In reply to the discussion: So, it's looking like the whole Platner "controversy" [View all]Nanjeanne
(6,737 posts)18. Go along with what? They said he had dark moods and was struggling and when old Reddit posts
came up they sounded like something he might have said given the anger and alcohol. Not easy being in a relationship with someone struggling like that. Many vets come back after multiple deployments and have those difficulties. Something Platner speaks about. They never claimed physicality or claimed he talked about his Nazi tattoo so what would they have to go along with.
Jenny Racicot, 41, a Maine Democrat, who said she dated him casually off and on between 2019 and 2021, said the posts deepened her belief that he did not respect women. When I saw the old comments that he made online, she said, I recognized a version of him that I had experiences with.
The three described him in similar terms. Spending time with him could be exhilarating, they said. But they also recounted patterns of heavy drinking and womanizing. Asked to sum up how he treated her, the third woman said she felt like collateral damage to the world that is his.
Thats your sum total of the other two.
