Bernie-Endorsed Maine Senate Candidate's Campaign Implodes As Dems in Disarray Hits Fever Pitch – RedState

The Maine primary isn’t until June 9th, 2026, but a civil war is brewing in the state among Democrats already, pitting establishment types against the more hard-left socialist wing, and, lucky for the rest of us, much of this is playing right out into the open.





As we reported in mid-October, Maine’s governor, Janet Mills (D), threw her hat into the ring even as questions were being raised among fellow Democrats about her age (77), stamina, and her ability to draw younger voters into the fold.

To try and alleviate those concerns, Mills declared in an interview that “Honestly, I would not plan to serve for more than one term. But this time is vital, and this moment in our history is urgent and very troublesome.” But even political novices understand how those vows usually work out, once the person gets into office and begins enjoying the perks of the position and the power it brings.

But Mills’ ascension to the nomination is not a foregone conclusion. There are several competitors, with Bernie Sanders-backed oyster farmer Graham Platner, a military veteran, seemingly being the biggest obstacle.

Platner and his supporters, including Sanders, have promoted him as a folksy, “working-class” candidate who, despite a lack of political experience, can beat longtime Sen. Susan Collins (R). But, like Virginia’s Democrat attorney general nominee Jay Jones, he’s been hit with a wave of self-inflicted scandals that mostly center around his time as a Reddit commenter, with some dating back to 2013 and others as recent as 2021 (language warning):





Graham Platner, a Marine veteran turned oyster farmer who is now a rising Democratic Senate candidate in Maine, once called himself a “communist,” dismissed “all” police as bastards, and said rural White Americans “actually are” racist and stupid, according to deleted social media posts reviewed by CNN’s KFile.

His responses to the Reddit controversy have been, in large part, to suggest that he is a different person now. But on the black tipping post, here’s what he had to say:





Another controversy has now emerged, centering around a tattoo that a former acquaintance claimed Platner knowingly got because of its alleged Nazi connotations:

The official explanation:

Needless to say, Sanders and some of Platner’s other supporters are fuming, and are pointing the finger at Sen. Majority Leader Schumer (D-NY) and the DSCC:





Should someone’s internet posts, some of which date back over 10 years, be held against them in a political campaign? Considering how Democrats dug into Brett Kavanaugh’s 1983 yearbook to try to find dirt, I’d say that such posts are fair game, and it’s especially delicious that it’s being done in the context of a primary campaign.

Democrat infighting never gets old. Carry on, y’all. Carry on.


Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.

On April 12, 2021, a Knoxville police officer shot and killed an African American male student in a bathroom at Austin-East High School. The incident caused social unrest, and community members began demanding transparency about the shooting, including the release of the officer’s body camera video. On the evening of April 19, 2021, the Defendant and a group of protestors entered the Knoxville City-County Building during a Knox County Commission meeting. The Defendant activated the siren on a bullhorn and spoke through the bullhorn to demand release of the video. Uniformed police officers quickly escorted her and six other individuals out of the building and arrested them for disrupting the meeting. The court upheld defendants’ conviction for “disrupting a lawful meeting,” defined as “with the intent to prevent [a] gathering, … substantially obstruct[ing] or interfere[ing] with the meeting, procession, or gathering by physical action or verbal utterance.” Taken in the light most favorable to the State, the evidence shows that the Defendant posted on Facebook the day before the meeting and the day of the meeting that the protestors were going to “shut down” the meeting. During the meeting, the Defendant used a bullhorn to activate a siren for approximately twenty seconds. Witnesses at trial described the siren as “loud,” “high-pitched,” and “alarming.” Commissioner Jay called for “Officers,” and the Defendant stated through the bullhorn, “Knox County Commission, your meeting is over.” Commissioner Jay tried to bring the meeting back into order by banging his gavel, but the Defendant continued speaking through the bullhorn. Even when officers grabbed her and began escorting her out of the Large Assembly Room, she continued to disrupt the meeting by yelling for the officers to take their hands off her and by repeatedly calling them “murderers.” Commissioner Jay called a ten-minute recess during the incident, telling the jury that it was “virtually impossible” to continue the meeting during the Defendant’s disruption. The Defendant herself testified that the purpose of attending the meeting was to disrupt the Commission’s agenda and to force the Commission to prioritize its discussion on the school shooting. Although the duration of the disruption was about ninety seconds, the jury was able to view multiple videos of the incident and concluded that the Defendant substantially obstructed or interfered with the meeting. The evidence is sufficient to support the Defendant’s conviction. Defendant also claimed the statute was “unconstitutionally vague as applied to her because the statute does not state that it includes government meetings,” but the appellate court concluded that she had waived the argument by not raising it adequately below. Sean F. McDermott, Molly T. Martin, and Franklin Ammons, Assistant District Attorneys General, represent the state.
