Scarcely had voters in Maine digested the full extent of Graham Platner's many and varied Reddit posts, and the question of whether or not he was aware of the Nazi origins of his skull and cross bones tattoo, when an entirely new controversy erupted. A former campaign director leaked to the papers that Platner's wife, Amy Gertner, had confided in her last year that in the early days of their marriage Graham had been sexting multiple women.


The news provided a whole new avenue of attack for the Republicans who had already been busy Swiftboating him over Memorial Day--and lambasting him over his own insults of military veterans. But this attack came from within his own party--actually within his own campaign!

Is this latest controversy a flash in the pan? Is this revelation just personal business--between Amy and Graham? And not for public consumption? Or is it proof positive that Platner is, as many Democrats have worried , a wild card, untested, unknown, and possibly badly vetted?


And yet....the crowds keep coming. The town halls are still overflowing. What will voters do with a candidate that seems to be saying what they want to hear, and saying it inspirationally, while at the same time suffering from repeated revelations from his past that cast doubt on his character?

Platner immediately doubled down, continuing his brazening-it-out strategy.


The Two Broke Woke Blokes chew over all of these events ask what they mean for the campaign, and try to clear the decks for discussions of larger themes of the campaign should the angsty news cycle ever calm down.
