Lawrence is saying Platner is a nepo baby

[WSHazel]

Platner could not be more full of s***. Outsider my ass.

[RandySF]

1. I don't know about "nepo" but Platner's a rich kid.

But he’s also an accused rapist. It’s over.

2. Went to Hotchkiss School - verrrrry Prep. . .

. . .and exclusive and expensive AF.

10. When I pointed that particular fact out during the primary campaign, I

was told, "oh, but he was there on a scholarship, so it doesn't count as privilege". Ii wanted to throw up. I went to a private college on scholarships, and I damn well recognized it for the privilege that it was, in terms of the education I received.

5. Lawrence is on it...

He's never felt he needed to cover him before now but he is now. And he has done his homework. If platner watches this, he should be ashamed of himself and step down now. As Lawrence said, "... has not been humbled enough, yet."

Worth the watch, 2 segments.

7. A rich kid worth $300,000 including his home.

And his mother owns TWO restaurants and a flower shop!

But you're right. It's over. All except for the pile-on.

By tomorrow morning we might wake up to find out he was a Thiel plant to divide Democrats or that he's actually an alien spawn of Satan.

13. Father was a lawyer and

Grandfather a famous architect. Went to prep schools and took "gap years" to go backpacking across Europe. Definitely just regular working class lifestyle.

He was and is a FRAUD, and that's one of his better traits.

14. How a Rich Kid Politician Was Spun as a Working Class 'Oysterman'

Graham Platner’s takeover of an existing oyster business was actually funded by a $20,000 grant from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, a Greek billionaire’s nonprofit, and by his mother, Leslie Harlow, a local businesswoman who owns two restaurants and a gift shop in the area.

The Niarchos Foundation grant that helped finance Graham Platner’s business was supposed to be for small businesses owned by “underserved groups” without “access to capital” like “people of color, women, and veterans as well as those in lower-income communities”.

While Platner was a veteran, he came from a wealthy family and his business was not recovering from the pandemic. The progressive maxed out the $20,000 grant and took money that the Niachos Foundation had intended should go to help black people to build his business.

If you believe Graham Platner, he joined a war he didn’t believe in, then he dropped out because he didn’t believe in it, then he decided to believe in it some more, and then stopped believing in it a few years later, and now he’s running against a war that he switched between being for and against so many times that it would have given John Kerry whiplash.

15. Platner is a POS and has to go, BUT your reply article's author, Daniel Greenfield, is hardcore RWer, a Dem-basher,

a David Horowitz style hateful agitprop-pusher, a racist and an Islamophobic MAGAt.

Dismaying to see this motherfucker posted here on DU.

What Do I do?

My original ‘Sultan Knish’ blog was founded in 2005 and 31 million views later, several transformations later, it’s still here. My beat at the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s Front Page Magazine, its blog, The Point, and everything I do is fueled by the conviction that truth matters. I cover everything from the Left's war on America at home to Islamic terror abroad. I was named a "hate group of one" by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The SPLC may not have been too happy that I caught them faking statistics.

From exposing Biden's theft of money from 9/11 victims to fund the Taliban to surveying the Most Corrupt Village in America to racial quotas in the military to being among the first to break the story of government mandates causing widespread COVID deaths in nursing homes, I cast a wide net.

I delved into Jihadists in the Biden administration, showed Facebook uses UN regulations to censor conservatives, including President Trump, how the CDC Deputy Director helped cover up COVID deaths and documented how Biden's funding of terrorism killed Israelis. Including money sent before the Oct 7 attacks.

Around the world, I document the hard truths about diversity terror migration, in depth pieces on terrorist attacks in Europe, across Israel and right here in this country. I have appeared on the shows of Tucker Carlson, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck and many others. "You are one of many people who have given me feedback that my reading and interpretation of that piece by Daniel Greenfield was of profound enlightenment," Rush Limbaugh said of my writing.

My first book, 'Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers' Fight Against the Left' told the untold story of the rise of the American Left.

3. Lawrence showed how much of a fiction Platner's "everyman oysterman" persona happens to be...

...and how authenticity isn't Platner's strong suit. Lawrence took the bark off him.

[Nixie]

4. That was total exposure. Silver spoon guy!

Lawrence laid it all out, wow.

[Maru Kitteh]

6. I respect LOD's consistency and rationality. He seems the real deal.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

8. Lawrence was amazing tonight

I am going to rewatch Lawrence again tonight

[Nixie]

12. Same here. That was a masterclass takedown. I took the

word masterclass from Simone Sanders lead-in tonight while talking to Lawrence. It just fits his segment so perfectly. Definitely going to watch that again.

[3catwoman3]

9. That was Lawrence at his cold, steely, quiet fury best

Brutal.

[ABC123Easy]

11. Lawrence is correct.

Trust fund kid, nepo baby, born on 3rd base thought he hit a triple, etc.....
Platner is the definition of this. A big reason why I couldn't believe what he was saying. I feared another Fetterman.
