Once upon a time, Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand happily endorsed Graham Platner for the Democrat nomination for Senator from Maine after Janet Mills withdrew from the primary race. They thought this Democrat Nazi was an excellent choice to run against RINO Senator Susan Collins in the Fall.
Now, they are calling on Platner to “immediately withdraw” from the Maine Senate race after the embattled Democratic candidate was accused of rape by an ex-girlfriend.
“The allegations reported today are incredibly disturbing – violence, abuse and sexual assault are absolutely unacceptable,” the New York Democrats said in a statement released by the DSCC.
“Graham Platner needs to immediately withdraw as the Democratic nominee for Senate and allow Maine Democrats the opportunity to choose a new candidate who can defeat Susan Collins,” Schumer and Gillibrand continued.
They publicly backed Platner even after he met with Senate Democrats on Capitol Hill last month following bombshell reports in The New York Times and Wall Street Journal about the former oyster farmer’s suggestive texts with at least six women.
They were so blinded by their need to win this Senate seat that they ignored all the warning signs Platner freely revealed before and during that primary. And afterwards, too.
Doesn’t say much for their evaluation and vetting of their candidates. Does it!?
Most recently, Jenny Racicot, Platner’s ex-girlfriend, alleged in a Politico piece published Monday that the Maine Senate hopeful drunkenly broke into her home and raped her about five years ago.
But it took until now for Schumer and Gillibrand to grow a spine and join many other Democrats to call on Platbrt to step aside. As usual, Schumer, the Minority Leader, stuck a finger in the air to see which way the political wind was blowing. Then, he humpfed up like a big shot to act like he had a pair.
It is time for New Yorkers to send these two failures out to pasture before they can do any more harm to the State and the Country.
