Senator Sheldon Whitehouse from the notoriously diverse state of Rhode Island, is not impressed with the allegations against Graham Platner. Maybe he spoke with his friends at his all-white country club and they came to that conclusion.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) tells NOTUS he’s unimpressed by the allegations against Graham Platner

Whitehouse: “Seems like a lot of nothing. I mean, the only one who had anything to say that seemed ‘unsettling’ was a woman who works for right-wing political operations.”… https://t.co/DwUa7f7Zya pic.twitter.com/iK0eUEA1NU
Too bad the stories of young women victimized by Graham Platner didn't move the needle for Senator Whitehouse.
To the extent it's a he-said/she-said.

Reasons not to trust Platner:
* He lied about being "sent to war"
* He lied about why he went to private school
* His whole working-class oysterman story is bs
Reasons not to trust Fifield:
* She's a conservative.https://t.co/un57OdmNqR
Listen, if a person lies even one time, that casts suspicion on every other thing they ever said. Since Platner has lied a whole bunch of times, why is he automatically believed over a woman who has an impeccable reputation?

Just a bunch of rich white dudes making excuses for their fellow rich white dude.
Senator Whitehouse thinks it sounds like "nothing" that he bruised women and locked one in a room? That's nothing? https://t.co/J1X4SN7qba

Makes one wonder what goes on between Whitehouse and his friends.
So because she's Right wing...it's OK for Platner to have allegedly abused her 😵💫 https://t.co/oxNtKHWJ8a

Anyone else old enough to remember when Democrats were the party that said "believe survivors"?
— Rogue POTUS Staff (@RoguePOTUSStaff) June 5, 2026
Apparently that was an abbreviation for "believe survivors so long as the Senate's not in play."
BTW @SenWhitehouse, there's still worse yet to come. But you should f**k off now. https://t.co/so1LY5upGi
All that matters to Democrats is power.
@SenWhitehouse supports domestic violence and rape. https://t.co/vHYmesyXFv

How many @DNC and @TheDemocrats are abusers? It seems like a lot. https://t.co/vHYmesyXFv

At minimum, it is full of abuse apologists.
