Collins Has Flaws. Platner Has a Totenkopf
On an almost daily basis, embattled candidate for U.S. Senate Graham Platner posts about his opponent being “spineless and corrupt.” This isn’t at all unheard of from a politician. It’s expected in the lead-up to Election Day. Platner is looking to unseat longtime Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME). But these claims about Collins fall especially flat given the extraordinary baggage Platner brings to the table.
TL;DR
- Graham Platner is running for U.S. Senate and has been criticizing his opponent, Sen. Susan Collins.
- Platner's criticisms are seen as particularly weak due to his own controversial past.
- He is accused of exhibiting "toxic masculinity" based on his words, actions, and former girlfriends' claims.
- Platner also has a Nazi symbol tattoo.
