1. He should have vetted him

Before elevating him.

2. Platner, not Planter

One would hope Sen. Sanders is not the operator here.

3. Thanks!

[mr715]

4. I'm really sorry about that.

It is just a little pet peeve of mine when I see candidates misnamed. It irks me. No disrespect to you.

6. All good; I appreciate it.

in on the World Cup and haven’t been keeping up.

16. I think expressing an opinion and passing a verdict are two separate things.

Literalism can be a defineite hazard sometimes.

9. Platner snuck into a girlfriend's house after she told him not to come over.

Part of her account:

“I had been telling him these words, like: ‘No, don’t,’” she recalled.

“And, the look on his face and realizing what was happening, I just realized that, like, I am in a situation where there’s no consent here,” she said.

Racicot said she tried to separate herself from Platner by telling him she couldn’t be in that room anymore, after which he followed her to her bedroom and had sex with her against her will. She said he also ejaculated inside of her despite her telling him not to, as she was not using birth control at the time.

She went to clean herself up, she said, and when she returned, Platner had fallen asleep. She contemplated waking him up to kick him out, but worried he could hurt someone driving in the state he was in.

11. Thank you for the update. Very bad situation for

Platner’s team to find themselves in.

18. "...he followed her to her bedroom and had sex with her against her will."

If only there was a word for that...

10. Bernie needs to never endorse anyone ever again

Gabbard, Fetterman and now Platner. I am all set with Bernie Sanders' endorsements.

13. democratic socialist misses a few wins a few nt

14. I trust AOC, just not Bernie

Bernie screws up a lot.

15. Has he even commented on this latest accusation?

He should withdraw his endorsement first.

17. The Tattoo alone should have been disqualifing.
