Graham Platner, the Democratic Socialist (communist) running for U.S. Senate in Maine, has some serious problems. In addition to the Nazi tattoo, the vile Reddit comments, and now a sexting scandal, the ladies of The View are turning on him.
How bad of a Democrat candidate do you have to be to lose the support of the hosts of The View? These people will defend a Democrat for anything, but even they are backing away now.
Did a memo go out on the left that it’s time to dump this guy? How else can this be explained?
This is what Alyssa Farah Griffin said, via Mediaite:
To be honest, his sexting is the least of my concern. Graham Platner trashed a Purple Heart recipient — said he didn’t deserve to live — defamed fallen Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, downplayed how hard it is to report sexual assault in the military, repeatedly used anti-gay slurs and homophobic posts as recently as 2021, called himself an avowed communist, and has a Nazi tattoo for 20 years he has since covered up. This guy seems like a guy of not very good character. And there are a lot of options in this country and other paths for Democrats to win. Just win a different state. You need four seats. Look at Alaska, Iowa, look at Texas. Don’t die on the hill of a guy who is going to be a headache for years to come.
Then Sunny Hostin chimed in:
“Yeah, you know, I am conflicted,” Hostin said. “They asked Cory Booker how he felt about this because, I think all the allegations are true. The sexting with other women while married is definitely true because his wife…disclosed it. Why would she lie about that? So, that part is true.”
Hostin continued, “He’s also made racist remarks against African Americans. So he’s a cheater, he’s an antisemite — because the fact that he had that tattoo for 20 years and ‘didn’t know what it was’ is a lie. So he’s a liar, a racist, an antisemite…he’s a homophobe. So, he’s all the things, and character does matter.”
Watch the video, this is very surprising:
Graham Platner got his five minutes of fame on The View today….safe to say the ladies were not impressed.
“This man should be nowhere near Congress.”
“he’s a cheater, he’s an anti-semite…he’s a liar, a racist….a homophobe….character does matter.”

If you’re a Democrat and even The View is saying stuff like this about you, you’re probably toast.
Don’t be surprised if this guy eventually drops out of the race.
