Down on the Democrat Farm: Graham Platner

It would be hard to overstate the sheer vileness of the upcoming crop of Democrats. Consider their candidate for US Senator from Maine, Graham Platner.

In response to a video of an American soldier being shot four times by the Taliban, Platner posted the following on Reddit in 2019 — via Magdi Jacobs of the Editorial Board

“This video never gets old. Dumb motherf***er didn’t deserve to live. At least his stupidity and fat ass wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt. Poor marksmanship on the Taliban’s part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible sh** decision possible when it comes to small unit combat.”

The context:

The man that Platner is commenting on, by the way, is Pfc. Ted Daniels, who was a 37-year-old father of two serving in Afghanistan at the time of the incident (2012). The bad tactic Platner enjoys mocking? Daniels stepped into the open deliberately to draw Taliban fire away from his fellow soldiers so his squad could get to safety.

Imagine how much you would have to hate this country to put people like Platner in charge of it.

The Maine Monitor has the complete collection of his reddit posts:

The collection spans more than a decade — from when Platner was ages 24 to 37 — and provides a rare glimpse into the thinking of a candidate at a time when he betrayed no political ambitions and could not have known how future voters might have viewed his online commentary.

Platner stated outright at age 37:

“I got older and became a communist.”

He offered the following advice to women to prevent being raped:

“Holy f***, how about people just take some responsibility for themselves and not get so f***ed up they wind up having sex with someone they don’t mean to? Men and women, you make a choice to consume enough of a substance to lose your self control. So if you don’t want to be in a comprising situation, act like an adult for f***s sake.”

This from the guy who blames being drunk for getting a Nazi tattoo.

Considering the tattoo, no one will be surprised that Platner has referred to Israel’s self-defense against Hamas as “genocide” — a favorite talking point of the hard left and horseshoe right.

Twitchy asks regarding the Reddit revelations:

How is this not enough for Democrats to realize this is a bad guy?

Oh, it’s more than enough. That won’t stop them from voting for him.
