44. Two possible reactions to the latest Platner news.

Fri Jun 5, 2026, 12:01 PM

Yesterday

1 - The right wing operative happened to be telling the truth. So physical interactions between couples can happen in anger as well as affection without crossing over into abuse. If what she described was "abuse" we're in big trouble.

2 - The right wing operative was lying, or grossly exaggerating, so the when Platner denies "physical things" he's telling the truth. (I don't remember his exact denial on Chris Hayes last night, but that's close.)

In either case there's no way I wouldn't fight like hell to get Platner elected to the senate if I lived in Maine.
