It's a disgrace he made it as far as he did, we're supposed to be better than this.

The goatee didn’t help.

Paywall

Another red flag: when even your staff no longer believes you

Fatal flaw: campaign leaders who have zero clue that there are people who have the character and judgement do not have done what Platner did, and who have the courage to be honest and forthcoming about their mistakes.

"Nazi tattoo" should've been the end of his campaign.

Oh, I neeeeeed more tea! An Indy journalist came for me when I said to dump him after the Nazi tattoo, and another when I said I believed the Republican rape victim.

Hey, WSJ. I don't think it actually hiding. Some of us have been screaming about him for months.

Platner is a person who assigns no moral valence to his actions. He’s not a victim — rather a willing accomplice. In the Marines his morality was outsourced to the military. On leaving his disregard for moral valence has been a signature characteristic- mercenary, drunkard, rapist, liar.

He has a nazi tattoo that was enough to say he shouldn’t run.

I mean this pretty much had to be the case, didn't it?

wow, what happened to all those fawning stories about him listening to people? ah right, those weren't people he already controlled, those were marks.

I don’t like that people are hedging by calling it sexual assault. There are differences between sexual assault and rape, sexual assault can be a variety of conduct, rape is very clear. He is being accused of rape by his ex.

People who shall remain nameless ignored the misogyny in his Reddit posts in favor of all the other stuff they liked. Maybe they should have believed him when he showed them who he was.

The whole Nazi, rapist thing? You mean a hired killer, Nazi, rapist had bigots on staff who hate women. SHOCK. THE ABSOLUTE SHOCK.

Can we admit that most of us were duped?

He gives me the willies. Really bad vibes.

As long as he"s out. Nominate a WOMAN!

Looking forward to not hearing him talked about after Monday...unless he ratfucks the Democratic Party and refuses to drop.

It’s just Bernie Bro-ism pt. 2

The timing was interesting. Almost like they were waiting until the last moment. 🤔

What a shock!

Vote for women

When does he get arrested?

I’ve been around a lot people that could not distinguish between their own incompetence and sexual harassment. Corporate America literally gets trained on this annually. Without specifics and context, I take these reports in high-stakes operations with 10 grains of coarse sea salt

Oh look, it’s the Bernie bros

at some point you have to ask what Platner's team knew about him, and knowing what liabilities we know now, why were they comfortable with pushing him forward into the public eye anyways

Predictable as fuck.

We need a difficult conversation about the rampant misogyny in some of these lefty spaces. The tolerance for violence against women amongst candidates is absolutely mirrored by the acceptance of poor treatment of women amongst staff. And too many men hide behind their progressive bonafides.

It wasn’t hiding!!!!! Idk why ppl can’t accept the truth.

It’s telling that they pretend there was only one red flag. Maybe I have a better idea of red flags? Like Nazi tattoos?

Believe women, god damn it

I see why the tired old crew of Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Michael Tracey are grumbling from the sidelines that Platner is getting a raw deal. They’ve never met a misogynist they couldn’t find common cause with.

shocking behavior from the 🐍 emoji & 'bend the knee' crowd

Let's listen to the WSJ now because this is vitally important!!!! Forget secret police, corruption, or even war. Pay attention to this! Wash, rinse, repeat. When will you wise up????

Platner feels like a Sinema/Fetterman type of project more and more and more

All about the oysters bro

Was it red flag #14? Oh, wait, wait...was it red flag #38?

No wonder. Have you seen (I know you have) the WSJ interview of that preposterous jerk? #VattingProcess

The multiple red FLAGS weren’t hiding even a little bit. Unless you chose to wear thick blindfolds of misogyny, Islamophobia, and antisemitism. #Platner

Remarkable, the amount of grace an undeserving Platner was given (all of it) versus what he’s retuned to the people who earned it (none of it).

Paxton?

That'd be the same ones all over Twitter and here telling everyone that Graham needs to stay the course because skanks are always lying about men to ruin them? Yeah. That tracks.

This tracks.

What is that people want inexperienced people in very important positions? Do they want a brain surgeon with no experience? We are a nation of idiots

I’m reading this with caution. Establishment dems are using this as an opening to attack and discredit anyone associated with that rapist’s campaign. I’m inclined to say this because Neera Tanden has been attacking anyone left of Mitt Romney

The Democrats need a better vetting system. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/07/the-...

So. Very. Shocked. CHUDs flock together. A group of CHUDs should be called a misogyny.

When someone shows you their Nazi tattoo, don't give them the benefit of the doubt. Doesn't matter how white and bearded they are. Someone like that is not your friend.

