Graham Platner Cruelly Mocked a US Soldier Who Nearly Died Protecting Squad: ‘Stupid Motherf—Er Didn’t Deserve to Live’
The resurfaced 2019 post is among over 2,000 Reddit comments linked to Platner, who has apologized for past remarks citing mental health struggles.
- Graham Platner, a Democratic Senate candidate in Maine, faces criticism after a resurfaced Reddit post from 2019 showed him mocking an American soldier wounded by Taliban terrorists.
- Platner has a history of inflammatory remarks, previously bragging about a Nazi symbol tattoo and identifying as a communist while calling Americans 'racist' and 'stupid.'
- His online comments called the wounded soldier a 'dumb motherf*****,' a 'mouthbreather,' and a 'fat a**,' while stating the individual 'didn't deserve to live.'
- Despite these controversies, Platner remains a favorite to win the Democratic nomination next month and holds a large polling lead for the general election against Senator Susan Collins.
- Critics argue this reflects broader tolerance for anti-American rhetoric within the Democratic Party, pointing to support for controversial figures like Rep. Ilhan Omar as evidence of the pattern.
