Susan Collins GOP Primary Has Been Called

Old Reddit posts under the username “P-Hustle,” many now deleted, have also resurfaced.

In them, Platner allegedly downplayed sexual assault, suggesting victims “take some responsibility” by avoiding alcohol and “act like an adult.”

He reportedly called Maine voters he hopes to represent “racist” and “stupid,” used slurs, criticized police, and made other crude remarks.

Platner has blamed the posts on his post-service struggles with depression and self-medication.
