The Erick Erickson Show - Always Somebody Else's Fault
Description
Erick Erickson broadcasts live from Las Vegas and dives deep into the dramatic collapse of Graham Platner's Senate campaign in Maine. Platner officially drops out amid a flood of sexual misconduct allegations, unhinged rants, and media fallout — exposing the Democratic Party's poor vetting and desperate search for anti-establishment fighters.
Erick discusses the broader anti-establishment wave on both sides of the aisle, why character still matters in politics, the disconnect between party elites and voters, and the dangers of the far-left's influence on the Democratic base. Plus, listener calls on an Open Line Thursday.
Topics include:
- Platner's pattern of behavior and media complicity
- Democratic Socialists vs. establishment Democrats
- Why good candidates sit on the sidelines
- Lessons from Trump's 2016 rise and current party fractures
