It says nothing about those who weren't okay with Planter's own words, like this one.. Except we're not okay with it.

In 2013, Reddit posts that resurfaced during his campaign, Platner downplayed the military's sexual assault crisis. He wrote that women worried about rape need to "not get so f---ed up they wind up having sex with someone they don't mean to" and told people to "act like an adult for f---s sake".
