In a story a week ago about Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner and how the Democrats have been spotted indicating that he's toxic to the party, there was a laundry list of issues most Dems are willing to overlook in order for them to still have a chance at taking back the Senate:
* adultery while only being married 3 years
* blaming women for their own rapes
* abuse of former romantic partners
* lying about how he bought his house
* lying about his oyster business
* fantasizing about raping intruders (but not in a gay way)
* his account on a known predator app up until last week
* encouraging a 15 year old to commit suicide
* claiming Black people don't tip
With a few months to go until the midterm elections, what are the odds that there's more to come with Platner?
An MS NOW host asked a Platner adviser if more women might come forward ahead of the election, and based on this response we assume the actual answer is "well, probably":
HOST: “Can you say that there are not going to be more women coming forward?”

KATZ: “Graham Platner has addressed his past repeatedly, more than I’ve ever seen any candidate have to talk about their past.”
HOST: “That might be because he has a lot of problems.” pic.twitter.com/wbajZk3nRX
That sounded like a "yes" to a lot of people.
She asked a simple question.

And he basically confirms more women will be coming forward with his non answer. https://t.co/1PrgcYl6Ud
Helluva way to say “there are other women” https://t.co/SyBVWIlNf3

Translation: Yes, more women will be coming forward -- a lot more, and no, he doesn't care about that at all. https://t.co/s1x5DO95u7

And the Democrats would still stand behind him. We can't imagine what it would take at this point for Platner's Democrat supporters to jump ship.
