For those who touch grass and aren't constantly immersed in politics, Platner is running to be the Democrat candidate for Senate in Maine. So far, he's apologized for being a Nazi, White Supremacy posts, bigoted tattoos and now for making slurs against people with intellectual disabilities. This man stays apologizing.
I'm pretty sure we're close to this guy setting a Guinness world record for apologies issued during a senate campaign https://t.co/gkyFjCD3AA

Maybe this guy isn't cut out for public life.
When you see it broken down like this, it hits different, doesn’t it?

For the life of me, I don’t understand why so many Democrats are attaching their names to this man by endorsing him. https://t.co/JbFHJuP2Nm
When a Democrat has lost Shannon Watts, you know it's bad.

Platner is not some 'oh, shucks' Oyster Farmer (pun not intended). He's dangerous and clearly can't control himself.
At what point do Democratic primary voters in Maine say "enough"? Or nah, they don't care? #MESEN https://t.co/gVUrJHgnxJ

That's a great question.
What exactly is the case for nominating this guy? What do these people being polled see that I am missing? This is a genuine question because I’m baffled. https://t.co/7n5YbP8joI

He has a (D) for Democrat after his name so that allows him to get away with saying or thinking literally anything.
I think it's great that Graham Platner is "trying to be better" ... but maybe he should not do that while running for a seat in the US Senate https://t.co/IvExoXvrBD

If you find yourself apologizing for things you've said that call into question your fitness for office nearly every week during the PRIMARY, at a certain point it's worth considering that you're just not fit for office. https://t.co/3KHUUeWp6s

It's long past that point.
It feels like every apology video leads to him going up in the polls by another five points https://t.co/GsVuQhh7J7

Apparently, the Democrats just don't care this man has absolutely no character.
Why do Democrats hate people with disabilities? https://t.co/BXMWVusVoc
