Brand new reporting from the New York Times states that Graham Platner, Democratic candidate for Senate in Maine, "could be charming, women said in interviews, but some found his actions intimidating and disturbing." In response to the allegations, Platner's campaign told the Times: "Mr. Platner 'strongly disputes' any claims of physical intimidation or altercations." MS NOW has not independently verified these claims.
Nicolle Wallace is joined by Tim Miller and Molly Jong-Fast for reaction. - Aired on 06/04/2026.

(3,174 posts)Is that the best that the NYT, the perpetual protector of the biggest of big money interests can come up with?
"OK, maybe he wasn't a serial killer, but he did sometimes have a strange smile that we found, well, unsettling."

(3,174 posts)So many possibilities. Certainly AIPAC would be at the front of the line. Republicans would rather see Mills as the opponent, so they are candidates. But Platner has also been clear about the corruption that comes from money flowing into Dem pockets too. There are obviously a lot of Dems (including many here) who wish he did not exist.
That's just for starters. Anybody in the Military Industrial Complex should be afraid of Platner's message catching on, because he is basically saying we are making up most of these wars because it is so profitable to build ultra-expensive weapon systems that might have been good ideas in 1970 but make no sense in 2026.
And so on.
Probably all of the above and more. And mostly the same people who tried to stop Mamdani.
