Maine Senate Candidate Graham Platner Puts Target on Republicans' Backs in Disturbing Call to Action

Despite all of the revelations about him, including the boasts about being a communist, a cop-hater, and photos showing he had a Nazi-themed tattoo on his chest, Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner apparently is still a thing in Maine as his party shifts towards an even more aggressive and confrontational approach heading into 2026.

There has not been much polling in the Democrat primary so far, which at this early stage mainly features the Bernie Sanders-backed newcomer Platner and Maine Gov. Janet Mills. But what information is out there has shown that Platner has emerged as a formidable candidate against the Chuck Schumer-backed Mills, with both portraying themselves as the one best suited to defeat Sen. Susan Collins (R) and shake up things in the United States Senate.

Apparently with the thought in mind that doing anything other than going scorched earth on the Republican-controlled Senate and President Trump is a sign of an unwillingness to fight, Platner recently told a group of supporters during a campaign stop that he would encourage people to "yell" at any public official who didn't agree with the far-left's socialist agenda, and that they shouldn't get a moment's peace, including at restaurants:

"In the future, when we’re trying to vote on something like Medicare for All, if there are other members of the Maine delegation that don’t want to come along, we need to be able to impose costs," he said during a Saturday town hall in the southern Maine town of Windham. "We need to be able to turn people out to flood their offices. Frankly, I want people to follow them around and don’t let them have a public dinner without getting yelled at. Because that’s power. That’s real power."

If that sounds familiar to you, it should. Here's Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters (CA-43), urging a crowd of agitators to do the same thing in the summer of 2018, almost one year to the day that a deranged Bernie Sanders supporter tried to assassinate multiple GOP lawmakers during a Congressional baseball practice, nearly succeeding with Rep. Steve Scalise (LA-01):

Apparently, even after the targeted murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, allegedly over frustrations with the healthcare industry, the politically motivated assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk, and two attempted assassinations against then-GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, Platner's contribution to toning down the rhetoric is to... suggest it should intensify.

Once again, Democrats are telling us who they really are. And we should believe them.
