(21,365 posts)19. So did Platner lie to Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren at their June 2 meeting
when they asked him if there were any more damaging stories that could come out?
Democratic senators, including Warren, pressed Platner on whether new allegations could emerge, according to report
Graham Platner, Maines presumptive Democratic nominee for US Senate, was asked in a closed-door meeting of Senate Democrats this week if any more allegations against him could emerge, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal.
The meeting, which took place in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, followed reports over the weekend that Platners wife had told a campaign aide shortly into him launching his Senate bid that she discovered sexually explicit texts with several women on his phone months earlier. The report added to the list of scandals clouding Platners freshman campaign against veteran GOP Senator Susan Collins.
According to the Journals report, published Wednesday, Planter was pressed during the meeting by two of his New England allies, senators Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. Sanders asked Platner if any additional allegations could emerge against him. Warren followed Sanders question by saying there is a difference between marital issues and allegations of sexual assault.

"Extremely credible"? How so? Until Platner admits it, It's just another well-orchestrated political attack.

It would be fun to go back and look at some of the posts from this time about 6-7 years ago.

What injustice galls you? Platner is some victim of some injustice? Please explain.

You're right. I guess I was wrong to assume that he would want those assurances. N/T
