Unearthed Posts Show Dem Senate Hopeful Praising Vulgar Graffiti, Making Crude Porta Potty Admission

WARNING: SOME VILE LANGUAGE FROM THIS DEMOCRAT HOPEFUL. READER DISCRETION ADVISED


GOP strategist calls the years-long trail of posts a 'character issue' ahead of a potential race against Susan Collins.

Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner of Maine released a video of himself with a tattoo of what appeared to be a Nazi symbol on "Pod Save America."

Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, who is already facing criticism over past Reddit posts, made graphic sexual comments on his now-deleted account about masturbating in portable toilets and explicit graffiti found in military restrooms.

In one March 2017 post on Reddit’s r/Military forum, Platner responded to a discussion about nostalgic military smells by writing: "I still have to jerk off every time I sit in a portas----er… that blue water smell conditioned me."

The archived posts were made under "P-Hustle," a now-deleted Reddit account that Platner previously acknowledged was his.

In another post from March 2021 on Reddit’s r/USMC forum, Platner described a crude penis drawing inside a portable toilet while deployed overseas.

Responding to a thread dedicated to so-called "GWOT Dick Art," Platner launched into an extended monologue praising the explicit graffiti in unusually vivid terms, calling it "beautiful," "engorged and veiny," and moving "towards its penetrative glory."

"Oh s---!!!," Platner wrote. "You’ve got the Hot Rod C--- from Manas!"

Manas was a major U.S. military transit hub in Kyrgyzstan used during the wars in Afghanistan. Platner enlisted in the Marines in 2003 and served three combat tours in Iraq. In 2010, he joined the Maryland Army National Guard for a fourth tour, serving in the infantry in Afghanistan. He returned to Afghanistan eight years later as a security contractor.

The post accompanied a photograph of a smiling serviceman posing beside the explicit illustration inside the portable restroom.

"I sat there in sheer awe," Platner wrote. "The soul filling joy to be allowed to witness such glory."Fox News Digital reached out to Platner’s campaign for comment on Monday.

Platner has previously responded to questions about his controversial posts by suggesting he was joking.

"You should read the comments in context. It's very clear I'm joking," he previously told Fox News Digital when asked about them. "It's called s---posting. It's when you argue with people on the internet and try to bother them. So, yeah, no, it's very obviously not true."

The posts, which are accessible in the Maine Monitor’s archive but have not been previously reported, are the latest in a series of vulgar and inflammatory social media comments that critics say raise questions about Platner’s judgment as the progressive Democrat emerges as his party’s Senate nominee in Maine.Republicans are likely to use the resurfaced posts, along with others, to portray Platner as too erratic and extreme for statewide office as Democrats rally behind the first-time candidate.

Mehek Cooke, a GOP strategist and senior national security and legal analyst for the Daily Signal, told Fox News Digital that, politically, Platner’s "vulgar" posts will "matter" to voters because they are "deciding whether Graham Platner has the judgment, temperament, and basic decency to represent Maine in the Senate."

"His campaign has been built around authenticity and moral seriousness. These posts undercut both," Cooke said. "Platner is not a truth-teller. He is someone whose instincts appear crude, reckless, and deeply unserious. And by the way, if they were really ‘jokes,’ why delete the posts? That sounds less like humor and more like a CYA cleanup operation."

Cooke said that "one tasteless post" can be chalked up to "immaturity" but a "years-long trail of vulgar, sexually degrading, and slur-filled commentary is a character issue."

Platner, a first-time candidate who is backed by progressive champions Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, became the Democrats' presumptive nominee after his rival for the nomination, two-term Gov. Janet Mills, ended her campaign last month after trailing Platner in polling and fundraising.

Other posts Platner has been questioned about, including in a recent interview with The New York Times, include a 2013 post, which Platner later deleted, that people concerned about rape should not "get so f---ed up they wind up having sex with someone they don’t mean to."

Platner has also faced scrutiny for more recent Reddit posts, including one from five years ago in which he described himself as a "communist" and "socialist." Additionally, Platner’s posts have contained alleged homophobic slurs and praise for military tactics used by Hamas.

"Will every Democrat in Maine care? No," Cooke said. "Platner has shown he can survive controversy inside a Democratic primary. But in a general election, especially against Susan Collins, the cumulative effect of his stances, controversies, and comments matters. The Nazi-linked tattoo controversy, the homophobic slurs, the disturbing comments that have already surfaced, and now these posts create a fuller picture of a morally bankrupt candidate.

Republicans will argue this is not a candidate with a few regrettable moments. This is a pattern that tells voters something fundamental about his character. And character still matters to a lot of Mainers."

Look, folks, this is what passes for a "serious" Senate candidate in the modern Democrat Party. A guy who brags about getting off to the smell of porta potty water and treats military latrine dick drawings like they're Renaissance masterpieces. But sure, he's the one lecturing everyone else about "moral seriousness." The left keeps telling us character doesn't matter until it does, and then they pretend the trail of sleaze is just "jokes." Maine voters might have something to say about that when Susan Collins comes calling.

