‘Dangerous game’: Former Biden aide warns Democratic Party against backing Platner

Fox News Digital spoke to former Jill Biden press secretary Michael LaRosa about the rifts Graham Platner’s Maine Senate campaign is causing within the Democratic Party.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

The world learned this week that Graham Platner, the Maine Democrat all but set to win his party's Senate primary next month, has been sexting up to 12 women in the past few years while married. For Platner, this just added to his Cadillac Mountain of scandals.

You are likely familiar with the fact that the so-called oyster farmer has a Nazi tattoo that he covered up only after lying about knowing its meaning. He also has a long history off-color Reddit posts, including remarks blaming women for being raped.

What was most telling about these sordid new sexting revelations wasn’t that it exposed Platner as a creep. We already knew that. It was that the leak came from a fellow Democrat.

The party may be starting to realize they have created a Marxist monster they can’t control.
