Maine Democratic Senate candidate is making a provocative claim: that President Trump went to war with Iran not to stop nuclear weapons, but to bury the Epstein files.
Graham Platner, who is challenging Republican Sen. Susan Collins, told a crowd Sunday night that Mr. Trump and his wealthy allies what he calls the Epstein class are sacrificing American lives to protect their political interests.
This war is also being pushed because Donald Trump is in the Epstein files, Mr. Platner said after reports of the first U.S. casualties. They are willing to sacrifice the lives of young American men and women and the lives of Iranian civilians simply to protect their political interests. I cannot think of a more reprehensible act.

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) comments on Janet Mills dropping out of the US Senate race in Maine:
Democrats really, really like Platner in Maine, but the Republicans fucking love him. If Maine wants an asshole with a Nazi tattoo on his chest, they get him.

The Republicans are better at this game. The difference is Republicans parrot lies while many Democrats are afraid to speak truth. Right now all Democrats need to be united.

There must be something WORSE deep in those files. And so as not to be prissily vague, yes, I do mean murder.
