Platner may wake voters up -

 Don Surber  

"The DC Establishment blames the openly communist wing of their communist party for their imbroglio. To be sure Bernie, Pocahontas and the rest (save AOC) promoted the Nazi."


"A month ago, Democrats in Maine nominated Graham Platner and his Nazi tattoo (now covered up) as their Senate candidate. The party hoped that they could dress up as a working class hero someone expelled from a private school as a teen who grew up to be a ne’er-do-well.
"Megan McCardle tweeted:
Platner is a private school screwup, of a type familiar to people who went to private school. The fact that he was cast as a man of the people by elites, while the working class rejected him, seems kind of emblematic of the whole progressive project right now.
"She also said:
People in NYC used to say that Trump was “a poor person’s idea of a rich person”—which was supposed to be a dunk and actually described his political appeal. Dems trying to tap that same populist energy instead selected a rich person’s idea of a poor person.

 "Spot on. Graham Platner is who Democrats believe a working class man is—a Nazi in a wife-beater T-shirt with tattoos.

"They cast him as a Marine combat veteran who raises oysters, which is true but they left out the good part of the story—mocking a soldier being shot, a plausible claim of assault, and disparaging blacks, women and fellow veterans online.
"After Democrats nominated him, the rest of the story resurfaced like a log you cannot flush down. They knew they had a problem as Republicans held back their oppo research until October.
"The New York Times tried to inoculate him with a story about Lyndsey Fifield, one of his alleged assault victims—a story in which the newspaper tried to smear the woman as a Republican operative.
"All that was missing was James Carville saying, drag a thousand-dollar bill through a cul de sac and there’s no telling what you get. Inflation has Grover Cleveland replacing Ben Franklin. It’s all about the Grovers now." . . .
"No matter whom Democrats choose as the replacement, it is up to Mainers to decide whether nominating a Nazi is OK. Louisiana had no problem saying no to a klansman when David Duke won a Republican nomination for governor of Louisiana."

Was he vetted and approved by Bruce? 


In the wake of the Graham Platner scandals, we mustn’t forget the danger posed by James Talarico   
"But I’ll let other people write about Mr Platner and his troubles. I am more concerned about 2026 Democratic senatorial nominee James Talarico of Texas. We have previously noted Mr Talarico, a seminarian with the Presbyterian Church USA. Mr Talarico pretends to be tells us that he is a devout Christian, but he supports prenatal infanticide, using the story of the Annunciation (Luke 1:26-38) as a supposedly Christian argument for it, supports “trans children”, and The Advocate, a ‘magazine’ which supports homosexuality and transgenderism, has said the candidate “has positioned himself as a fierce queer ally, even using the Bible to advocate in favor of LGBTQ+ rights.'” . . .
