“He’s the best candidate by far. And probing into the minutia of his personal relationships when you don't do that for any other candidate is ridiculous”
Actual Maine voters stand by Graham Platner:
“Does he have a problematic past? Yes, but I would rather have a redemption story than somebody telling you how wonderful they are, how much research they do, and yet they still make the wrong decision for the people of Maine”
“Would I date him? No, but we’re not looking for perfection. We are where we are, we have a Senate that’s controlled by the Republicans who are not holding this president in check and that is a higher priority”
if you oppose israel as a politician or a public figure, a lot of political operatives & mainstream publications will actively try to humiliate & make a lesson out of you. just remain steadfast and remember, no amount of manufactured outrage will wash the blood off their hands.
I’m tired of hearing about that man in Maine. His supporters will make excuses and spin their wheels until anything related to him makes sense, while principled people like me ask: why the fuck wasn’t he properly vetted? So embarrassing on so many levels.
Conservatives are being very clear that the Platter story is retribution for Kavanaugh.
Not surprisingly, they're all best friends with the story's subject, who worked for the organization that helped Susan Collins justify her vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh.
To recap:
- Dem and Rep operatives spend the week setting the narrative that Graham Platner is a predator
- Pro-Israel NYT runs a story on Graham Platner
- Done by a pro-Israel reporter
- No SA allegation
- They talk to 6 exes. 3 say he was fine.
- 2 of the remainder say he drank and womanized
- The last is a Conservative activist who protected Brett Kavanaugh
- She claims Platner trapped her in a room
- The NYT reads her diaries, texts, Google Chats, and Facebook messages. Nothing corroborates her story.
- NYT finds a text from the accuser saying she "Would personally campaign for Susan Collins."
This is the most obvious Zionist smear campaign in history.
It's kind of wild to find out that the Republican in the NYT story that says she had a toxic relationship with Graham Platner is Lyndsey Fifield. Having been in DC for too long, I know a decent number of people who know her quite well. For a long time she was the co-host of a podcast with her best friend Bethany Mandel, called Ladybrains, though she has also worked for multiple super PACs, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Heritage Foundation.
Some background, presented without judgment: In 2014, Fifield began work as digital director for American Action Network, a Republican Super PAC that oversees House races. The next year she became social media manager for the Heritage Foundation, where she stayed for the next seven years.
In 2022, she joined the Super PAC backing Nikki Haley for president, switching to the official campaign side the next year, and staying until the campaign flamed out. She now lists herself as a visiting fellow at the Independent Women’s Forum, a prominent dark money group that is best known for helping usher Brett Kavanaugh on to the Supreme Court and giving Susan Collins the talking points she needed to make her decisive speech in his favor.
The NYT breezed past all this, saying she was "a Virginia conservative who has worked for right-leaning groups and Republican campaigns."
In an interview for a news outlet called Red Alert Politics that named her to a “30 under 30” list back in 2016, she said that she wanted to “emulate the late conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart’s approach to online activism.” Breitbart, known for pushing the boundaries when it came to political combat, is perhaps best remembered for having exposed Anthony Weiner’s penchant for sending nudes to young girls, and for his work elevating James O’Keefe.
That she worked for Independent Women's Forum recently is even wilder since IWF played a critical role in Kavanaugh's confirmation and in persuading Collins to support it.
Heather Higgins, chair of IWF, laid out the group’s role in a talk several years ago. “We wrote a memo. It was used by a lot of members of the Senate and the House, Fox News, and elsewhere. Most important, Susan Collins told me that without that memo, she would not see how to support him,” Higgins said. “And if you look at the speech she gave on the Senate floor, it’s entirely the playing out and architecture of how we said to structure the argument — what to say and how to say it, which is just so gratifying. We’re watching TV and we’re like, ‘That’s ours! That’s ours!’”
Meanwhile, the timeline Fifield gives of their relationship is confusing, because during at least some of that time she was actually dating a different person, her longterm boyfriend who became her fiancee before she called off the wedding in 2018. We all know this because she and Mandel did a podcast episode on it that went mega-viral in Republican circles back then. Apparently this is the kind of thing the NYT thinks is important now, so I guess it requires more reporting. I'll report back.
Here is Heather Higgins celebrating IWF's role in getting Susan Collins to confirm Kavanaugh:
Dem Sen. Whitehouse says he’s “not impressed” by the allegations against Graham Platner in the latest NYT report.
“Seems like a lot of nothing. I mean, the only one who had anything to say that seemed ‘unsettling’ was a woman who works for right-wing political operations.”
The NY Times on the insistence of Zionists attempted to Slander Graham Platner by trying to fabricate a story painting him as an abuser. When its very obvious when read with any critical thought that these are baseless allegations from a Susan Collins staffer.
Its quite something to see the propaganda machine go into overdrive.
The good news is their play book is old, and we know their tricks. Our guy in Maine is Teflon. Platner will win.
