So far, you've heard about Democrat Maine candidate for Senate Graham Platner's weird places to 'service' himself (porta-potty), his Nazi tattoo, his rape apologia, and other various weird takes on Reddit. Also, he lied about how he bought his house and he blamed Susan Rice for 'sending him to war' even though he volunteered against the advice of his own parents and said he wanted the adventure of killing people since he was eight years old. Now, there are new allegations.
The wife of the Maine’s Democratic Senate candidate disclosed the texts between Platner and other women to his campaign. https://t.co/WmTAV5ihTe

His own wife found them and turned them over to the campaign because she feared they would cause problems. Maybe they have a open marriage?
Days after Graham Platner announced his Maine Senate bid, his wife informed the campaign about a potential political problem she had previously discovered on the oyster farmer’s phone: sexually explicit texts with several women, according to people familiar with the matter.
Amy Gertner, who married Platner in 2024, told the campaign about messages she had found early in their marriage in the spring of 2025. In late August, as some aides were conducting opposition research on their own candidate, Gertner disclosed the texts to a campaign aide to make sure they didn’t pose a risk to her husband’s nascent campaign, those people said. The campaign had been preparing for a major rally over Labor Day weekend last year with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who was set to officially endorse Platner at the event.
We're going to lose the senate because a bunch of DC consultants and podcasters thought it would be funny to make their scumbag bartender a senator. https://t.co/gcvexUEe0f

He sufficiently hated 'The Joos'. That was enough for them.
I repeatedly told people to understand the meaning of "red flag" as a surface-level indicator of something potentially worse. There will be more stories re: women. I'm glad the WSJ cares enough about journalism to report now, rather than post-primary. The GOP has a different plan https://t.co/iztF25SZxb

Platner is a walking red flag, many people in the Republican Party have tried to point that out and the Democrats refuse to listen.
this story is actually even stranger than the headline;

the campaign was conducting self-oppo research (smart)
and the wife disclosed she'd found that he'd been sexting other women (ok)
and the campaign decided it wasn't a big deal (malpractice) https://t.co/xV9jgBevjy
They figured Democrats will vote for anyone they think can win.
Everyday is a new adventure for this guy. https://t.co/GEZZ0MwOAw

Unlike the Nazi tattoo, this can’t be spun away as old news since it happened last year. https://t.co/XqZdUUmLT8
