Currently, Democrats appear to be divided into two camps over their Maine U.S. Senate candidate, Graham 'Would You Prefer to Visit Mein Kampf or Yours?' Platner. He's the nepo baby, phony baloney oysterfürher with the roguish twinkle in his eye, the Totenkopf tattoo emblazoned on his hairy chest, and noted for possessing quite a legendary way with the ladies.
Everyone's talking about it.
This has created a bit of division about the blustering blowhard's candidacy.
In the, 'Ooh, ICK' camp, the first line of detractors are the 'I told you so's.' Those stalwarts in the Democratic camp who kept saying, 'This guy's a dirtball. No one should touch him with a ten-foot pole,' citing that his own campaign manager resigned only ten months into the campaign, saying:
THIS GUY'S A DIRTBALL
What did she get for her honesty and the integrity it took to dump a good-paying gig?
Relentlessly attacked by power-mad Democrats and progressives, so hungry for a win, they were going to back the dirtball come hell or high water.
Carine Hajjar says Democrats knew who Graham Platner from the beginning:

MY KIND OF MAN
Well, she has to open a beer bottle for her husband, so what would she know?

Took a couple of days, but, well...
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, one of Graham Platner’s biggest supporters in the Senate, is now calling on him to drop out:

“Now more than ever we need leaders in Washington who reflect our values. There can be no tolerance for sexual assault. Working families are counting on Democrats…
Didn't take any time for the Mr New England Profiles in Courage in the Senate to skitter away like burnt cockroaches after tap-dancing around why a Nazi Platner was an a-okay kind of Democratic contender to begin with.
Who?
JUST IN: Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy has scrubbed his X account of all mentions of Graham Platner in hopes no one will remember he was a diehard early supporter. pic.twitter.com/hCW0yRsBEx

Sen Sheldon 'Whites Only In the House' no longer found the oysterboy's life story so appealing and removed his stamp of approval expeditiously as well.
REMINDER: Sheldon Whitehouse said Nazi rapist Graham Platner had a "wonderfully appealing local background and story" and he even gave him $10,000.

Big tent people closed those flaps real fast when a certain camel nosed underneath.
They still have them open for other Democratic Socialists of America/communist members who haven't been credibly accused of raping liberal women.
Then there's the other side of the divide, all of whom are firmly on the ICK train. Some are simply more coy about it than others.
Some, like Mrs Morning Joe, disguise their disgust at the brouhaha over the Platner breaking and entering and rape accusation as the defense of responsible journalism.
A woman who raises such a complaint against a Democratic candidate, according to noted investigative reporter Mika Brezinski, should at least have a police report to back up whatever she says happened, wouldn't you think?
How... irresponsible... to publish such a damaging story without law-enforcement corroboration... no?
Shame on Politico. That's all there is to it.
Morning Joe spends 5 minutes grilling Politico’s @adamwren for running a story on Platner’s ex accusing him of rape.

'Well, YEAH,' says noted feminist advocate and TV progressive wonk Ana Kasparian.
'If there's not a police report, we don't have to believe our candidate could have done anything.'
It’s amazing how these people manage to be consistently awful. All while pretending to be morally superior.

Just truly awful people. Shame on anyone who tries to pretend they have anything valuable to add. https://t.co/zXyu99WBqf
What frauds, and they are all women.
This revolting group is also trying to work their soothing group speak on the situation, suggesting it's a time for 'healing.' Only, not for the victims of Platner's overactive libido, monstrous sense of privilege, and thuggish lack of impulse control - oh, hay-yull, no.
This coven of vicious progressive enablers wants people to back off of PLATNER so HE can heal.
I'm sorry, did you just say PLATNER needs "time to heal"? pic.twitter.com/ejicFYMlH7

The shocking thing is that these apologists, all of whom were totally onboard with the undocumented and unverified bulls**t rape fantasies spun by Christine Blasey Ford and Jean Carroll, which had not a single shred of corroborating evidence - hell, it seemed neither woman could remember anything, conveniently - now suddenly need a police blotter notation for an accusation with accompanying documentation. Before they might 'believe' a woman.
Progressive women are the loudest protestors and first to be outraged about this sin or that, but if it impacts them adversely, they volte face to the most conniving, least moral, most cutthroat females I have ever met.
They can and will shiv you in a heartbeat if you are in the way.
BRAVO network's made a fortune off of it. The educated ones are even worse because they think their intellect can justify their behavior.
And over a scumbag like Platner. Holy crap.
Is it any wonder kids are so messed up these days?
Speaking of healing and Platner's family, has anyone seen his wife? She looked absolutely terrified in the last video I saw. One of those 'blink twice if you're frightened' hostage situations, like Beto's dog.
I'd believe her if she did.
We could get her out of there.
