A former US Marine posing as a good ol’ fashioned, regular ol’ working-class New England Bernie-style Democrat oyster farmer has been exposed as a Reddit-posting communist—by CNN, of all people.

This traitor actually said that his fellow rural white Americans “actually are” all racist and stupid.
Graham Platner, a Marine veteran turned oyster farmer who is now a rising Democratic Senate candidate in Maine, once called himself a “communist,” dismissed “all” police as bastards, and said rural White Americans “actually are” racist and stupid, according to deleted social media posts reviewed by CNN’s KFile.
Most of the posts were made five years ago under Platner’s then-Reddit handle P-Hustle. They were deleted ahead of his campaign launch in August. The posts in some ways underscore Platner’s reputation as an anti-establishment outsider with unapologetically left-wing views. But the labels and tone used in his writings could also prove costly in a state known for electing political moderates.

In one now-deleted Reddit comment from 2021, Platner responded to a thread about people becoming more conservative as they age by saying: “I got older and became a communist.” The comment was made on a subreddit called r/Antiwork, a far-left forum “for those who want to end work.”
He made the comments back in 2021.
In another post, he described himself as “a vegetable growing, psychedelics taking socialist these days” and explained that he still has his guns because of “the fascists” Just what Maine needs in the US Senate:
Platner reflected on his life after his military service, saying he was “a vegetable growing, psychedelics taking socialist these days. After the war, I’ve pretty much stopped believing in any of the patriotic nonsense that got me there in the first place, and am a firm believer that the best thing a person can do is help their neighbors and live a loving life.”
“Still got the guns though,” he added. “I don’t trust the fascists to act politely.”
There’s even more dirt on this guy now being reported.

This guy has been heavily backed by Bernie Sanders, and now we can see why.
