Screencap of Twitter/X video.About a month ago, lots of people were saying that more dirt was coming on Graham Platner, the Democratic Socialist (communist) running for a U.S. Senate seat in Maine. Since then, it’s like the dirt has never stopped flowing. Every single week there is some horrible new revelation about this guy.In this case, old Reddit comments from Platner show that he referred to law enforcement officers as ‘opportunistic cowards.’ He said this during the 2020 Black Lives Matter/Antifa riots.Platner may be a veteran but he is not a man of character. People should feel embarrassed to show support for his candidacy.The dirtbag chronicles: "Dem Senate hopeful under fire for resurfaced comments calling cops 'opportunistic cowards'""Embattled Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing backlash for calling law enforcement "opportunistic cowards" in a since-deleted Reddit post."… pic.twitter.com/0kRA9khmWR— Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) June 18, 2026 From FOX News:Dem Senate hopeful under fire for resurfaced comments calling cops ‘opportunistic cowards’Embattled Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing backlash for calling law enforcement “opportunistic cowards” in a since-deleted Reddit post. Platner, a far-left populist vying to become Maine’s next senator, made the comments in June 2020 in response to a post criticizing the Hancock County Sheriff’s Department for seeking approval to purchase “riot gear.” At the time, Black Lives Matter protests were spreading around the state, with some demonstrations turning violent, including vandalized storefronts and looting.Platner, then 35, dismissed the sheriff’s request as “ridiculous.”“I guess the Sheriffs [sic] Department is so full of overweight pansies that they now need taxpayer dollars to protect themselves from George Stevens Academy sophomores and aging hippies,” he wrote.“Cops are opportunistic cowards.” The post, which is available in The Maine Monitor’s archive of Platner’s since-deleted messages but has not been previously reported, was published under Platner’s handle, “P-Hustle,” on the Reddit forum R/Maine.Platner is a disaster area of a candidate.His Nazi tattoo should have been a red flag, and a disqualifying one, but the Democrats are so desperate to retake control of the senate that they keep on defending him, no matter what.They have no principles, they just crave power.The post ANOTHER STRIKE AGAINST PLATNER: Called Law Enforcement Officers ‘Opportunistic Cowards’ in Newly Resurfaced Comments appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
