It's just we should—
Like, that's just the reality.
So he was on with your colleague, Chris Hayes, last night.
It was a really good.
If you care about this and want to assess these accusations in his defense, you should watch the interview because Chris was, I think, really went through all of the elements of the story and all the other accusations pretty meticulously.
And Plattner responded to them.
I was on talking about it after.
And I just want to revise and extend my remarks on one point a little bit because.
sure thank you i think that this is a big risk to go with graham platner in maine if you're the democratic voters like maine is a very important state our democracy is on the line democrats to take the senate need to win four senate seats maine should be the easiest one it's the one that democrats won in 2016 20 and 2024. all these other states have been in states trump won so ostensibly you just need democrats to win and so it's like kind of a strange state to take a risk on
I simultaneously think that Graham Weiner has been like a very talented candidate and the people of Maine obviously like him.
And he's offered a message that resonates with people, which is that he's fucking pissed about the oligarchs.
He's pissed about people getting screwed over.
And he offered a way more compelling message than Janet Mills, who feels like she wanted to be anointed to the seats, like we're in a French aristocracy.
And I understand why the people of Maine resonate with him.
So I just think that those two facts can just live side by side, right?
Which is he's been a good candidate that people have resonated with.
It also feels a little risky given what we know and what we don't know.
And to the what we don't know, the one thing I just wish I would have said last night is on the topic of the tattoo, which I've talked about a lot,
I don't really care about it.
I think when he got it, he's probably a fuckboy having fun.
