There was even more "messy" information dropping about Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner after it was revealed that he'd sent sexually explicit texts to women on his campaign while he was married. The Platner campaign released a hostage video of his wife, Amy, who tried to stand by her man by shaming news outlets for spreading "gossip" and not focusing on the issues.
As Twitchy reported on Sunday, Platner still had an active profile on the sleazy hookup site Kik, a “predators paradise” app, complete with the obligatory bathroom mirror selfie in a towel (shades of Anthony Weiner). So, since announcing his run for Senate, he's had his Nazi tattoo inked over, and he's finally taken down his Kik profile.
Platner was on KiK for over 3000 days & took his profile down literally last night. Didn't his campaign think that THAT might have been a problem?!

I’m happy that he left it up. Can’t fix stupid.

This is insane to me. “Should we at least deactivate account on the platform known for maximum, possibly criminal sleaziness and exploitation before I run for Senate?” “Nah, let’s wait for June.” https://t.co/2855HAH3ZJ

Platner just doesn’t see things like a Nazi tattoo, sexting etc. as detrimental to campaigning — I don’t see how he would have run otherwise, it was all bound to become known.

It's not having a Kik account that is inherently illicit. It's having a Kik account where you're posting out-of-the-shower photos and cruising young women behind your wife's back that's the problem. All the pro athletes seem to use Instagram for this same purpose.

I wonder what his new account is called

All of his social accounts tend to start with "PHustle," so probably PHustle2.
