After there had already been numerous serious allegations against Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, combined with the Nazi SS tattoo and other issues, Senator Cory Booker was still fully supporting the Maine Democrat. The reason was plain and simple: Democrats really want to regain control of the Senate:

After all that was already known about Platner, one more allegation was made against him, and suddenly Senator Spartacus did a fast one-eighty. Try not to get whiplash:
Enough is enough. graham platner needs to step aside.

Perhaps if Booker ever does an interview with any journo who isn't clearly already in the tank for the Democrats, they might ask him some basic questions.
What was “enough” for you? You knew he was a sexual predator and a Nazi when you supported him. NOW you’ve had enough? 🤣🤣🤣

The reason couldn't be more obvious.

He's losing in the polls. https://t.co/l6WDBdezCv
As Booker made clear initially, it's all about power for the Democrats, and the guy who was once useful in that area seems to have lost his usefulness.
