I hope he brings down the entire machine that targeted him with an enormous civil lawsuit.

So ultimately Mainers in particular, and Americans in general are the victims of any slander or libel as well.

Nepo babies seldom serve in the military much less so in combat.

Platner was a 1st time candidate winning 72% of the vote many of them former voters of Collins in previous elections.

Collins didn't want to face him anymore than *rump wanted to face Bernie in 2016.

He will forever be painted and seen as a rapist without ever having the chance to clear his name in a court of law. Ms Racicot is clearly not interested in pressing charges. As well, justice in a court of law does not appear to be Cheyenne Hunt the lawyer's main motivation. Interesting that instead of the police, she encouraged the accuser to go to Politico instead. And then coordinated with them in a frenzy of meetings and phone calls to facilitate the just in time publishing. In fairness, Poltico and police sound alike and they even start with the same letter, right? Who else Ms Hunt coordinated with is not hard to imagine. The same people who, according to the video, descended on Maine to dig up dirt and called incessantly at least 3 MS-NOW hosts declaring they are targeting Platner who must go.

The Politico story was immediately followed by disgusting, targeted, mob-like pile-on and slander/libel (or rather MORE of it) and within hours Schumer and Gillibrand dropped the hammer and even declared Platner's campaign will get no funding.

Mission Accomplished.

Not that most of us know what power is, but it seems addictive. Destructive.

I always thought Platner was going to be taken down, one way or another. No Democratic candidate has ever said the things he did or built such a movement opposed to the status quo.

Swalwell was allowed to run amok for years and no one did a damn thing. For Platner, it was all hands on deck in a coordinated attack. Just as Platner said.

Those responsible may not be celebrating their "win" for long. Though they seem to be still at it with the new crop, the signs are already showing.
