Being called a thug and the worst person ever to run for office by Donald Trump might be the highest compliment I have ever received.

Being called a thug and the worst person ever to run for office by Donald Trump might be the highest compliment I have ever received.

Watch whole video.

1. Makes me want to move to Maine so I could vote for him.

[Ponietz]

3. My thought exactly

[MuirHero]

11. I would vote for this guy as well!

Platner is a flawed candidate but who isn't? He has owed up to his shortcomings and I respect that. I wish he was running here in Pennsylvania so I could vote for him. I would be honored to have him as my senator.

[MyOwnPeace]

26. Would LOVE to see him.........

have a 'discussion' with our own 'dear turncoat' - John Fetterman!
THAT could be a pay-for-view for REAL Democrats!

[orangecrush]

2. Oh HELL YES

[ananda]

4. In fact, I'd wear it as a badge of honor!

Go Platner!

[MLWR]

5. Something about pots and kettles and the color black occurs to me.

He's got nothing but name-calling and the irony is that he's a million times worse than any name he can come up with.

6. Ayup

If the Pedo makes a campaign stop along the coast, I'm sure we can gift him a nice Lobster Salad roll with a special screwworm stuffing.

7. Badge of Honor!

[Emile]

8. Trump is terrified, and he should be.

[LAS14]

9. You go, Graham!!!!! nt

[Bengus81]

10. Ooohh....now no one will vote for him. Fat HITLER has spoken!!

Scared sheetless about losing that seat eh Trump?

[johnnyfins]

13. This is exactly right.

TSF doesnt even know who Platner is. Susan Collins HAS to go.

12. Repukes are obsessed with "Thugs".

They love to throw it at black men in particular, because they can't say the N word.

They have no idea where the word comes from. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-32538487

Then hip-hop took the word. Tupac had it tattooed onto his body, and Cleveland's Bone Thugs-N-Harmony sent the word into cars and living rooms across the country.

In this conception of the word, Garber writes, thugs "are both victims and agents of injustice, they are both the products and producers of violence, and mayhem, and outrage".

She's also been listening to how people have been using the word in the Baltimore riots.

"It's this very effective way of suggesting that the people who are doing the rioting and who are being called thugs don't actually have a right to their outrage," she says.

[Bengus81]

of cognitive dissonance to a whole new level. We need badly to invent a new term that embodies the accurate neurological damage inherently responsible in maga world that evokes the ludicrosity of individuals incapable of minimal reflection.

If their daily, casual projections were awarded Oscars they’d run out of gold and rancid butter.

18. So The fucking Sleep In Chief aka The Pedo in Chief

Has now decided to start messing with Graham Platner, a heroic young American, a Squad Leader, and a dude who truly has been through the wars, (literally).
Luckily for us, Graham Platner knows how to deal with oppressors/bullies but in this particular case, Graham knows that he is dealing with an imbecile/ insane traitor, and a decrepit old man who is obviously suffering from Alzheimer's disease and dementia, the same illnesses that The Sleep In Chief's father, Fred Trump died of.
🖕🏻
Perhaps the Traitor Sleep In Chief doesn't know that Graham Platner has nerves of steel and he is smart enough to compile a detailed mission
to exploit the Pedo’s weaknesses so that he can counterattack The Pedo in Chief's threats against him.

As is typically, the Sleep in Chief is using his
BS and his defensive psychological projections to get Graham Platner's attention.

Evidently, the Decrepit Sleep in Chief / Pedo
is unaware that the mighty, younger, and stronger Graham Platner will crush him. Likewise, Graham Platner will crush Susan Collins aka Corrupt Shaky Susan Collins as he did to the enemies when he was deployed to war zones.

Graham Platner, please make sure
that you crust both of them 💪🏻

19. Bravo Graham!

Make the orange dictator pay for attacking your difficult years. Many people have experienced tough times in their lives and you're a beacon of hope for them. The orange dictator is the very definition of the worst person to ever run for office and you'll be more than happy to point out just how rotten and corrupt the orange dictator is. I'm so rooting for you.

24. Dunno. I choose to recognize Donald's efforts during the Viet Nam era. While other guys were fighting "Charlie," Donald

had to fight Syph, The Clap, Herpes, crabs and later on, Aids.

Did you ever hear him complain about out it?

[Intractable]

25. Trump clearly explained that Dumocrats does not have a "b".

He said a lot of people don't know that the word "dumb" ends in "b".

He said you have to drop the "b" to get "Dumocrats."

[Joinfortmill]

27. If Trump hates him, he must be ok.

[Janbdwl72]

28. Platner could easily turn out to be

The Felon's worst nightmare, or one of his worst, certainly, once next January rolls around. Let's hope Maine voters use their heads and vote like they should--are they going to reject him for Collins? The Senator who votes with the Felon over 95% of the time and who cast a key vote for Kavanaugh to be a Supreme?

I think the majority of Maine residents, including women, independents, Democrats and a few Republicans, are too smart for fall for the MAGAts' right wing lies--I certainly hope they are!

He should be judged on recent years and his stands on the key issues--affordability, the rule of law, getting the country out of this horrific war of choice thanks to the Felon and other ridiculous policies of this so-called administration.
