Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner admits using 'indefensible' antigay slurs in unearthed Reddit posts

[Jack Valentino]

21. Yeah, it's too much for me anymore--- and I was initially excited by his candidacy

as a 'real working man'--- but too many skeletons are coming out of the closet at this point...


It's possible that the general electorate of Maine might not be offended by all of this,
but the Democratic electorate certainly will be....

It's a sad spectacle--- he sabotaged himself long before he became a candidate--
it's possible he didn't even remember some of the things that he posted,
but "the internet is forever"!

I might have a similar problem if I ever again ran for office,
with things I have posted on the inter-webs---
but in my case they would have to do with my extreme hatred of Republicans,
and not slurs against segments of our own party base!

Yeah, Republicans have posted much worse things, but we are not Republicans!
I'm ready to believe that the Democratic primary for US Senator from Maine
is just about over! I won't be supporting this guy anymore.
