Graham Platner’s scandals are just another point of contention exposing the ideological battle in Democrats’ messy Minnesota Senate primary.
D.C. Democrats’ pick, Angie Craig, only condemned Platner after a rape allegation against Platner surfaced once her boss, Chuck Schumer, and the Democrats’ Senate campaign arm instructed her to do so.
An hour later, Bernie Sanders-backed Peggy Flanagan finally called on Platner to withdraw. Following Sanders’ orders, Flanagan had remained quiet throughout every scandal.
Flanagan and Craig have refused to denounce every Graham Platner scandal, including:
- Multiple women accusing Platner of abuse, harassment, and threatening behavior.
- Telling rape victims to “take some responsibility for themselves and not get so f*cked up they wind up having sex with someone they don’t mean to.”
- Using an active account on the “predator’s Paradise” app, Kik.
- Mocking a U.S. solider shot by the Taliban saying, “dumb motherf*cker didn’t deserve to live.”
- Calling rural white Americans racist and stupid.
- Had a Nazi tattoo that he referred to as “my Totenkopf” for years.
- Saying that cops are “opportunistic cowards” and “bastards.”
“Even something as horrible as rape allegations has Democrats divided in Minnesota. Flanagan is beholden to her socialist kingmakers and Craig only takes orders from her D.C. handlers,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Nick Puglia.
