Graham Platner's Strategist Defended Him Prior to His Sexual Assault Allegations
Graham Platner's rise happened entirely outside the Democratic Party's establishment, handpicked by a group of independent activists.
Before a woman Platner was romantically involved with publicly alleged that he sexually assaulted her, WSJ's Aaron Zitner reported on the strategy behind the activists' gamble on the Maine Democratic Senate nominee.
The sexual assault allegation, which Platner denied, has prompted top Senate Democrats and close allies to rescind their endorsements, cut off funding and call for him to drop out.
Sen. Bernie Sanders said on Tuesday that he had spoken with Platner and “in light of these very serious allegations, I have recommended that he step aside.”
