Scandals surrounding Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner continue to unfold.
On Monday, The Gateway Pundit reported that rumors are swirling that he will drop out of the race after he abruptly canceled multiple town hall events ahead of a new damaging hit piece.
Later Monday, Politico released the latest Platner sex scandal regarding a woman who said that he raped her.
Following the latest scandal, some of his prior backers, including Democrat Senator Ruben Gallego and Democrat Rep Ro Khanna, withdrew their endorsements.
One of his prior girlfriends, 40-year-old Lyndsey Fifield, a Virginia conservative who dated Platner between 2013 and 2015, called him “cavalierly contemptuous of women’s emotions, of our ‘weakness.’
On Tuesday, Fifield addressed questionable reporting by The New York Times in their coverage of Platner and their claim that they “could not corroborate” the allegations, at least where she was concerned.
Fifield describes, in detail, the multiple contacts she provided to the outlet that could corroborate her timeline, as well as specific incidents detailing disturbing behavior. She provided friends, former roommates, and even other men she dated.
