UM…There’s a new theory about the Dem race in Maine…

There’s a new theory about the Democrat race in Maine involving Graham Platner and I thought it was worth posting, considering the source.

There’s no way to know at this point if it will happen, but it’s definitely worth knowing because it is something Democrats like to do when they have a bad candidate (like Biden).

Here’s what Bill Shipley wrote a few minutes ago:

This is getting very curious. These influential voices are coming out on this point VERY LATE. The primary is June 9.

I do not think anything will happen in advance of the primary, and Platner is going to win with no real opponent still in the race.

BUT, under Maine law, if Platner were to drop out after winning the primary, he could be replaced by the Dems on the General Election ballot ONLY IF:

1. He drops out prior to the 2nd Monday in July, and
2. His replacement is named by the 4th Monday in July.

I think we are seeing the unfolding of a plan by the Dem. establishment OUTSIDE of Maine to begin a drumbeat for Platner to exit the race after the primary, and let the Party hand-pick a replacement for the General.

Pro-Tip — always read state law to figure out that plan that might be in the process of being hatched behind closed doors.

Veteran Who Graham Platner Said Didn’t ‘Deserve to Live’ Slams Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders for Backing Him 

Graham Platner, the Maine Democrat running for senate who has been plagued with multiple scandals calling his character into question, was recently exposed once again, for mocking a fellow war veteran and saying that he didn’t ‘deserve to live.’

That veteran is a man named Teddy Daniels and he just wrote an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, firing back at Platner for his comments.

This weekend, Daniels appeared on CNN and slammed not only Platner, but Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders for backing Platner, despite all of these awful remarks and controversies.

Transcript via Mediaite:

I kind of consider the source on that, first and foremost, and I’ll be honest with you, what really upset me about the comments is — you know, I can’t even say that I was upset. I’m upset about the comment that he made about Chris Kyle. You know Chris Kyle has kids. He’s not here to defend himself.

I have kids and you know with people like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders backing this man, I want them, I want Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders to — my youngest is 8, he turns 9 in a couple days — to tell my kids that they’re supporting a man who said their father didn’t deserve to live. I mean, think about that. You know, that’s the issue there. It’s just sad that somebody like this is being considered for a position in leadership in the United States Senate.

Platner’s brutal attacks on Army soldiers as ‘fat, lazy’ revealed in resurfaced posts

Graham Platner, the Democrat’s presumptive nominee for Senate in Maine, described the United States Army as “absolute trash” and “full of fat, lazy trash who would rather not be in uniform” in posts on his now-deleted Reddit account.

“I spent another 4 in the Army after the Corps, and while I was very lucky to serve in some sh–t hot units with good dudes, as a whole the organization is absolute trash,” Platner wrote in April 2019. “I am not one to totally bad mouth the Army. It does have some squared away fighting units and good guys, as well as some better doctrine here and there. But it is absolutely lacking in the warrior ethos and leadership obsession that the Corps has, and generally attracts a lower standard of person.”

The resurfaced posts include a separate 2019 comment about wounded Army veteran Teddy Daniels, who was shot by the Taliban and later awarded the Purple Heart. In that post, Platner criticized Daniels’ battlefield tactics and wrote that the “dumb motherf—er didn’t deserve to live.”

Platner’s comments about Daniels and other now-deleted Reddit posts — including posts in which he used slurs, demeaned white rural Americans and identified as a Marxist — have become a major campaign issue in the Maine Senate race, where he seeks to unseat GOP incumbent Sen. Susan Collins.

Democrat Senate Hopeful Graham Platner Admitted Taliban-Compromised Network Was Used for ‘Phone Sex’

Things keep getting more problematic for the Democrats, who have hitched their Senate hopes on Graham Platner, the candidate running to oust Susan Collins in Maine. Platner has a deeply troubling history of attacking police officers, dismissing rural Americans as racist, and blaming women for being victims of sexual assault, telling them to ‘grow up.’

Earlier, we learned that Platner had even more troubling Reddit posts, where he admitted to committing lewd acts in portable toilets. Here’s some of what Fox News Digital reported on that:

In one March 2017 post on Reddit’s r/Military forum, Platner responded to a discussion about nostalgic military smells by writing: “I still have to jerk off every time I sit in a portas—-er … that blue water smell conditioned me.” 

But Platner’s depravity goes far beyond the porta-potty. In fact, his sexual proclivities risked the safety of his fellow service members. 

In reporting exclusively to Townhall, additional unearthed Reddit posts reveal that Platner used a cell phone network infiltrated by the Taliban to have phone sex. 

