What a difference political affiliation makes. Democrat Graham Platner is now on the outs with the party, not because of assaulting women, but because he is accused of assaulting a fellow Democrat. That party has lost its soul, as has the media.

When Platner was accused of assaulting and abusing a conservative woman he dated, none of these people cared. “She can’t be trusted, she’s a conservative activist,” they said. The devotion to victims, the currency of victimhood, disappeared when it wasn’t one of “their team.” 

Ro Khana, a “progressive” leftist hypocrite from California who rails against wealth while amassing a fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars through marriage and stock trades, was unbothered when a conservative woman told of how Platner was physically abusive with her, just as long as “there were no more shoes to drop.” 

Well, as a candidate, Graham Platner was a DSW at an outlet mall – with more shoes to drop than a millipede. None of it mattered as long as it didn’t register in the polls. Democrats were more than happy to ignore the horrible things he did and said because they want to win and they thought he could. As long as his victims could be easily dismissed.

The left has a long history of this,........
