The media's "Republicans pounce" spin is always as predictable as the sun rising in the east, and the Graham Platner allegations (and his admissions) are no different.
Often we expect this approach from an outlet like Politico, but this time it happened on ABC.
After detailing some of the allegations about Platner and trying to help explain away his Nazi SS tattoo, the reporter noted that Susan Collins has pounced:
ABC’s Mary Bruce frets on Wednesday’s ‘World News Tonight’ that “Republican Senator Susan Collins [is] pouncing” on the series of scandals against “oyster farmer” Democrat Graham Platner, including “the tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol” pic.twitter.com/cw5PzeLP2O

Collins might be 73 years of age but she can still pounce!
Pouncing. When do Republicans start seizing?

That can't be far behind.
Reminder that Mary Bruce has never answered how her question ended up in the hands of Joe Biden prior to her asking it in April 2023. https://t.co/sdO8zDp5gp pic.twitter.com/LmkV965WLA

Shocker.
Oh, and about that thing that the reporter said "resembles" a Nazi tattoo:
Again, it doesn’t resemble a Nazi tattoo, it IS a Nazi tattoo.

Always savor and celebrate all ‘journalism’ layoffs.🎉🥳 https://t.co/vnBN3tFm94
Platner's lucky he's got that "D" after his name, or imagine how different these stories would be reported.
