A New York Times report says multiple women who dated Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner of maine described him as volatile,emotionally harmful,and physically aggressive at times. One former partner said he grabbed her hard enough to leave marks and, after an argument, forcibly pulled her out of a cab and detained her in a bedroom until she calmed down. Others described a pattern of heavy drinking, demeaning behavior toward women, reckless or unsettling conduct, and repeated unfaithfulness.<\/p>\n

The report also includes allegations that Platner\u2019s controversial \u201cTotenkopf\u201d death\u2019s-head tattoo relates to the Nazi SS insignia, despite his campaign disputing the claims. One woman said Platner acknowledged the tattoo\u2019s Nazi connection in conversation, and later, in a private online chat, she reiterated that it was an actual Totenkopf.<\/p>\n

Platner and his campaign strongly dispute the accusations of intimidation or injury.The page also contains unrelated site scripts<\/a> for ads and a \u201csubmit correction\u201d form. <\/p>\n
