In reply to the discussion: So, it's looking like the whole Platner "controversy" [View all]Nanjeanne
(6,746 posts)9. Here's where Im at. Platner is flawed and engaged in bad behavior that I would not tolerate in my personal
life. Many vets come back from 3 deployments with issues. He speaks about this and I admire his struggle to get back into a system that is, at best, difficult to navigate. But nothing Ive learned would make me not support him if I were in Maine. And as far as this recent story re Lindsey Fifield - I feel someone who went into a business to support Kavanaugh and destroy Christine Blasey Ford who had accused Kavanaugh of a much more serious crime. If all women need to be believed, Fifield better start with herself.
