Graham Platner

As we’ve often said: what the Elitist Media cover on their newscasts and Sunday political affairs shows is almost as important as what they DON’T cover. This was the case with the Democrat Senate candidate from Maine: Graham Platner, where there was no mention of him at all. But the latest sexting allegations have forced a change. 

As is always the case with the Elitist Media evening news, what doesn’t make it to air at least as important, and sometimes more so, than what gets shown to viewers. A couple of recent stories further prove this to be true.

Bonchie of RedState.com asked an interesting question on X: Has a single late night comic told a single joke about Graham Platner? Our Alex Christy found nothing on ABC, CBS, or NBC. Comedy Central had a bit, but made more fun of stupid rural Mainers.

Time put Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner – the self-proclaimed communist with the Nazi tattoo – on the cover and sold him as a solution for Democrats. They summed up in tweet: “Even in this antiestablishment political moment, Graham Platner’s rise has been remarkable. His candidacy is forcing the party to come to terms with what it’s willing to risk in exchange for a fighter…

In the final minutes of Tuesday’s Katy Tur Reports, the MS NOW host discussed the Democrats’ 2024 election autopsy that had not been released as she and Democratic strategist Morris Katz minimized Maine Senate Candidate Graham Platner’s controversies, including a Nazi tattoo, and then went after LA Mayoral Candidate Spencer Pratt’s style.

Stephen L. Miller -- "Redsteeze" on X -- won our Bulldog Award for Outstanding Social Media Personality for taking on all kinds of media misbehavior on Elon's free-speech playground. We discuss bizarre rape-dog stories, the "Corbynization" of the Left, and Oliver Darcy's farcy website waging war on Bari Weiss as she barely makes changes at CBS News.

There's a ludicrous talking point being shopped by the Democrats, that somehow blacks have been denied their "voting rights" unless they're allowed to be represented by a black Democrat. If you end "majority-minority" districts, their votes no longer count. MS NOW has been a hourly cesspool of leftists crying "Jim Crow" and "Dred Scott" and "most racist Supreme Court ever" over their decision…

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner got a Nazi tattoo in Croatia in 2007 while serving in the Marines – not just a swastika tat either, but a special skull and crossbones “Totenkopf” tattoo, similar to those worn by Hitler’s SS. He had the tattoo covered with new ink in late October 2025 only after it became a controversy during his emerging Maine U.S. Senate campaign. Notably, the…

The Democrats are fighting among themselves, and it's the "establishment" versus the fringe. But the media can't find an actual extreme, so they just find "outsiders" who oppose the "centrists," defined as the Biden Democrats. This leads them to make excuses for candidates who have a Nazi tattoo, for example. 

At the end of Tuesday’s CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish led a discussion about the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s (DCCC) endorsement of moderate Democrats over progressive, far-left candidates. Democratic analyst Maria Cardona said the voters wanted fighters instead, and pushed back on Cornish’s comparison of 2026 Democratic candidates to Republican candidate…

The Elitist Media’s Sunday shows run a tight choreography, avoiding certain uncomfortable and inconvenient subjects in near unison. If it doesn’t fuel Trump derangement, it doesn’t run. The result being that many important political stories don’t get discussed because they might lead to the “wrong” kind of political discussion.

On Friday, MS NOW’s Morning Joe hosted an interview with Democratic Maine Senate Candidate Graham Platner, poised to be the Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine. The supposed anti-establishment candidate went on the largest, liberal establishment morning talk show to discuss his campaign, as the hosts glanced over his controversies, which include Platner’s …

On CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish cited CNN’s own investigation of Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner’s inflammatory posts—then let his claim that they were from “15 years ago,” when he was a “young dude,” go unchallenged. That’s not a small miss. It’s a glaring one—because CNN’s own reporting demolishes Platner’s narrative.

Comedy Central’s host of The Weekly Show podcast and card-carrying member of the Graham Platner Fan Club, Jon Stewart, welcomed the far-left Maine Senate candidate to Wednesday’s go gush over him by comparing him to Jimmy Stewart’s character in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and lament all the focus on his Nazi tattoos.
