Nick Arama criticizes Rep. Ro Khanna for his past support of Graham Platner and argues that Khanna’s recent admission that he “got that call wrong” does not address his earlier defense of Platner. Khanna says he should have recognized warning signs earlier and compares political endorsements to being “in the arena.”
