ME-SEN: Maine's Platner says the worst is behind him
Graham Platner, the embattled Maine Democratic Senate candidate, said he doesn’t expect more damaging stories to come out about his social media history, even as he invited opponents to “go find more stuff” if they can.
After a wave of reports detailing problematic Reddit posts tarnished his insurgent campaign in a highly competitive Senate battleground, Platner said in a podcast interview released Monday there isn’t anything “worse” or “different” than the posts revealed in recent days.
“There is nothing that I can remotely think of that is out there that is any worse, or really any different, than what has come out,” Platner said in a ‘Pod Save America’ interview. “I mean, if that is their concern, then they can go find more stuff.”
Platner responded to questions about some of the controversial comments he made prior to running for office, including 2013 posts in which he downplayed the problem of sexual assault in the military.
