Graham Platner Proves the Left Loves Power, Not Women – Inside Sources

It appears we have finally found the Democrat Party’s red line for throwing a problematic candidate overboard: but it was not a Nazi tattoo, or sexually perverse declarations on Reddit, or an account on a dating social media platform geared toward adolescents, or openly fantasizing about raping anyone who breaks into his home, or even domestic violence against Republican women.

The red line, so far as anyone can tell, appears to be strongly supported rape allegations from an ideologically aligned woman who, tragically, did not want to be known as a rape victim but couldn’t let the credible women who previously told their stories be pushed aside by the Democrat Machine.

“I just want the truth out there,” Jenny Racicot told Politico. “I just want people to have a whole scope of who he is as a person.”

After months of steadfast Democrat support despite the mounting scandals, the calls for Platner to exit the race are coming from the same leaders who were willing to shrug off the Nazi tattoo (Sen. Bernie Sanders), explain away domestic abuse as “wrong and toxic” for which Platner “sought redemption” (Rep. Ro Khanna), and even declare that despite troubling behavior in the past, Graham Platner is “my kind of man” (Sen. Elizabeth Warren).

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee put out a joint statement by Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand that “the allegations reported today are incredibly disturbing – violence, abuse and sexual assault are absolutely unacceptable.”

But that wasn’t the tone Schumer took following the June 4 New York Times “catch-and-kill” article detailing, then downplaying, Lyndsey Fifield’s physical and emotional abuse by Platner. In fact, when asked about his support after the Times hinted at other potential women having sexual assault allegations against Platner, Chuck Schumer defiantly repeated to reporters, “I endorsed Graham Platner, we’re going to beat Susan Collins and take back the Senate.”

Because that’s what it’s always been about: taking back the Senate. Political power and control.

During the Brett Kavanaugh Senate Judiciary hearings, “believe all women” was the mantra du jour by Democrat Senators and Leftwing media commentators, because the goal was to stop Kavanaugh’s confirmation at all costs.

It didn’t matter that his accuser – Christine Blasey Ford – couldn’t muster basic details about the young Brett Kavanaugh; her high school best friend and character witness – Leland Keyser – put out a statement denying any knowledge of the incident; and her own father supported Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

It also didn’t matter that nothing in Brett Kavanaugh’s known past friendships, activities, or writings had ever reflected the potential of behavior for which he was accused.

The only thing that mattered to Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, and Kirsten Gillibrand back then was that they could destroy the reputation of a husband and father so convincingly that no one would support him, even while his wife and young daughters sat physically and emotionally devastated behind him.

And they never forgave Sen. Susan Collins for voting to confirm Kavanaugh.

In October 2018, Sen. Collins gave an impassioned Senate floor speech detailing her investigation into Kavanaugh’s judicial record, speaking with people who knew him personally, taking into account the misinformation against him and even the intimidation of her own staffers and threat at her home.

When Sen. Collins responded to the Left’s harassment by saying, “I will not live in fear. I will not be intimidated,” she sealed her fate with the Democrat Senators who serve alongside her.

Now, back to Platner. “Believe all women” is certainly over, because Susan Collins’ own colleagues willfully ignored a mountain of evidence of misogyny, abuse and violence against women in the name of taking her down.

Days after Platner announced his Senate bid in August 2025, his own wife approached the campaign with sexually explicit texts her husband had been sending other women early in their marriage to help alert the campaign of problems to come.

And yet, months of the drip-drip-drip of warning signs about a perverse and violently disturbed man were not enough to convince Democrat leaders to go in a different direction in their primary.

So, what changed?

Racicot only came forward with her detailed, and fact-supported, rape allegations after the Times’ story had its intended effect: the Times announced the allegations, downplayed the serious nature because the female accuser was a Republican, and glossed over other potential allegations, including sexual assault.

Racicot told CNN’s Jake Tapper, “there are a lot of men in this world relying on the silence of women to be where they are, and I don’t want to contribute to that.”

It turns out that plenty of women tried NOT to be silent about Graham Platner, but the Democrats and Leftwing media were determined to get “their kind of man” into the Senate to take back the power they so deeply crave.

The Democrat Machine was willing to ignore numerous women and is now only throwing Platner overboard because he is less likely to give them the gavel.

Perhaps that’s a warning to all voters the Democrats should not be trusted with that kind of power.
