You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson. Good Tuesday morning. Nice to have you with us on the 47 Morning Update, and we've got very big breaking news. First up, Graham Plattner is accused of breaking into a woman's house and sexually assaulting her. The campaign has now canceled multiple events and Democrats are now saying, okay, maybe you should drop out. So why did it take so long? We break down the timeline. It's the 47 morning update and it starts right now. Story number one. Graham Plattner, the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Maine, is now facing yet again another devastating allegation from a former partner, Jenny Rasico, who told Politico that while she and Plattner had been involved in an on-and-off relationship in 2021, he allegedly entered her rural Maine home uninvited one night while intoxicated.
Plattner allegedly forced himself on her while she repeatedly told him to stop. She told Politico, She explained that, quote, Plattner, of course, has come out just like he has with all the other allegations against him, denying the allegations and calling it false and politically motivated. But the political fallout has now been immediate and severe. Democrats who were protecting him at all costs are now, well, saying, OK, maybe it's time for him to get out of the race. And that is the story, not just the allegation itself, but the way the Democratic Party handled Graham Plattner until it became politically impossible to keep pretending that this was somehow not a problem. Now, this was not the first red flag.
And that's what voters need to remember. Plattner had already faced scrutiny over disturbing past online comments and allegations about his behavior towards women and even a tattoo of the SS. Yes, the Nazi tattoo on his chest, which, of course, he said he did not understand at the time and later than covered it up. Yet there's video out there and others who said, oh, he knew exactly what it meant. And even with all of those allegations and problems, what did the Democratic Party do? What did the progressives do? What did the socialists do? What did the communists do? They backed him and rallied behind him and kept giving him funding. They treated every warning sign like a Republican smear campaign instead of actually looking at the facts.
Now, after this latest allegation, the same party that protected him is running for the exit. It reminds me a lot of Eric Swalwell in California. When they realized it could cost them the governor's mansion, they decided to turn on the guy they protected at all costs. Representative Ro Khanna has now withdrawn his endorsement and urged Plattner to leave the race. Senator Ruben Gallego, for example, as well as in Citizens United, they both now pulled their support. Maine Democratic leaders are also calling on him to withdraw, saying the party needs to move on and focus on defeating the Republican Senator Susan Collins.
