Just when you thought the rats couldn't go any lower or put another racist Jew hater in congress, they prove you wrong again.
The party of love, acceptance and "co-exist" strikes again! Way to go rats! No, really!
He has disparaged the mentally challenged, the queer crowd, black people and rape victims. What a classy guy who is defended by his party's leaders.

Graham Platner, a progressive running for Republican Sen. Susan Collins’ seat in Maine, currently holds a rather substantial lead over his Democratic primary opponent, Maine Gov. Janet Mills. A poll released April 7 found that he leads Mills by an eye-popping 33 points. Other polls have consistently shown Platner pulling ahead by a wide margin.
A former Marine and oyster farmer, Platner is running an anti-establishment, anti-billionaire campaign. Among other things, he wants to break up monopolies, make major reforms to the healthcare system, cut off aid and weapons to Israel, and pass a “cost-of-living” tax cut that will be paid for by increased taxes on billionaires.
Yet, for all his populist bona fides, he has repeatedly been under fire for past remarks that have resurfaced throughout his campaign.
He used the word “retarded” in an interview with The Maine Monitor.
In October 2025, after Mills launched her own campaign, a series of previously deleted Reddit posts written by Platner was leaked. Writing under an online pseudonym, “P-Hustle,” Plater had described himself as a “communist,” called “all” police officers “bastards,” and, perhaps worst of all for a campaign that seeks to win over so many rural voters, smeared rural white Americans as racist and stupid. In another 2013 Reddit exchange, Platner questioned “why black people don’t tip.”
“I work as a bartender and it always amazes me how solid this stereotype is … Every now and again a black patron will leave a 15–20% tip, but usually it [is] between 0–5%. There’s got to be a reason behind it, what is it?” he asked.
Platner has drawn criticism for numerous Reddit posts about gay people, writing in August 2018, “Betcha not a single downvoter is a real combat vet. Feel free to back it up with facts, fags.” He also previously said that sexual assault victims should “just take some responsibility for themselves” and “act like an adult for fucks sake,” and defended a fellow Marine who had urinated on a dead Taliban fighter.
“Out of curiosity, what would you say to the many Marines and Soldiers who took trophies and desecrated bodies while fighting the Japanese?” Platner reportedly wrote. “I find the urinating on bodies is a poor choice, but only because of the current state of media affairs. It’s amusing that today killing a man isn’t worthy of comment, but God forbid you display dominance. Only 50 years ago, and for the rest of the history of warfare, this stuff was pretty standard.”
Still, Platner has his defenders among the anti-establishment left, most notably Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
“He went through a dark period. He’s not the only one in America who has gone through a dark period. People go through that. He has apologized for the stupid remarks, the hurtful remarks that he made, and I’m confident that he’s going to run a great campaign and that he’s going to win,” Sanders said of Platner’s tattoo in October 2025.
