Does This Dem Rep Know That Graham Platner Already Crossed His 'Red Line' Regarding His Support?

Rep. Ro Khanna is fully behind Maine Nazi oyster farmer Graham Platner, the Democrat expected to face Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) this fall. It has become a test for Democrats who want to show they can win with quality candidates and reject the baggage linked to the GOP’s support for Donald Trump. The irony is that their effort to be anti-Trump in all areas of politics, including elections, leads them to support a man with SS tattoos.

Khanna was pressed about his support for Platner, who recently faced a sexting scandal and was accused of emotional abuse. Khanna said his red line with Platner is evidence of violence. Sir, that was in the New York Times article. Does Khanna know that, technically, it has already been crossed? However, this Face the Nation interview was quite vague on the ‘believe all women’ stance, given that fact. Some even noted that the stories outlined in the Times piece constituted domestic violence.

Ro Khanna defends Graham Platner against abuse allegations from ex-girlfriends:

“There was no harm, no injury. There was toxicity, and there was, uh, verbal intimidation…but Graham has made it clear that there was no evidence of violence. To me, is a red line.” pic.twitter.com/aLW0LF8kka

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) said he believes the account of Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner's former girlfriend, Lyndsey Fifield, and urged Platner's campaign to stop attacking her and the journalists who reported on the allegations.
