It claims Democrats are reluctant to criticize him despite a growing list of allegations and negative reporting.<\/p>\n<p>It says Platner\u2019s campaign reportedly knew about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lincoln-project-disavows-co-founder-amid-reports-he-sent-sexually-explicit-messages-to-multiple-young-men\/\" title=\"Lincoln Project disavows co-founder amid reports he sent sexually explicit messages to multiple young men\">sexually explicit messages<\/a> (including sexting with women other than his wife) and that he had used a Kik profile. The piece also references other <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >earlier controversies involving<\/a> him (including remarks related to Purple Heart recipients, claims related to sex trafficking, and additional problematic online behavior). It further alleges that Platner discussed buying cocaine and described doing drugs while on military leave, quoting his statements from a Reddit account (\u201cP-Hustle\u201d) that portray drug use and travel supported by government leave.<\/p>\n<p>the article portrays this as evidence of a broader pattern of what it portrays as double standards in Democratic politics and argues that voters in Maine are unlikely to overlook thes issues.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Remember the days of \u201cTrump should have his phone taken away\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>This was the halcyon period where the media thought that if you just deplatformed Donald Trump and stopped him from tweeting, the world would solve itself.
