Democrats Bet on a Fraud: The Trust-Fund Kid Dressed Up as Maine’s Oyster Farmer

As crazy as it seems, the Democrats are standing behind Graham Platner for their Senate candidate in Maine. One might think the Nazi tattoo was disqualifying, but hating Jewish people is clearly a selling point for today's Democrats. Now, the internet is uncovering even more lies from Platner.

Has Graham Platner @grahamformaine clarified the discrepancy between the "story" he told during his Chris Hayes interview that his decision-making process to run for Senate began in late 2024, yet his domain was created in April of 2023? pic.twitter.com/XpHgrkkxvV

The Graham For Senate web domain was registered one year *before* the website for his oyster hobby / business.

Almost like the oyster schtick is a contrived campaign prop. https://t.co/6hpj1nl0WR pic.twitter.com/PENhdR97rR

Platner lives off 60k dollars per year tax free from the military for his PTSD. He also has the support of his parents. He created the 'oyster' business to prop up his bio before a campaign.

We need better liars. It's insulting.

It's like they forget the internet exists and it's easy to check the facts.

Everything about him is designed to enhance the mask he is wearing for this gig.

Almost like? I think the whole thing was planned by the people financing his campaign.

So what should the Maine Democrats do now? It is clear that elections cannot be bought in the state of Maine. Putting working-class candidates on the ballot could provide a path to victory—people who represent lower-income, northern, and rural Mainers, especially where precarious occupations such as lobstering and recreation dominate the economy. Candidates who meaningfully engage with the many activists in the state as well as with policies such as Medicare for All, which are broadly popular with independents, might make voting out someone like Collins seem like a risk worth taking. In short, as Fulford put it, “We need a lobsterwoman AOC.”

Basically, they took the advice of this article and changed it to an 'oysterman'.

“Almost” nothing. Everything about that stiff @grahamformaine except his original tattoo is a contrived campaign prop.

And he’s not even bright enough to be efficient at it.

Rather than “stoner gamer” how about “oyster farmer?” https://t.co/haDe6M5P3E pic.twitter.com/nOYMUPr6XF

There is nothing authentic about the guy.
