Explosive New Allegations Rock Graham Platner’s Senate Campaign
The hits keep coming against embattled Democrat candidate Graham Platner in the U.S. Senate race for Maine.
The New York Times released a report Thursday in which former girlfriends of Platner described a disdain for women, with one alleging physical intimidation and mistreatment. Platner also allegedly made bizarre comments about how he would rape someone if that person broke into his home.
Women romantically involved with Platner in the past described him as “demeaning to women and, in at least one case, even physically threatening.”
Lyndsey Fifield, who dated Platner on and off from 2013-2015, spoke to the Times about her experience. She said that Platner “regularly grabbed her by the shoulders—sometimes hard enough to leave marks—and, on one occasion, yanked her out of a cab by her wrist after an argument when she wanted to stay in the car.”
The report was released shortly before Thursday’s episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast.” Daily Signal national correspondent Tony Kinnett, who knows Fifield, addressing the new allegations against Platner on his show.
The Times report, Kinnett said, is “deeply troubling,” and there’s “a very good reason for a lot of panic on the inside of the Democratic Party because of some of these details.”

“During one argument, she recalled, he twisted her arm behind her back, shoved her into a bedroom and held the door closed from the other side so she couldn’t get out, telling her to remain there until she was ‘calm.’ Eventually, Ms. Fifield said, she fell asleep and left the next morning,” the Times reported, quoting Fifield as saying: “It hurt. It didn’t cause an injury. It didn’t break my arm.”
Notably, this detail is not referenced until the 22nd paragraph of the Times story. Kinnett blasted the Times for how it covered the new allegations, echoing........
