Platner Under Fire Over New Assault Claims | Global News
Description
Maine’s Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Platner is under fire after new sexual assault allegations surface from a former partner, adding to a mounting scandal that includes a Nazi-symbol tattoo, offensive social media posts, and explicit texts sent outside his marriage. The accuser claims Platner entered her home uninvited, assaulted her while intoxicated, and she cut off contact afterward — a claim echoed by other former partners describing his volatile behavior. Prominent Democrats, including Donna Brazile and Reps. Gallego and Khanna, are demanding he drop out, and the Maine Democratic Party has officially called for his withdrawal. With the race against Republican Senator Susan Collins seen as pivotal for Senate control, Platner’s next move could shake the entire campaign.
