I am not from Maine so I won't vote - thankfully.
I would want to know why Platner waited until 2025 to try and get the tattoo removed. Why so long? Because it sure looks as if he waited until the story broke. I am not sure if he apologized for his disgusting comments before 2025 or only after those comments surfaced. I can believe those were mistakes of youth. What is difficult to understand is why it took him so long to remove the tattoo, etc. Also, I don't like that he comes across as the victim here. He is running for the Senate. The republicans are going to go after him with everything they have and quite possibly make up stuff as well.
Platner should stop acting as if this is old news. He should just own it and explain he understands those comments and tattoo are offensive. Instead, he comes across as oh mistake of my youth. Yes, but you are now running for the senate. I hope he does a better job of owning his mistakes, accept they are offensive and seem more remorseful and less irritated. I think if he can do this, it will go a long way. We all make mistakes. Walking around with a Nazi tattoo is on another level for a man in his forties.
For some reason, Colins always ends up winning. I have seen Platner's ad and it is really good.
I have never liked David French.
