How Democrats could replace Platner on the Maine Senate ticket after he wins the primary

Platner found himself again embroiled in controversy Saturday after his campaign confirmed that his wife told an aide last summer she was aware of sexual texts her husband had sent to 'several women'.

The report raises questions about Platner’s future in the race as Democrats seek to regain control of Congress in November’s midterm elections. Platner originally came under fire last October after vulgar social media comments surfaced, and it was reported that he had a tattoo of a Nazi symbol.

Platner has been endorsed by Senators Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), though Democratic Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) said Monday he finds Platner’s 'Nazi tattoo and his commentary about it personally disqualifying.'

When Democrats refuse to promote law and order, they allow criminals to call the shots. When people see that the perverted justice system is working against them, they decide to take matters, and samurai swords, into their own hands.
