats remain.
