I think the Plattner campaign was trying to push this narrative that he was a changed man and that this was somebody who maybe had a troubled past, but had gone on some kind of journey of, you know, reparations and had somehow reformed himself, his behavior.
And I think a lot of us want to give grace to others and to believe in the possibility of
self-improvement, of growth, of change.
But the New York Times article made clear that this wasn't just a set of problematic posts online.
This was a worldview about women and what they deserve and a willingness to act that out in a way that was demonstrable physical violence.
What was in that article itself was quite severe and for me was a red line and made clear that this was a pattern of disrespecting women and that that was enough of a red flag to pull my support.
So when Jenny first made contact with The New York Times, actually, they made contact with her.
So let's be accurate there.
They reached out to her.
Her boundary was pretty clear that she never wanted to come out named on the record if the story of sexual violence was going to be told in full.
That felt like a violation to her identity.
If you read the piece, it says, you know, he showed up to her house uninvited, drunk, and she declined to elaborate on what happened next.
I don't think that that landed in the way that she intended and that, you know, clearly people still weren't getting the full extent of what Plattner was capable of.
So we were connected to Jenny by organizers on the ground in Maine.
who handed our information over to her and, you know, let her know that we had resources for survivors.
She reached out, and ultimately in that process, you know, we discussed what she might be comfortable with and how she could leave this experience feeling the most at peace.
And for her, it was...
making sure that he was not able to garner any additional power that he could use to harm other women, and that people knew who he was when they were making their decision, that Maine voters knew exactly who he was.
And so eventually she came to the point where she was comfortable going on the record and very bravely, even on camera, detailing what happened that night.
Well, I don't want to be overly simplistic about this, but the truth is we have a vetting standard in politics for a reason.
