Senator Elizabeth Warren is getting slammed for saying Graham Platner (who has been accused of aggravated rpe) was the ‘fire’ democrats need, and ‘Platner is ‘my kind of man’
while voting against Pete Hegseth’s confirmation over allegedly being a threat to woman and drinking.
Warren said about Hegseth,
“Its dangerous to national security when we have someone who has repeatedly been drunk, I care about the national security of the United States because I care about my children and my grandchildren”
But she’s an advocate for Platner. In addition to the many scandals surrounding Platner, including telling a teenager she didn’t try hard enough when she tried to kll herself, accusations of manhandling women, drinking, cheating, threatening to rpe intruders, etc He has now being accused of breaking into a woman’s house and forcibly rping her. Hegseth was confirmed by the Senate in a 51-50 vote, with Vice President J.D. Vance casting the tie-breaking vote in favor. Warren and nearly all Democrats voted no. Warren wrote letter to the Armed Services Committee, listing out concerns including “reports of Hegseth’s drinking,” accusations of sxual assault and harassment, and questions about his fitness for decisions involving national security. After the vote, she said that Hegseth’s confirmation “will make our nation less safe” and called him “an unqualified nominee with a long history of alleged substance abuse, sxual harassment, and assault.” This is the opposite stance to her support for Platner, On July 6 A woman named Jenny Racicot, who had an on-and-off dating relationship with Platner made serious allegations against him. She alleges that In late 2021 he broke into her home while deeply intoxicated and allegedly rped her. She said she had shared the details of the attack with her therapist at the time. Platner released a video statement the same day denying the claim as “categorically false” and announcing that he and his campaign were “taking the time to reflect on the best path forward.” The allegation immediately triggered fallout. Prominent Democrats, including Senate leaders withdrew support and urged Platner to drop out . Warren changed her mind and is now saying there can be “no tolerance for sxual assault” and that “the best path forward is for Graham Platner to step aside as the Democratic nominee and address these serious allegations outside this Senate race.” #ChristinaAguayoNews
