MS NOW EXCLUSIVE: Graham Platner responds to BOMBSHELL NYT report

‘Outed’ means something true that he didn’t want to be public was made public. He also wants his marriage to have privacy. Yet he’s running for a public office in a highly competitive race of national importance to both parties. Does he not know and accept that he will most likely have even LESS privacy as the race goes national? OF COURSE the Republicans will “drag up” EVERYTHING from his past!!! If he doesn’t want that, or if he has anything to hide, or if he can’t control his temper when things he doesn’t want comes out, then perhaps he should reconsider running. He is less likely to win the race when the Republicans start running his past against him because there’s a high likelihood EVERYTHING embarrassing will be made public, and he could still lose. If he decides to run, then he certainly shouldn’t complain or blame others about this expected political process. And he certainly shouldn’t blame Democrats for it. He should be MORE open and MORE accepting of his past and APOLOGIZE whenever appropriate and NOT act defensive- his angry and whining defensiveness and externalized blaming makes him look like Trump. The last thing Democrats want to elect is someone who has the emotional profile of Trump. Leave the race now with grace and goodwill. Let the Democrats put forward someone who also has the same policy positions but a cleaner personal past.
