He is survived by his wife, Taya, and their two children.Platner has suggested that Chris inflated his kill numbers by ‘shooting innocent civilians.’Taya fired back at Platner for his ‘cowardly’ comments during an interview with Fox News.Fox News host Jacqui Heinrich asked, “You know, your husband has been in the news lately, your late husband, after Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner suggested that he, in his role as a legendary American sniper, shot innocent civilians in Iraq to inflate his kill numbers. This is what Graham Platner said.”Video of Platner’s remarks was then played from a 2024 episode of the “Green Beret Chronicle Show.”Platner said at the time, “His stories about how many people he was shooting certainly tracked with the behavior we— I witnessed and people I knew witnessed down at the Gov Center, which is it’s relatively easy to get high numbers like that if you’re, if you’re a little less discriminating, your fire, than say a more professional unit would be.”Heinrich then asked, “What went through your mind when you heard this?”“Oh, I mean, to me it’s just like nothing says ‘I want attention’ more than disparaging a national hero who’s also dead,” Kyle responded.“It’s just, it’s transparent, it’s cowardly, it’s lowbrow to lie about somebody else, right. And it distracts from what you’ve probably said. And in this case, I think some things that he has said, and it’s this cheap political trick to say, you know, ‘I haven’t done a whole lot, so let me attach my name to somebody who’s beloved. And if nothing else, I’ll get out in the news.'”“And that’s working for him to get that notoriety. But to me, it shows a total inability to lead with character. So for me, he would be out of the running immediately.”Heinrich continued, “He’s also given some inconsistent statements about his own military service. He said in 2020 on Reddit that he joined the Marines because he, quote, ‘wanted to have an adventure and kill some people.’ More recently, he blamed Susan Collins for sending him to Iraq via a vote.”“You know, Memorial Day weekend is already difficult for Gold Star families. When you see commentary like this from a public figure, someone who wants to go into elected office? Does it make it harder?”Kyle responded, “Yeah, and you know what, I think my family and I, my kids and I, we’d love to get on here and say it doesn’t matter when people say things like that and we’re over it and we understand that it’s just these cheap political tricks.”“But the truth is, it does hurt. You know, my kids are 21 and 20, they’re grown adults, and I wish I could tell you that it doesn’t hurt, but it does.”“And something like this, where it’s so obvious to us that he didn’t know him, that he’s making things up, that it is the polar opposite of what Chris said and did. It’s— it cheapens it.”“I can’t imagine anyone voting for somebody like that.”“I feel like it’s so obvious, and you would hope that people do their research and things— see the things that he said online.”Watch:Watch the latest video at foxnews.comThe Gateway Pundit has reported extensively about concerns about Platner, a Marine veteran turned radical leftist. Last year it was revealed that one of his tattoos resembles the infamous Nazi SS Totenkopf skull and crossbones, and, since then, the Redditt revelations have only increased concerns about his fitness and ability to serve in office.News outlets have reported on additional posts by Platner, which show him mocking rural white people, calling himself a communist, and calling Jesus a “zombie.”His disgusting behavior also extends to members of the military, including mocking Pfc. Ted Daniels, who, while serving in Kunar Province, Afghanistan, with the 4th Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, deliberately stepped into the open to draw Taliban fire away from the rest of his squad, which consisted of seven other soldiers.Platner suggested that Daniels “didn’t deserve to live.”While Platner’s disparages Kyle and other veterans, Chris’ legacy lives on through his widow and children through The Taya and Chris Kyle Foundation (TACKF) nonprofit founded by Taya in 2014 on Veteran’s Day to honor her late husband.The foundation focuses on strengthening military, veteran, and first responder marriages and families through research-based programs.