Platner made the comments under the username P-Hustle, and he confirmed in October of last year that the account belonged to him. In January 2020, Platner posted that he used Roshan, an Afghan cell phone network, to have ‘phone sex’ with his girlfriend:

In 2010-2011, I was in Afghanistan as a rifle squad leader with the Army and I was blown away that everyone had cell phones and the command didn’t seem to remotely care. Hell, the unit I replaced gave me a Roshan phone with some minutes on it, which I totally used to have phone sex with my girl.

What This Graham Platner Adviser Just Said Will Leave You Aghast

I suppose you can’t criticize them for not avoiding the truth because they know Maine’s Graham Platner has baggage, but wow—what an academic and detached way of putting it.

Platner is expected to be the Democrat trying to unseat incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. There’s the Nazi tattoo, the training with groups similar to Antifa, and a range of disturbing Reddit posts that were reportedly homophobic, with some mocking PTSD. I’m sure you’ve read Amy’s wild post about Platner by now: the man admitted to using a network compromised by the Taliban for phone sex during his deployment in Afghanistan in 2010-11. And how does his political team explain this behavior? 

Well, he’s a real guy, and that’s what voters want.

“When real people run for office, that embodies the good parts of it. It also embodies the realities that people live real lives,” said top advisor Morris Katz on Katy Tur’s program on MS Now. 

Yeah, Katz man, more often than not, that’s led voters to reject the candidate you described. Also, the Democratic Party isn’t the working class party. It’s comprised of rich, smug, and overeducated white college kids.

Disgusting: Democrat Senate Candidate Graham Platner’s Deleted Reddit Posts Mock Wounded Soldier Who Drew Enemy Fire Away from His Squad: Says He ‘Didn’t Deserve to Live’

The Gateway Pundit has reported on the disturbing Reddit posts unearthed from far-left Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner, including crude sexual remarks.

The Gateway Pundit further reported that concerns about Platner, a 41-year-old Marine veteran turned radical leftist, arose last year after it was revealed that one of his tattoos resembles the infamous Nazi SS Totenkopf skull and crossbones, and the Redditt revelations have only increased concerns about his fitness and ability to serve in office.

News outlets have reported on additional posts by Platner, which show him mocking rural white people, calling himself a communist, and calling Jesus a “zombie.”

Crude comments aside, perhaps one of the most disturbing Reddit threads uncovered concerns his temperament and ability to lead following comments toward a fellow American military brother who was wounded and almost killed in action.

Per Fox News:

“This video never gets old,” the Reddit account “P-Hustle” — which Platner has acknowledged he owned — posted in June 2019, in reference to a viral video from the helmet cam of Pfc. Ted Daniels taken during a clash with Taliban fighters in 2012 that ended in Daniels being shot four times.

He earned a Purple Heart for his injuries.

“Dumb motherf—–  didn’t deserve to live.

At least his stupidity and fat a– wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt.

Poor marksmanship on the Taliban’s part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible s— decision possible when it comes to small unit combat.”

Although Platner mocked him, Pfc. Daniels, while serving in Kunar Province, Afghanistan, with the 4th Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, deliberately stepped into the open to draw Taliban fire away from the rest of his squad, which consisted of seven other soldiers.

So, the video that “never gets old’ for Platner is a brother in arms being shot multiple times by the Taliban and sustaining several injuries.

JD Vance Exposes $15 Million in Medicaid Theft by Single Migrant in Maine

Vice President JD Vance exposed the theft of $15 million in Medicaid funding committed by a single migrant in Maine during a visit to Bangor on Thursday.

“Fraud is exactly what happens when you’ve got a government that is not fighting for the American people but is fighting for fraudsters and illegal aliens. And it has to stop. And under the Trump administration, we are fighting it every single day,” Vance said speaking to a packed hanger at an event to boost former Gov. Paul LePage’s bid for Maine’s 2nd Congressional District.

Vance, who called the State of Maine the “bronze medalist” in fraud after California and Minnesota, went on to say that LePage highlighted the fraud, but then-Democrat Attorney General Janet Mills refused to prosecute such cases.

The Ohioan pointed to just one case where a migrant billed the state for millions to provide “interpreter services” for illegal aliens, but never provided any such services at all.

“Rakiya Mohamed was not a particularly upstanding citizen… she was providing zero services and collecting $15 million over a five year period that was going directly into her pocket,” Vance said.

According to the Bangor Daily News, Rakiya Mohamed, who was associated with a company called Bright Future Healthier You, fraudulently billed Medicaid for millions in services that were never provided. Mohamed was one of four who were indicted in the scheme. Others included company president Abdihamid Hassan and Abdifitah Abdi. All three are Somali migrants. A fourth employee, Asmo Dol, was also implicated, but the suspect passed away in June only a few months after she pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Rakiya Mohamed pleaded guilty in March to filing a false tax return.

