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.
I don’t believe it. He seems more like a ‘taker’ than a ‘giver.’
they ran this guy deliberately so they can claim all white men are nazi rapists
now all delegates and candidates will be poc commies
I know 1 way Collins could secure a win. That said, Maine has played a role for decades…..
Click!
“The Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran has linked some of his behavior to mental health struggles and alcohol abuse…” More proof that contemporary democrats are insane; where do they get these candidates? Turns out that John F. Kerry was a pathfinder for democrat Senatorial candidates, but even he was not accused of rape or mental healh issues just self-promoted, false valor.
Thow the medals, man.
Might get you elected.
Two problems collide: 1) Men are often falsely accused; 2) A lot of women don’t report actual sexual assault, for a variety of reasons. My usual response to an accusation is to suspend judgment.
I agree but with that said. The number of reports of bad behavior and the statements from Platner himself give much weight to these allegations. AKA this guy is a turd.
Typical communist
The past allegations were dismissible because they were made by a Republican.
These allegations are true because this accuser agrees with him politically.
What a despicable bunch of politicians and reporters.
What a despicable Nazi loving, misogynistic, serial rapist.
But, how convenient that this allegation comes just in time for them to force him out and replace him. Almost as, if they couldn’t find the perfect accuser, they’d have to make her up.
But he is down in the polls and now the democrats want him out.
It’s a coordinated hit.
Democrats always have a plan B. They wanted young because they have no history. Platner was the reason. Too much baggage. DSA are straight out of school.
But, but, but.
Organic 0yster farmer.
Working man.
EMI right?
All you youngins (boys)
Take a lesson.
In the words of waneeta crawford about bill clinton, “just put some ice on it”.
Just another democrat maineact.
In her interview she said, “in the morning he tried to put his arm around me. Wait? What? she let him fall asleep and didn’t get up to call the police? Something fishy. There is enough real evidence against this guy, the previously reports, the sexual fetish with port-a-potties, and the creepy tattoo. All this should have disqualified him. But now? Why?
Am I alone in assuming, at this point, all “historical claims which emerge at a critical time in someone’s campaign” is highly questionable? And my favorite part is how she is conflicted about coming forward because of political alignment. That level of crazy actually makes it more convincing somehow. She’d be a great one to export to the UK to visit some of the pakis out there.
Exactly what I was thinking. So she was raped, but then she was torn over whether to come forward because she agreed with his politics. If that’s true, then that is pathetic to a degree that is hard to fathom, even for leftist lunatics. But the timing and the circumstances (he is behind in the polls) make it look like an obvious Dim on Dim hit to get him out for a replacement.
How many times do people need to see this before they see it for what it is? This playbook is so old, predictable and boring that I barely give it a second glance these days.
Yeah, and it worked out in Californication, too!
” I was about to scream for help when I noticed his BLM tattoo..Oh,..well..nevermind…Full Speed Ahead, Sailor!’
Remember when Gov Cuomo was started making noise about running for president?
And just like that women came outta the woodwork with tales of sexual abuse & harressment.
You’d think people would catch on.
The nipple ring wearing “love Gov”. Pass the barf bag!
This is establishment dems fighting back. My guess is this was just a sample of what he was threatened with.
Funny how they don’t threaten every communist! They pick and choose!
…yeah but White Boy always has a clear target on his back. 🤷♀️😉
She couldn’t remember where it was, when it was and, oh wait, that was someone else.
I suspect every accusation such as what was made about this unless it was reported pretty immediately. Once the person making the claim gets away from that person whom they are now accusing they could have reported it back then as soon as they were out of his presence. If they feel safe and okay casting that claim against him at this point in time they would have felt as safe doing it sooner than waiting until he’s running for office or until they think they can file a lawsuit.
Exactly…the Dems are working behind the scenes to save some level of face with this reprobate, and this is the tactic they are employing to exit him stage lefty. This woman, despite being a Maine-Grade Socialist (or certainly leaning that way per her statement) could be 100% truthful, but I, like others, suspend any perspective on such ‘last minute’ accusations until some time has passed and the truth of the matter comes out (The Bongino Rule). Color me skeptical, but these days we are often played by both sides of this equation only to discover one (or both) are flat out lying.