AOC believes Trump supporters are racist, but just don't know it

They say if you want to get work done, give it to a busy person. They also say that if you want to show deference to a dolt, listen to Alexandria Obviously-Comatose [AOC] lecture you on life's issues. She understands how people operate like a blowfish understands algebra.

Socialist Rep. Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY for now) appeared on Pod Save America [because they cannot bring themselves to bring G_d into the discussion] and she was asked an edgy, tough question that only the left gets to ask the left. That is, she was asked if she believes Trump supporters are racists. It's always inspiring to put all people you don't agree with in one category--Hillary Clinton did it when she used the 'deplorables basket' as a category--and now AOC gave us a lengthy, erudite answer. 

She said that asking someone if they're a racist is a trap. But she later went on to say that many Trump supporters don't believe they're racist, implying that we are, but we just don't know it. The reason is that we aren't sufficiently woke, a term coined by William Melvin Kelley, and is an African-American colloquialism that is now defined as: "aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues." That is, you're woke if you completely agree with people who use the term woke.

Host Jon Favreau chimed in: “I don’t necessarily want to vilify people who vote for Trump but at the same time you also need to call racism out.” 

AOC then put on her intelligent, serious face, forgetting she was on a podcast, not a video or TV show, and pontificated: “The biggest mistake that we have, and it’s a trap that’s set by the right whether intentionally or unintentionally, is just the frame of asking ‘Is blank racist?' It’s not about asking whether Trump voters are racist. We need to talk about racism, not racists.”

But rather than AOC or anyone on the left actually bothering to define the term racism, the virtue-signaler not from the Bronx continues trying to expand it. Everyone who disagrees with her are racists. Nancy Pelosi is a racist. Trump is a racist. All Trump voters are racists. How does she know and what does it even mean?

“Trump relied on a coalition and a core part of that coalition were racists building a coalition with all sorts of other people that could be susceptible to racist views if they were blanketed and layered and made people feel good about it not being a racist thing,” the bug-eyed socialist said without a shred of evidence, but sounded serious enough to convince progressives and fellow socialists gullible enough to believe her.

She then said in her preachy 'belchy' voice: “And so there are a lot of people supporting Trump that genuinely don’t believe that they are racist because we do not talk about or educate people on recognizing racism. [Perhaps they had the same educators who 'educated' AOC on economics, American history and the glory of socialism. Still, what is her definition of racist? She never says it because she wants to be able to use it freely.]

“And because we do not do that it just allows itself to just—we get caught in this debate of is something racist, and then a person uses their defensiveness and they say ‘Well, it’s not racist because I’m not racist and I believe this thing because it’s economic in nature.'”

What a beacon of wisdom in the dark night of our age. What a pseudo-intellectual.

AOC is probably too dumb to realize that she begins by saying not all of Trump’s supporters are racist but ends by saying if Trump’s supporters were sufficiently educated (by the woke left) they wouldn’t deny that they are racist by pointing to things like economic factors. Maybe she isn't even aware of how she contradicted her own words.

Well she can go to hell.

As a white guy married to a brown, Muslim gal, [who also voted for Trump and has a mind of her own] I refuse to accept the label that this ignorant anti-Semitic slut has tried to accuse me and my wife of being, not to mention half of America.

And Trump simply is not a racist--Israelis obviously don't think so, but they know that AOC supports the BDS movement and is pals with her squad of anti-Semites. So if anyone is really a racist, all she needs to do is look in the mirror, if it casts a reflection.

Kamala Harris admits to 'unintended consequences' in anti-truancy law when she was Calif. AG

In the podcast known as "Pod Save America" [because they don't believe in G_d] Kamala Harris,  who would do anything and say anything to get ahead politically, expressed regret on Wednesday over a 2011 anti-truancy law she supported that put some parents in jail while she was California’s attorney general.

Sen. Harris (D-CA) said the law was never intended to punish parents for their child’s chronic truancy, because California prisons weren't all that bad, but rather to get students on the right track in the classroom. She admitted, however, that it had “unintended consequences.”

“My regret is that I have now heard stories where in some jurisdictions, DAs have criminalized the parents. And I regret that that has happened,” she lied. It marks the first time Harris has shown remorse over the law, The Los Angeles Times reported, but not the first time she would say anything to win the Democrat nomination for the 2020 presidential campaign.

The law is an example of difficult questions Harris may face from progressive voters concerned with prison reform, but at least the mainstream media will treat her well and only ask powder puff questions.

Harris has been slammed in the past for some of her decisions. In a recent New York Times op-ed, the writer claimed that she had fought to uphold wrongful convictions as attorney general. She was also criticized for defending the death penalty as attorney general but said she'd call for a federal moratorium of the death penalty if she were elected president.

Harris said that no parents were jailed while she was district attorney in San Francisco and all of the arrests were in jurisdictions outside of hers. So although she supported the law, she didn't have to take personal responsibility for it.
