Graham Platner and New Wave left detest Western exceptionalism

How many scandals can beset a major party Senate candidate before the party jettisons him or her? How extreme can such a candidate become before he or she is dumped?  If you’re part of the Democrat party apparatus in Maine, the answer seems to be that nothing is too extreme.Nothing is too scandalous.  By this point, everyone has heard the sordid stories of Graham Platner.

The allegations that he twisted an ex’s arm and yanked her out of a cab by her wrist after an argument (he has denied this).The admittance of sexting women shortly after getting married.
