'That is curtains': Major left-wing influencer pulls plug on Platner over allegations
The new sexual assault allegation against Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner has prompted a response from a key player in the left-wing media ecosystem: streaming giant Hasan Piker.According to Politico's Will Steakin, Piker reacted to the allegations live onstream, and made clear he considered it the end of Platner's ambitions for office.That is curtains, said Piker. That is the trifecta. Okay, that is the trifecta of a reliable allegation. It’s holy (expletive) ... I believe this, this accusation. I believe this allegation.According to Politico, Platner, a veteran and oyster farmer who is challenging Republican Sen. Susan Collins as an outsider, entered [the] rural Maine home of two-year acquaintance Jenny Racicot uninvited one night in late 2021, deeply intoxicated, and forced himself on her while she repeatedly told him to stop. Racicot said she cut all contact with him after the incident.Platner has denied all allegations against him, but in a video statement uploaded to X on Monday afternoon, he appeared to open the door to ending his campaign and allowing Democratic officials in Maine to select a replacement nominee. No official decision on this has been made publicly.
