The Democrats, those sanctimonious hypocrites who profess to be guardians of democracy, have couped another of their candidates, just as soon as it looked like his election prospects were slipping due to scandal after scandal.
Understand, Democrats were willing to overlook many Graham Platner failings, from a Nazi tattoo, to hateful online posts by him including one saying a Purple Heart recipient deserved to have been killed not wounded, to the fact they were perfectly happy to put all the Me Too bluster in the background when woman after woman accused Platner of sexual misconduct.
Graham Platner: Sounds like some sort of hernia, or fruity drink in a gay bar (he did have fantasies about raping men who might break into his house), or maybe an early 20th-century, now-defunct, auto manufacturer.
Henceforth, Graham Platner will go down as the name for any gutless type who might have strutted briefly on the Democrat stage, enabled by the usual suspects, until collapsing into a puddle of self-indulgent tears.
As long as he was doing fine in the polls, his questionable conduct was A-OK. Bernie backed him. Pocahontas Warren said he was her kind of guy. Blah, blah, blah
Bless their black hearts, it’s their way.
Recall when the Democrat elites fixed it for Shrillary Clinton vs. Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democrat primaries. Bernie took it and kept quiet. Perhaps he got another house as a consolation prize.
Then, in 2020, those same types fixed it to get Joe Biden the nomination, so that he could hide in his basement and run against Donald Trump, whom Democrats were doing their best to kneecap by shutting down the economy with over-hyped COVID hysteria.
Biden won, and proved for much of four years he was not up to the job mentally. That was OK with the Democrats, until Joe proved to the public he was non compos mentis in that ill-fated 2024 debate with Trump.
The Democrat hounds of hell, with behind-the-scenes work by King Barack Hussein Obama, forced Biden out and installed Cackling Kamala in the nominee spot that Biden had won the old-fashioned way, by getting primary votes.
Now, Platner is gone, leaving the race in a maudlin, tearful video announcement painting himself as a victim, not the abuser. Predictably, he denied all the allegations.
Said Pennsylvania Democrat Senator John Fetterman on a Fox interview afterward: “The trash took itself out.”
Fetterman was the rare exception, a Democrat who was not willing to overlook Platner’s many failings in the hope that he could defeat sitting Republican Senator Susan Collins.
I cannot over-emphasize how pathetic Platner was in his video. Where was the bold, overconfident, socialist-communist candidate? It was a lengthy pity party by a whiny character.
Now, the Democrats will install someone else and pray they can keep that candidate’s foibles secret until after the general election in November.
But, none of the Democrats deserve a pass on this Platner debacle. The high-profile types like Sanders and Pocahontas Warren showed an incredible lack of awareness in endorsing and supporting Platner even as his world was collapsing.
Do we really trust them to do the nation’s business? When do they apologize, even resign?
And what of the 70-some percent of the Democrat electorate who voted for him in the primary, even after many scandals had been revealed?
This is a sick party, from the roots to the tippy-top.
Democrat elites are counting on those useful idiots again to forget all that has transpired and vote blindly for whomever the Democrats install as their candidate.
Sadly, those elites are likely to be proven correct – once again.
