So Graham Plattner there clearly refuting the allegations that were put to him.
But since the story broke, an ex-girlfriend of Plattner also told The Washington Post that he took off protection during sex multiple times without consent.

And, you know, the Democrat I was speaking to is more of a centrist, more of an establishment candidate.
But something I'm sure you've seen online as well, Anthony, is he said, you know what the establishment does well?
