Graham Platner – Screencap of YouTube video.
The Gateway Pundit has reported on the disturbing Reddit posts unearthed from far-left Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner, including crude sexual remarks.
The Gateway Pundit further reported that concerns about Platner, a 41-year-old Marine veteran turned radical leftist, arose last year after it was revealed that one of his tattoos resembles the infamous Nazi SS Totenkopf skull and crossbones, and the Redditt revelations have only increased concerns about his fitness and ability to serve in office.
News outlets have reported on additional posts by Platner, which show him mocking rural white people, calling himself a communist, and calling Jesus a “zombie.”
Crude comments aside, perhaps one of the most disturbing Reddit threads uncovered concerns his temperament and ability to lead following comments toward a fellow American military brother who was wounded and almost killed in action.
Per Fox News:
“This video never gets old,” the Reddit account “P-Hustle” — which Platner has acknowledged he owned — posted in June 2019, in reference to a viral video from the helmet cam of Pfc. Ted Daniels taken during a clash with Taliban fighters in 2012 that ended in Daniels being shot four times.
He earned a Purple Heart for his injuries.
“Dumb motherf—– didn’t deserve to live.
At least his stupidity and fat a– wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt.
Poor marksmanship on the Taliban’s part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible s— decision possible when it comes to small unit combat.”
Although Platner mocked him, Pfc. Daniels, while serving in Kunar Province, Afghanistan, with the 4th Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, deliberately stepped into the open to draw Taliban fire away from the rest of his squad, which consisted of seven other soldiers.
So, the video that “never gets old’ for Platner is a brother in arms being shot multiple times by the Taliban and sustaining several injuries.
Pfc. Daniels later received a Purple Heart.
But to Platner, Daniels, then 37 and the father of two, was just a “dumb motherf—–” that “didn’t deserve to live.”
Watch Daniels stepping into the open to draw enemy fire away from his squad (warning graphic):