There’s always three sides to a “story”….…… his side, her side and the truth! It’s been that way forever!
Wonderful how you are able to read the minds of women and men who have been raped and pass judgement on them.
So are we back to “believe women” again?
Don’t put words in my mouth. You are manipulating what I said and creating a scenario from my conmment that never occurred. Nowhere did I say I was in the minds of people who have been raped. It is a fact that years old accusations, mere accusations, without one scintilla of proof should not send a person to prison and it is not outside the boundaries of critical thinking to be suspicious when the accusation occurs years later, again without proof, just as the accused is running for office, or when a lawsuit is suddenly filed. I hope you never get falsely accused years or decades later of SAing someone when they were younger or committing violent rape with zero proof. I guarantee you will change your tune.
Sounds like he had “The Visit.” Some very large men wearing very expensive suits took him out to a very expensive restaurant, table in a very private room. And presented him with Title 21-A §374-A. And suggested that he will not be on the general election ballot for one of those three reasons. And noted the withdrawal date. Which, if missed, would leave only the other two options remaining. And suggesting that after July 13th he make peace with his maker.
They then laughed it up. Before abruptly closing with an unmistakable cold stare and death grip handshake suggesting he choose wisely.
Not Hollywood. Real life. Because that is real life in that world.
i don’t understand why Platner and Swalwell waited for the allegations to surface. especially Platner, whose had months of leaked stories to warn him that it would only get worse. do the Dems not try to pay them off? it’s hard to believe that a nobody like Platner wouldn’t take a few thousand to go away and avoid this embarassment. His poor wife.
That’s normal thinking, whereas, as observed over decades, those types never think ‘normal’ so they are not the least bit concerned or upset over this latest allegation, possibly having convinced themselves they are the victims.
Psychopaths all think they are untouchable, that normal limits don’t apply to them. That’s what makes them psychopaths.
We don’t have to look very far. Congress is full of them!
Poor wife? She’s a damn fool for staying with him. Or maybe she’s a POS, too!
What’s the problem? We had Bill for president. He’s amateur!
Seriously.
How about this?
Only humans of good moral character can run for election and serve in government.
Ha too late! WAY too late.
In other words, honestly who cares? If he raped you, file a criminal complaint. If he’s guilty then next steps. Punish or just put him in DC with the rest of the slime balls.
I’m so sick of the sub humans that rule us.
I have a different take.
Only slime balls are allowed to be (s)elected. Skeletons in closets are an effective means of control for those in the business of knowing such things.
“Someday , and that day may never come ,I’ll call upon you to do a service for me.“
both chambers of congress would b emptied out in 1 day…
Yep, this guy will fit in perfectly.
And that would be a great day for America. I would equate that to a badly needed enema!
‘She agrees with him politically.’ What in the HELL is wrong with these democrat women?
They know he’ll lose. Just like with Biden, they gave him the ultimatum. Not that they weren’t fellow radicals, they just have to win.
The tell was Politico dropped the story.
Liberalism is their religion.
It’s more of a cult, I think.
liberal politics = a religious cult
Morally straight is a trait missing in today’s politicians. Follow the money if there’s a trail. It almost seems a guilty conscience no longer exists. Skeletons in the closet are badges of honor? On second thought, maybe she was looking for a payday?
Right that is like one big WTH..so you didn;t say anything cuz you agreed with his politics.
I always have side eye when a woman waits years to say something and only does it once the
person runs for office or is nominated for somelike (like supreme court yet whatever you claim
didn;t bother you when they were made a federal or state judge..ok)
This guy was always an Op.
Therapist? File damned charges!
Reflect on what exactly? Look at Clinton, etc. Their sexual misconduct didn’t cause them to reflect, nor did it slow down their campaigns or wins. Clinton wasn’t even removed from the presidency, for heaven’s sake.
The Clintons are “special”. They have no ability to “reflect”. They have never paid for any of their wrong doings. Apparently, like the Pelosi’s and others, they are too high up the food chain and know where the bodies are buried.
