Re: Platner and the intellectual Twister and Yoga to rehabilitate him... [View all]

I've just got one question.

Theoretically... it's Idaho and some GOP'er is running for office and he has Platners IDENTICAL history... Nazi tat, misogynist comments, sexting etc...

Would YOU be defending him?

Yes or no.

Note: I hope he wins. But I will never lie or cover up for anything about him. In a perfect world, he'd win the election and resign the day he is sworn in.
