The Senate campaign of Graham Platner is now almost certainly kaput, as several women have come forward with stunning abuse revelations, shocking behavior from him, and more disgusting remarks while they dated.
The New York Times dropped the bombshell of the 2026 election cycle on Tuesday with separate claims from former lovers of Platner who independently say he engaged in predatory behavior.
Interestingly, Platner invited these allegations after several news reports confirmed he had sent sexual messages to women while married. Platner reached out to several of his exes to ask whether they would say he may have been a bad boyfriend but otherwise a good guy.
While some of the women told Platner what he wanted to hear, three offered a more sinister picture after the New York Times reached out.
The Times reported:
In extensive conversations over the past two months, three other women who had been romantically involved with Mr. Platner offered a far more complicated assessment, describing volatile and “toxic” relationships that were unsettling and at times emotionally wrenching.
Mr. Platner could be charming and charismatic, they recalled in interviews, but also demeaning to women and, in at least one case, even physically threatening. He drank heavily and was regularly unfaithful.
40-year-old Lyndsey Fifield, a Virginia conservative who dated Platner between 2013 and 2015, called him “cavalierly contemptuous of women’s emotions, of our ‘weakness.’
She added that Platner “reminded me of just how much he hated women.”
41-year-old Jenny Racicot, a Maine Democrat who dated Platner between 2019 and 2021, said that his sexist Reddit posts about women were not sh*tposting, but true to his character.
“When I saw the old comments that he made online,” she said, “I recognized a version of him that I had experiences with.”
A third woman, also from Maine, had a long-distance relationship with Mr. Platner on and off for years, as recently as 2016. She said she was “collateral damage to the world that is his.”
But the most volatile relationship Platner had was with Fifield. This included him making some incredibly disturbing comments right in front of her.
The most shocking comment that Fifield recalled Platner saying? “I would r*pe them to show them that I’m dominant.
From the New York Times:
He had what she described as a “warrior ethos” and would fantasize about killing people he deemed a threat, she said. She said he told her that r*pe was about power.
It was something that stuck with her through the years, Ms. Fifield said.
“He said this a lot: If anybody ever broke in here, I would r*pe them,” she recalled, saying that he added that it would not be in “a sexual way, not in a gay way.”
“He was like, I would r*pe them to show them that I’m dominant,” she said.
Fifield also recalled that Platner engaged in studious behavior. This included him keeping an AR-15 lying around his apartment on Capitol Hill and sharpening an ax while watching television.
Fifield added that Platner was not only fully aware but proud of his Nazi tattoo, calling it “my Totenkopf”, which is also reported by Politico. He also described women as “hatchet wounds.”
Fifield further confirmed that Platner had a serious drinking problem and was abusive toward her. This left her scared.
Such abusive actions included grabbing her by the shoulders, twisting her arm behind her back, and essentially imprisoning her inside a bedroom.
From the Times:
She said he 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.
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.
“It hurt,” she said.
In response to the allegations, Platner said that he “too often self-medicated with alcohol, and was a far from perfect boyfriend.”
He added that this all occurred during what he described as a “very dark period of my life.”
