Several women who once dated Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner (D) described him “as a fun and caring partner, and saying they felt safe with him. Some remain friends with him to this day, years after their relationships ended,” the New York Times reports.
“But in extensive conversations over the past two months, three other women who had been romantically involved with Mr. Platner offered a far more complicated assessment, describing volatile and ‘toxic’ relationships that were unsettling and at times emotionally wrenching.”
“Mr. Platner could be charming and charismatic, they recalled in interviews, but also demeaning to women and, in at least one case, even physically threatening. He drank heavily and was regularly unfaithful.”
