A woman has come forward with allegations of infidelity and deception against Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner. The woman, who claims to have dated Platner in 2021, shared her story on social media, stating that she was attracted to Platner’s Tinder profile because he was a self-described leftist.
Allegations of Infidelity
The woman alleged that Platner was unfaithful to her during their relationship, and that he had been engaged to another woman at the time they started dating. She also claimed that Platner had cheated on her with a third woman. Platner’s campaign has not commented on the allegations, but a spokesperson stated that Platner has answered questions about his past and has covered up a controversial tattoo.
The tattoo in question is a Totenkopf symbol, which was used by the Nazi SS. Platner has said that he got the tattoo in ignorance, but the woman claims that he told her it was a reminder that the US is viewed as ‘the bad guys’ in many parts of the world. Platner’s campaign has said that he has since covered up the tattoo and has answered questions about it.
Campaign Under Fire
Platner’s campaign has been under fire in recent weeks due to his past comments on sexual abuse, race, and terror. The new allegations have added to the controversy surrounding his campaign. The woman who made the allegations stated that she did not intend to derail Platner’s campaign, but that she shared her concerns about his character.