This part was also disturbing in a Kid Rock kind of way…

Bernie 2016 all over again

And yet they flocked to him like moths to a flame.

The "costly miscalculation" was being a piece of shit & the bonfire of red flags was reminiscent of a classic book burning Hiding in plain sight 🙄

“Red flag hiding in plain sight” do these people not understand what a red flag is? serious question. is this just a really silly misunderstanding about the definition of 🚩that we can easily fix and laugh about over appletinis in seven years? please

People were screaming very seriously about how much of a red flag this guy was while the pundits and podcast bros did the world's most abominable Mr Noodle impression.

Sounds like the Bernie Bros were in charge.

He had more support from women than men.

But the @podsaveamerica.crooked.com Bros and the white male journos were impressed

Also WSJ: fork found in kitchen. The idea that this is a surprise is just fucking shocking.

I mean, yeah I guess, but again Nazi Tattoo??

Misogynists gonna misogyn! 😑

These dudes are all over NA.

So, between Sanders, Trump, and Platner, it's almost like Putin thinks US women fantasize about being dehumanized by three men. www.nytimes.com/2019/01/02/u...

Sexism Claims From Bernie Sanders’s 2016 Run: Paid Less, Treated Worse (Published 2019)www.nytimes.com

It is normal; Sexism is normal That's why we, Society tolerate it. all Women are second class We need to own that or we're always going to be. More people need to open their eyes and see that women of all colours and cultures are treated as second class! Why do women *act* surprised? Complicity!

They had a red flag hiding in plain sight, in the shape of a Nazi tattoo

WSJ reporting nothing that isn’t, already, known

Their goal was to beat Collins. Progressive Democrats didn't care who was the candidate. Could have been Joseph Stalin and they would have still been there.

The red flag was literally tattooed on his chest.

People saying “Platner’s issue was personal not political” ignore the fact that misogyny is in fact political.

Can someone share a gift article version?

It’s quite the story. It tells us as much about the “whizz kids” Moraff and Katz and their “anti establishment” “ change” hype as it does Platner. I mean is it there anything more “establishment” than ignoring allegations of sexual misconduct?

Tracks. 🙄

Unlocked article archive.is/ddyy8

I know his type so well. Ugh.

Stop using the lie populist

He was just a bad person that thought he wouldn’t get in trouble and how could he not think it would bite him back worst part of it it wasn’t just him but the country and the democrats that it bit too.

Also, he was a gleeful murderer with a Nazi tattoo.

What was his response? “Yes, and?”

Heard the same thing reported by the Ron Suskind about the Obama administration. Anita Dunn was caught on tape telling Ron Suskind that the Obama administration, "Actually fit all of the classic legal requirements for a genuinely hostile workplace to women." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/fri...

Friction over women’s role in Obama White House was intenseThere was much friction over the role of women in the Obama White House during the first two years of his tenure.www.washingtonpost.com

It wasn't hiding at all. The only people who didn't see the red flags were people who didn't want to.

as above, so below huh?

"Nobody knew! We were fooled." Liberals.

Shocking! And he did nothing. 🤨

Shocking that this doesn’t shock me.

He’s just another fucking scumbag that’s all that dude is no more no less and he deserves what every other fucking womanizer rapist pedophile misogynistic piece of shit deserves and we all know what that is. I’m not gonna write it.

I think it's time for all the dirt on this guy to be released until he officially drops out. One new nugget every hour until he does. There has to be a lot more out there.

Narrators voice: it wasn’t hiding though, it was actually in plain sight

it’s been incredible watching so many news orgs, general populace, etc act surprised, and kind of even insulted, that most Americans still have like extremely basic and reasonable moral standards like not being a Nazi or sex pest

It is disappointing when the Democratic Party fails at basic competence.

This is why I’m fed up with both parties. Republicans because they hate us. And Democrats for not properly vetting Platner in a race against Susan, I’m Disappointed, Collins. I just want political leaders who are boring, competent and of good moral character.

Very relevant that a lot of this was driven by men who run advertising companies.

Were their ideas bad? Like “let’s stop being against genocide so the party backs us?” Like a bunch of mini-Gillibrands.

big "does the czar know" energy here 😔

still think the biggest red flag is being a war criminal

Misogyny in a Bernie backed candidate is a feature, not a bug.

Oh that fucking headline though

*shakes head*

Fuuuuuck yeah that would've been a good thing to know way earlier

didn't his campaign manager leave early on too? someone high up was shouting about his stupid ass

😢😡

As above, so below - and vice versa!
