Apparently, it's more than one event, actually. This could be juicy.

Reasons will probably become pretty clear here soon. https://t.co/B2I4pUb3rU

Oh, we are sat for this one!

This is basically never good news.

I bet they have kik conversations 🤭

Queue Kyle cucklinski and others making excuses for him in 3...2...1...

Oh, all his little Commie friends will come to his defense. Of that, you can be sure.

I mean if the fact that he is a woman abusing, rape promoting, neo-nazi didn't stop the left from supporting him nothing will.

Maybe he sent a message saying he secretly supports Israel and the right of Jewish people to exist. That would end him in today's Democrat Party, for sure.

Wild rumors re Graham Platner circulating this morning...

Sources Downeast say Platner showed up for the 4th of July parade in Eastport but left early after getting struck in the face by a teen-tossed water balloon.😂

He was a no-show later that evening for the Machias parade.

There are even reports a July 4th parade appearance did not go as planned. Those darn water balloons have surely ruined a campaign or two. Lulz.

In addition, there appears to be some organizational scrambling/chaos:

Both of these were sent out around the same time regarding his Gorham town hall, scheduled from 5-6 PM tonight: https://t.co/J1VlkjQ475 pic.twitter.com/7hpjuMOSTw

It looks like the Platner campaign is in disarray. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

The only thing Graham Platner should be running for is a Porta-Potty! https://t.co/YhG90tzqrW

Ok this one probably has some "teeth" to it.

And not like "baby teeth", like "Great White Shark teeth" https://t.co/8UBEXzbNYA

It doesn't sound good for the Democrat's favorite Nazi.

The Democrats should have pulled him when Lyndsey Fifield tried to warn them. Unfortunately, she's a conservative woman so she doesn't matter. They can now deal with the fleas since they chose to lay with a dog.