The Clinton’s are ruthless thugs. They sold their souls to the devil long ago. And Hillary certainly knows where the bodies are buried.
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
You have it completely correct Seneca.
Just in the nick of time!!
Lol 🙄
So they are going to replace him with the former Governor who dropped out before the primary. Another Democrat installation without a single vote. But “No Kings”, or something… 🥴
The Governor stayed in the primary. she got a few thousand votes. i remember her in the news saying ‘you can still vote for me. i’m still on the ballot’.
Kinda odd how they slide these weasels in without an election, no?
It’s the communist way.
that’s exactly why emperess mills did not drop out – she “suspended” her campaign. big difference.
from my estimates the amount of platner signs has only increased exponentially in the last couple weeks when more and more info has come out. but the fact remains – all of this was known to those that wanted to know WAY before the campaign started. to those only pretending to find out now it’s all a ruse.
also as only anecdotal observations, many and i mean MANY of the ardent supports around here are women. most have all manner of flags flying as well, with various (seven to 20) colors and the fake new maine state flag. and if they have men in their household they are all in as well.
every candidate in maine that was not a republican is only running on “beat trump”, “tough on trump” the “only candidate that will stand up to trump”. that is all they have and it’s enough unfortunately. maine is another state that is blue. the major population centers but also many small towns have been completely overrun. it is sad to see but the fact is this: the progressive class has bodies in the streets, on the overpasses, in every city council, on every school board, have the full support of every newspaper and tv station (with the exception of ONE news outlet which is only online). the progressives and socialists run every city and they and their supporters are loud and in your face.
conservatives are always content to be the nice guy, to laugh at the “left”, and to think that voting still works. you do not get far with those characteristics.
that’s not to say collins cannot win, but frankly, she is not a firebrand or a conservative warrior by any means. she has always been a “hold your nose and vote for her” type and that will never lead to anything good in the long run.
I don’t doubt the rape really happened. I get why she didn’t report it back then. but, it makes even less sense to report it now. she made mistakes and was probably embarassed about her carelessness: starting with leaving her door unlocked, even though she knew he wanted to stop by. i don’t really follow the logic about waiting for her period to come before telling him to get lost. was she wanting to have a relationship with him, if he made her pregnant? why delete all the texts from him? if she truly wanted to get beyond the rape, and never see him again, why come forward now and have to tell the whole story in detail?
What I’ve learned over the past couple of decades… when the Political Party (Dems or Repubs) want to get you out of the way, they just drag some skeletons out of the closet. It’s that simple. I’m not going to get caught up in whether drunk sex between two people was “rape”. It’s just a distraction. A very stupid, tiresome, distraction. If she thought she was being raped, she should have used her 2nd Amendment right. Right? And did we ever get that list of politicians who committed “indicretions” that the slush fund paid for?
As elon musk so aptly put it, “commies are takers, not makers.” Not much difference between a nazi and a commie, they both luv to watch people suffer. This predator treats women like they’re his next meal and can never become a member of congress. There are already too many morally bankrupt officials collecting an obscene paycheck who hide behind a taxpayer-funded sexual slush fund that protects all manner of sin.
I’m done with the moral rot and staggering corruption….
God protect our Republic
The dude is gross and disgusting in my opinion. But accusations do not equal guilt. Innocent until proven guilty even if he’s a dirtbag.
5 years ago? If it wasn’t important then, it’s not important now. She should be required to show the police report for the assault. Skeptical.. 5 years ago he was not running for anything.
You all can absolutely hate me but until I made a conscious decision to accept a date from the biggest nerd in the company I worked for at the time, every…. single ….guy, who ever came near me was a forceful, pushy, hornball.
Life was a date rape field day for the 15 years, between 1974 and 1988, for me. All I ever did was try to find a guy that wasn’t a pig. It had a couple of good moments in between but they were short lived by the immature, relentless, dipshits in between.
The sexual revolution was a revolting free for all for men and I draw the line there.
F …… Cosmopolitan.
What a joke.
Thank you, Jesus for Pa.
