There are articles about him in the Atlantic, NYMag and other paywall sites.

Some of these articles are a month old, but who is gonna read them if they are paywalled?

Sure other well-heeled people across the country will read them, but most voters are not well-heeled

Yep, he didn't vet his candidate.

One of Platner/Katz's staffers quit and went to work for a rival campaign after she found some old racist/sexists Reddit posts by Platner. (This was last fall) Katz blew off the Reddit posts as PTSD or something.

There is something in the campaign business called "integrity". This team blew it in this case.