Woke Couple Wakes Up to a Disgusting Surprise After Fleeing Texas for Maine Because of ‘Climate Change’

A left-wing couple who recently fled the great state of Texas for Maine because they were so concerned about ‘climate change’ received a nasty little gift one morning from a ‘new neighbor.’

The Bangor Daily News wrote a story on Monday about two people named Shawn and Sara Good, who moved to the town back in March.

The paper noted that Shawn and Sara had lived in Austin since 2006 and 2011, but had grown fed up with the sometimes crazy weather events.

Of course, the couple blamed the Texas state government for their inconveniences.

“We had a lot of reasons to move away from Austin, but the one that hit us the hardest was the weather,” Shawn told the Bangor Daily News. “We were facing our fourth catastrophic event in five years, and nobody was doing anything to address it.

But less than two months after setting down in the small city of roughly 33,000 residents, they woke up one late April morning to find someone had taken a dump on their front porch.

The person responsible had slept there overnight on outdoor furniture cushions and apparently found it proper to relieve himself like a wild animal.

This incident completely shocked the ‘tolerant’ couple, who obviously expected paradise. The clean-up afterward was no fun, either.

Democrats Say ‘Heil Platner!’

With the recusal of ancient Governor Janet Mills—she was just too normal to compete in today’s slippery-slope-to-totalitarianism Donkey Party—Maine’s Democrats are about to nominate a guy who generates more punchlines than a Don Rickles roast. He’s really got it all. He’s stupid, offensive, a spoiled rich kid, a commie, and so much more. His schtick is that he’s just a working-class oysterman, a stubble-bearded blue-collar guy who’s going to give all those billionaires who are oppressing Mainers what for. But when anybody thinks of him, they’re thinking of him as Herr Oberstoysterfuhrer.

You know, the guy with the Nazi tattoo.

Let’s understand that it’s not just a Nazi tattoo. It’s a Nazi tattoo, squared. The swastika was not enough for this guy. He had to take it to the next level. He had to go get the Totenkopf, which is the symbol of the guys who ran the concentration camps, ground into his pecs. He didn’t just get a pin from one of their caps and keep it in a drawer. It’s not on a T-shirt. He lay back and endured considerable physical pain to have somebody etch it into his skin forever. And again, it’s not enough for him to be showing solidarity with the Nazis as he goose-steps across the stage. He’s got to show solidarity with the specific Nazis who specifically murdered the Jews specifically. But see, that’s on-brand, because he doesn’t like the Jews very much. And Jews, don’t you feel special, because he doesn’t seem to like anybody. Thank you, Internet, where nothing ever dies. That’s how we know how he feels about blacks, gays, Christians, women who say “No,”and Mainers. Summing it up, he’s not a fan.

But hey, maybe we’re being a little hard on him. To be sure, he’s got some excuses about why it’s not his fault that he was running around with a Nazi tattoo for most of his adult life. After all, who among us hasn’t spent a couple of decades with a symbol of genocidal mass murder imprinted just underneath his right nipple? Well, all of us, but let’s hear Himmler out. He claims he had no idea what it was. Sure, for decades he had no idea what the thing he paid money for some guy to grind into he flesh was. When he saw “Schindler’s List,” whose happy ending ruined it for him, he must have thought it looked cool and failed to connect the dots.

Mills Drops Out In Maine Governor’s Race As Oysterman With Nazi Tattoo Becomes Democratic Frontrunner

Maine Gov. Janet Mills suspended her U.S. Senate campaign Thursday morning, citing a lack of financial resources.That’s the official explanation. The more accurate one is that the polls showed her trailing badly to Graham Platner, an oysterman from coastal Maine with no electoral experience. 

Mills had every structural advantage working for her: she’d already won a statewide election, had name identification, and the support of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. The writing was on the wall for weeks, but Mills’s exit from the race was her concession that all the momentum on the Democratic side was for Platner. 

Platner had long lapped Mills in polling and fundraising, and she’d stopped running television ads weeks earlier. Which means Platner will be the party’s nominee against Sen. Susan Collins in one of the most consequential Senate races of the 2026 cycle.

In 2007, Graham Platner got a Nazi Totenkopf tattoo on his chest. He kept it there for roughly 18 years. He claims he didn’t know what the symbol meant for nearly two decades. But there is significant evidence that he did, and that it was intentional. Platner amplified a social media post from Stew Peters, a neo-Nazi radio host the Anti-Defamation League has called “a prolific antisemite” who blames “‘the Jews’ for everything he believes is wrong with society” and who has openly called for a “final solution” to mass-deport American Jews. Platner deleted the post, but only after it got attention, not before. He also sat for a lengthy interview with antisemitic conspiracy theorist Nate Cornacchia, describing himself as a longtime fan. He has called the U.S.-Israel relationship “shameful” and praised a violent Hamas attack on Israel in 2014.
