Hours before the news broke, Maine Senate Democrat candidate Graham Platner cancelled all his campaign events.
A woman has just come forward to Politico with a direct accusation that Platner raped her.
(Via Politico) – A woman who dated Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner says he forced her to have sex with him nearly five years ago despite her repeated objections, an allegation Platner denies.
The woman, a 41-year-old Maine resident named Jenny Racicot, detailed the alleged incident to POLITICO in three interviews over the past two weeks. POLITICO also spoke with a man Racicot dated and confided in the years after the alleged incident, and reviewed documents, including emails between Racicot and her therapist and messages between Racicot and an acquaintance whom she warned against getting involved with Platner years before he ran for office.
[…] he entered her rural Maine home uninvited one night in late 2021, deeply intoxicated, and forced himself on her while she repeatedly told him to stop. She said she cut off contact with him after telling him the encounter was not consensual.
“I remember him grabbing my pelvis and being really forceful of me,” she said. “I remember the specific moment where I thought to myself, like, ‘This is no longer my choice.’”
[…] Racicot said she was torn over coming forward in part because she agrees with Platner politically. (read more)

It is not accidental these damning revelations are surfacing now with a sense of urgency behind them.
The DNC already have a reliable candidate in Susan Collins. Though a supposed “republican” she votes almost 80% of the time with dems and she won’t try to oust the dinosaur dotards at the top while Platner would.
The core problem is that a woman can say anything about a powerful man and she will be automatically believed.
Other example: I don’t even remember when or where. But, pay me $80 million for calling me a liar!
Did you read the article? It specifically states she has texts and emails talking about it before he ran for office.
Why didn’t she go to the police after it happened?
The face of a real brute.
URGENT: Did The New York Times whitewash allegations of sexual misconduct against hero-of-the-left Maine senatorial candidate Graham Platner?
Sure looks that way.

“….Following Racicot’s allegations, Fyfield published her own description of how the Times had treated her on X Tuesday morning:
I actually understand why Democrat leaders didn’t take our stories seriously when the Times reported them in June but are taking them seriously now.
It was by design.
The line most shared from the piece was the claim that the Times “could not corroborate” my story despite talking to two of my friends.
I gave them the contact information for five friends.
They called the two who I clarified would not know about the abuse but would be able to affirm our relationship timeline, events, etc.
They simply did not call the other three.
I also gave them the names of all my former roommates who remembered him stalking our row house (which was about 5 houses down from his) and waiting for me to return. I gave them screenshots of messages between these roommates and I discussing it.
I gave them the names of other men I dated who might have remembered him following us around the hill and showing up on my stoop after we walked home from dates to confront us. I gave them emails to my landlord urgently ending my lease and moving to an apartment across town and diary entries talking about it – all time marked.
I told them that during pre-marital counseling I had spoken to my ex-fiance about the abuse because I had to explain to him why I reacted with such terror any time he lost his temper. They said oh NO we don’t need to bother HIM (or my priest). Besides, I had written about it in my diary in detail, they reassured.
As the weeks dragged on I stopped trying to give them evidence because the amount I had already given them seemed to overwhelm them and I thought it meant they clearly had more than enough to verify my every claim…
But tell me again how they “could not corroborate.”…”