If you’re a male who thought it was all suppose to come easy, at the expense of the other sex and haven’t repented, I suggest hitting your knees hard, yesterday.
Not long ago he was billed as some sort of New Democrat who projected the real masculinity that the party could ride to victory. So you’re telling me he’s just another Dem POS?
I like the theory that this was out there and the fear was that Collins would bring it out after the deadline. No matter what, this looks like desperation defense, the sign of a machine that looked smart as long as it had control but is now proving to be numb as a hake.
Drop out already, scumbag!
Seems like the exact same playbook they ran with Swallwell. Not to say dude isn’t super cringe worthy. But there’s something else going on. Probably a preferred DSA plant.
The else that’s going on … Platner’s polling has tanked.
His drop in the polls was recent but prior to this latest allegation …
And that was surely the plan. Now he has no choice but to leave – just in time for a replacement to be made. Likely an even worse communist.
If he had been polling ahead of Collins, he could have been a cannibal, pedophile and rapist. Polling is all that mattered.
She was reluctant to report the rapist because she agreed with the rapist’s politics. WHAT???
She is so brainwashed that she does not understand that his “politics”is what he uses to take from her what she would not otherwise give.
This is the religion of the left and created by communists (satanist) that invented this ideology/religion to capture the weak minded.
Once he is done with her and the others of her same mind virus, they will be discarded. Someone likely paid her a lot of money to report this.
The satanic leftist are only satisfied by the destruction of those who have not yet accepted Yeshua as Messiah. The adversary does this even knowing that his days are numbered.
“ Racicot said she was torn over coming forward in part because she agrees with Platner politically.”
That sentence in itself is sick and twisted steed.
Tgese people are f*cked up.
According to local sources there still is more stuff on this guy.
I’m waiting for the shoe to drop that he was sexting under age girls on KiK app.
On the money. What a piece of garbage to leave that monster free.
Putting Democommunism over her own rape.
That’s the mentality we’re facing.
Remember the democrat partry mantra: believe all women.

Keep an eye on Susan Rice, who has a home in Maine, to replace Graham Platner in the Maine Senate race.
6:52 PM · Jul 6, 2026
Susan Rice has a home in Maine that she inherited from her parents.
Her primary residence is supposedly in Washington, DC.
Tucker Carlson owns two homes in Maine.
Supposedly, his primary residence is in Florida.
It is unclear which state either of them files their respective homestead exemption.

It’s an Eric Swalwell situation where the man is an obvious, unhinged slimeball, but the Democrats covered it up until it became too politically inconvenient. I have no problem believing this creep probably did abuse some women.
So the Commies are taking out a badly flawed person in order to install an even worse one? See Biden/Kamala for Pres. circa 2024.
Another Platner rumor…

If true she should at least be able to show receipt for fixing door
It seems Platner has all the necessary attributes to become a DC politician.
Did he have a cigar?
This is a planned Democrat operation to install their “real” candidate (like they did Harris), without the primary battle.
I heard this discussion and time factor a couple weeks ago.
Democrats knew and they waited until it was too late, so they can install the chosen candidate. They have played this trick over and over. Voters chose this perv, let them vote.
Highly intoxicated …
Shakespeare once stated :-
“It provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance.”
The call has been made that the Uniparty Obama RINO needs to get re-elected because the Uniparty Obama Democrats are at war with the DSA wing of their party. The DSA wing of the Democrats are not Uniparty in the same manner MAGA isn’t Uniparty.
The difference: MAGA is America First, Constitution backing American loving, whereas the DSA are communists comprised of foreigners and American hating America last communist Americans.
Planter out, McConnell brain dead. Things are improving.
This says as much about the unstable mindset of liberal communist females as it does about the unstable pathological mindset of the communist males.
Rape, lie and probably rob is ok if you bond and say you are a Democrat. What is new.
So none of the concerning issues brought up about this guy mattered until a lefty with an (apparently) overwhelming number of receipts came to the fore.
Hilarious… love to see the left continue to shoot themselves in their collective foot.
Maybe they can shoehorn Kamala into the campaign, again… b/c of all of her prior experience being shoehorned into a campaign.
