Platner's campaign team clearly didn't think this through when they reached out to Dave Portney, a Jew, for commentary on the Red Sox ownership.

The man has no filter. He's like Trump but for the Dems."Platner's deleted Reddit sparks outrage again as he appears to mock wounded soldier: 'Didn't deserve to live'
Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner’s deleted Reddit account has continued to cause headaches for his campaign in recent months, and a recently resurfaced post appearing to mock a U.S. soldier almost killed in combat is stirring up more controversy.
"This video never gets old," the Reddit account "P-Hustle" — which Platner has acknowledged he owned — posted in June 2019, in reference to a viral video from the helmet cam of Pfc. Ted Daniels taken during a clash with Taliban fighters in 2012 that ended in Daniels being shot four times. He earned a Purple Heart for his injuries.
"Dumb motherf----- didn't deserve to live. At least his stupidity and fat a-- wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt. Poor marksmanship on the Taliban's part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible s--- decision possible when it comes to small unit combat.""

This guy needs some help. This is the best the Democrats can do.
The man has no filter. He's like Trump but for the Dems.
I suppose the left will start telling us to ignore when Platner says and only pay attention to what he does.
The playbooks get switched but the story remains the same.
Graham Platner is a running as a Democrat for the U.S. Senate in Maine against Republican incumbent Susan Collins. He's recently been dogged with revelations of incredibly offensive Reddit posts he's made over the years, some more recent. His comments include calling rural people dumb and racist, anti-police rhetoric, and blaming rape victims and military veterans suffering from PTSD as putting themselves in those situations in the first place. He's also proclaimed himself a Communist and drug user.
One would expect he'd have been immediately disavowed by the Democratic Party, but instead, they've mainly gone on an apology tour for him because he made a four minute video claiming he's changed and those views no longer represent him. We know, of course, were he a Republican the knives would be out and no amount of contrition would ever be acceptable. Now, to make matters worse, it's been discovered he has a tattoo on his chest widely associated with NAZI sympathizers. Congressman Ro Khanna is still defending him and is blaming the Democratic Party on this opposition research dump to clear the path for Maine Governor Janet Mills instead.
