And lest anyone think I'm exaggerating...nope. I've read this board and its predecessor for too long not to get to know these people. Here's the View today discussing Platner:
The View" co-host Sunny Hostin called Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner "a liar, a racist, an antisemite" on Monday but still defended supporting his run for office in order for Democrats to win the Senate majority in November's midterm elections.
Platner has faced a series of controversies in recent weeks, including criticism over a tattoo with links to Nazi imagery, resurfaced Reddit posts in which he made inflammatory comments about veterans, sexual assault and political opponents, and reports about sexually explicit messages exchanged with other women during his marriage.
During a discussion of Platner's latest scandal, Hostin admitted that she was conflicted due to her belief that the Democrats need to win back Congress.
"So he's a liar, a racist, an antisemite. He's a homophobe," she said. "So he has all the things and character does matter. But we have someone that has almost unbridled power in the White House at this point. There are no checks and balances and the only way that we can maybe bring a bit of our democracy back is by having a Congress that functions and that has these checks and balances. And I do think one of the only ways is to win that seat in Maine."
There you go. The only way to save democracy is to elect Nazis. You can't make up this level of craven stupidity, but then again, I've read this board and the other one for years so yeah, this is the modern democrat party.
