Former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino accused top Democrats of putting power ahead of principle in their decision to abandon Senate candidate Graham Platner after a bombshell rape allegation. Bongino stated that the left’s actions were driven by a desire for power, not principle.

Platner’s Campaign in Jeopardy

Platner’s campaign has been hit with two allegations of sexual impropriety, including a rape accusation and an accusation of removing condoms during sex without consent. Several Democrats, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, have rescinded their support for Platner or called on him to end his campaign.

Bongino and other Republicans have criticized Democrats for their sudden change of heart, arguing that it is motivated by a desire to maintain power rather than a commitment to principle. Platner’s campaign has denied both allegations, calling them categorically false and politically motivated.
