(3,535 posts)So it's not Platner's fault that he's dealing with the fallout of, let me check my notes here...
1. Getting a Nazi tattoo
2. Engaging in toxic and abusive behavior towards women
3. Allegedly raping women
4. Sexting with multiple women immediately after getting married
It's not his fault that those things derailed his Senate campaign, but the fault of the Democrats?
Wow, okay. I guess that's one way to look at it.
I look at it as he made a ton of truly awful choices and the chickens finally came home to roost. That's not the Democratic Party's fault. That is his fault since he, not Democrats, made those choices. Then he had sufficient hubris to run for high office knowing full well that his past would be put under the microscope.
Platner is not a victim here and trying to spin it that way is frankly bizarre.
And please do me a kindness and don't bring up genocide in an attempt to defend him. It doesn't work.
