WASHINGTON, D.C. — Criticism is pouring in for Graham Platner after two new reports exposed him for mocking and demeaning U.S. service members ahead of Memorial Day. The Washington Free Beacon reported that Platner accused American Sniper Chris Kyle of killing innocent civilians to up his kill numbers and Fox News reported that Platner mocked a soldier shot by the Taliban, calling him a “dumb motherf***er” who “didn’t deserve to live.”
What they are saying:
Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR): “Graham Platner is a lying, antisemitic fraud who has no business serving in the Senate.”
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX): “Twisted & defamatory.”
Senator Tim Sheehy (R-MT): “Let’s see the courageous Democrat vets defend this one…can’t wait to hear it.”
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC): “To my Democrat colleagues: Raise your voice in condemning the most vile assault and slander in recent memory by a candidate for the U.S. Senate against an American soldier risking his life for our country. The soldier in question received the Purple Heart fighting our enemies. As to Platner, at what point does it become obvious this guy is unworthy and unfit to be dogcatcher, much less a member of the U.S. Senate? The bottomless pit of left-wing wackos just got deeper. Hopefully it’ll hit a wall when the good people of Maine reject Platner’s outrageous conduct on multiple fronts.”
Senator Rick Scott (R-FL): “This wasn’t a Netflix special. One of our troops got shot by enemy fire. This is disqualifying and completely screwed up.”
Rep. Pat Fallon (TX-04): “This room temp IQ scumbag is a total disgrace and has no business being anywhere near Congress.”
Rep. Derrick Van Orden (WI-03): “This Nazi tattooed raging asshole should be resoundingly condemned by every active duty military member and veteran. He is a disgrace to the uniform he previously wore and should be mocked and shamed.”
Rep. Pat Harrigan (NC-10): “If you mock the men and women who bleed for our country, you have no business representing them.”
Ari Fleischer, Former White House Press Secretary and Fox News Contributor: “If Platner is in possession of any weapons, they need to be taken away. This guys is nuts. And dangerous.”
Mark Levin, Host of The Mark Levin Show: “The Democrat-Nazi-Communist- pervert-America-hating candidate for Senate from Maine must be defeated in a landslide.”
