flag Democrat Graham Platner distances himself from past inflammatory Reddit posts, calling them "stupid joke comments" from a tough personal period.

flag Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner is distancing himself from deleted 2020–2021 Reddit posts in which he made inflammatory remarks about police, rural white Americans, and American patriotism, calling them "stupid joke comments" from a period of personal struggle after military service in Iraq and Afghanistan. flag He denies holding those views today, says he no longer identifies as a communist, and emphasizes his friendships with law enforcement officers. flag The controversy has drawn national attention as he competes in Maine’s Democratic primary against Governor Janet Mills, with Platner raising over $4 million and receiving endorsements from Bernie Sanders and David Hogg’s PAC.
