Hostin, speaking on the show\u2019s \u201cHot Topics\u201d segment, said Platner is needed to win the Maine seat to help \u201cbring back a bit of our democracy,\u201d even though she acknowledged she disagrees with parts of his conduct.<\/p>\n<p>Concha argued this reflects a \u201cblue no matter who\u201d approach-contending that Democrats condemn controversial figures in some cases but overlook them when they support party goals. He pointed to Hostin\u2019s accusations about Platner (calling him a \u201ccheater,\u201d \u201cliar,\u201d and \u201cracist and antisemite,\u201d among other claims) and added that Sanders has endorsed Platner.Concha also contrasted Hostin\u2019s past rhetoric targeting President Donald Trump as a Nazi\/fascist with what he described as Hostin\u2019s willingness to support a candidate associated with a Nazi tattoo. He further echoed claims about Platner\u2019s alleged past conduct, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/who-is-laura-loomer-republicans-fear-activists-influence-growing-on-trump-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Who is Laura Loomer?
