Graham Platner should have simple responses when hounded about sexting accusations [View all]

"What about Ken Paxton? Why don't you ask him about his personal controversies and criminal actions?" "I don't see the media doing that."

"What about Donald Trump? A jury of his peers convicted him of sexual assault, not to mention his paying off a pornstar while his wife was pregnant with their child?" " Did you constantly hound him about these facts when he was running for President in 2016 or 2024?"

"Have you investigated Lyndsey Fifield ties to the Heritage Foundation and other arms of the GOP?" "Do your job as journalists."
