UMVA has learned that explosive revelations about Graham Platner, the Democratic Socialist candidate vying for a U.S. Senate seat in Maine, have been flooding the headlines, leaving his reputation in tatters.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Platner's past has come under intense scrutiny, with disturbing comments resurfacing from his online activity. In a since-deleted Reddit post from 2020, Platner referred to law enforcement officers as 'opportunistic cowards' during the tumultuous Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots.
The comments were made in response to a post criticizing the Hancock County Sheriff's Department for seeking approval to purchase 'riot gear' amid rising tensions and violent protests across the state. Platner's remarks have sparked widespread outrage, with many questioning his character and suitability for public office.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Platner's Reddit handle, 'P-Hustle,' was used to post the incendiary comments on the R/Maine forum. The post, which has been preserved in an archive, shows Platner dismissing the sheriff's request as 'ridiculous' and lambasting law enforcement as 'opportunistic cowards.'
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that Platner's candidacy has been marred by controversy, including a Nazi tattoo that should have raised serious red flags about his judgment and values. Despite this, Democrats appear to be defending him, sparking concerns about their priorities and commitment to principle.
The backlash against Platner has been swift and intense, with many critics calling for him to drop out of the race. As the controversy continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Platner's actions have left a trail of damage and embarrassment in their wake.
