Twitchy compiles social-media comments attacking Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner and arguing that left-wing defenses of him undermine the #MeToo movement. One exchange also discusses the Republican opponent’s vote against the SAVE Act.
The post presents hostile comments about Platner and his supporters, with commenters arguing that defending him conflicts with the left’s past criticism of conservatives over Nazi comparisons and women’s treatment. The comments make disparaging claims about Platner, including references to a Nazi tattoo and alleged conduct, but the post provides little context or response.
A separate exchange says Platner’s Republican opponent voted against the SAVE Act. One commenter says Mitch McConnell, Thom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski also voted against it, calls Susan Collins’s vote disappointing, and says she is preferable to the Democrats.
