A self-described 'reliable' election news account is catching heat after it tried to brush off disturbing allegations against Graham Platner.
And deservedly so.
When The New York Times dropped their latest story about Graham Platner in which ex-girlfriends came forward to share their horrific stories about being in a relationship with Platner nobody was at all surprised. But one ex-girlfriend (who happens to be a conservative) detailed a pattern where Platner allegedly grabbed her shoulders, twisted her arm behind her back, shoved her into a bedroom, and held the door shut from the outside so she couldn’t leave — telling her to stay put until she calmed down.
Read that again.
You guys think they'd have posted this if Platner was a Republican and his ex sharing this story was a Democrat?
The apparent “assault” is that during what sounds like a heated argument, Platner subdued her and put her in a room, telling her to calm down. That seems to be the extent of any alleged assault. https://t.co/yBQ63d5ghU

Oh, that's it. He only 'subdued' her and locked her in a room because she needed to calm down.
C'mon, it was just a little bit of domestic violence.
You don’t even realize you’re using classic domestic abuser minimization coded language here. It’s incredible.

In fact, you might as well be reading out of a woman beater textbook. If one existed. pic.twitter.com/Z89SERmgmT

Yikes.
It’s people like you that ensure that battered women stay in battering relationships.

It's wild watching the Left circle the wagons around a bigoted, sexist, Nazi ... and by wild we mean sadly too predictable.
