| Transphobic Comments | “Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone…I have two little girls, I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I’m supposed to be afraid to say that,” – NY Times. Nov 7, 2024 “I mean, here we are accusing Republicans of being weird and we’re the ones who are suddenly requiring people to put pronouns in their email signatures. I mean, that’s kind of weird, to be honest. You know, we went through the whole gay rights movement. We went through the whole Civil Rights Movement. We never had to say, you know, ‘Seth Moulton: Straight’ or ‘Seth Moulton: White.’ And all of a sudden, we have to change all our values to meet the needs or demands of one very small minority group. ” – WGHB Org. Nov 8, 2024 “I was just speaking authentically as a dad about one of many issues where I think we’re just out of touch with the majority of voters, and I stand by my position. The backlash I’ve received proves my point that we can’t even have these discussions as a party.” – MSNBC Appearance. Nov 11, 2024 |
| Palestine | Refused to call for a cease fire despite an estimated 25k+ Palestinians killed by IDF. – WGBH. Feb 7, 2024 Criticized by Human Rights Groups like Jewish Voice for Peace for inaction on the Genocide. – JVP Boston FB Nov 13, 2023 |
| Immmigration | Along with Lynch, was the only Massachusetts politician to vote for the controversial Laken Riley Act. According to National Immigration Law Center, “This bill is particularly extreme because it applies mandatory immigration detention solely on the basis of an arrest or charge, risking the prolonged detention of people innocent of the charges brought against them. These provisions also exacerbate racial disparities because Black and Brown people are arrested at disproportionately high rates throughout the United States.” |

| Problematic Past: | “In one thread from 2019, Platner weighed in on a conversation about the “Totenkopf” — the skull-and-crossbones emblem worn by Nazi SS units that his own tattoo would later draw scrutiny for resembling — to note that many US service members had adopted similar imagery, such as the Punisher skull used by some Navy SEALs. …the former Marine infantryman and future Democratic Senate hopeful also argued in a 2020 online discussion that “SS” lightning-bolt tattoos were a “culture” marker within Marine Scout Sniper units, not an expression of White supremacist ideology. When commenters in the 2020 thread described the lightning bolts as a Nazi or racist symbol, Platner dismissed the criticism, writing that outsiders “have no idea what they’re talking about” and added, “I will be sure to inform the Black guys I know with bolts that they’re Nazis now.” …CNN also spoke with an acquaintance of Platner from more than a decade ago who said Platner spoke about his tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol. A second person told CNN that they learned of the tattoo years ago from the acquaintance, who told them that Platner had described it as a Nazi-style design. CNN also reviewed a text chain between the acquaintance and another person discussing Platner’s Nazi-like tattoo several months ago, before the story became public.” – CNN Oct 24 2025 “Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner revealed Tuesday that he was tattooed years ago with an image widely recognized as a Nazi symbol, but he dismissed the connotation and chalked it up to a drunken Marine’s attempt at fearsomeness.” – AP News Oct 21 2025 Additional info on Racist Symbols at the United Holocaust Memorial Museum and Southern Poverty Law Center. “Why don’t black people tip? I work as a bartender and it always amazes me how solid this stereotype is,” he wrote on Reddit. – Maine Monitor Oct 17 2025 “That same year, he also responded to a post about underwear designed to prevent [SA] saying people should “take some responsibility for themselves and not get so f—-ked up they wind up having s-x with someone they don’t mean to?” – Bangor Daily News Oct 17 2025 Platner’s former political director, Genvieve McDonald, wrote in a social media post, “Graham has an anti-Semitic tattoo on his chest. He’s not an idiot, he’s a military history buff. Maybe he didn’t know when he got it, but he got it years ago and he should have covered it up because he knows damn well what it means….The vault is open for the GOP to crush any dreams we had in the General” – Screencapped on X Passes blame onto ‘DC Establishment’ for knowledge of his tattoo going public… “Yeah—it’s coming from Washington, DC. I am not the chosen candidate of the DC establishment. [That] was made abundantly clear to us when we were looking to announce this thing. And it’s been made abundantly clear to me that in the leadership of the Democratic Party and the people that choose candidates and campaigns, I am not the kind of person they want.” – Vanity Fair Oct 22, 2025 “Pull into Bahrain in ’07 on a MEU, a Royal Navy submarine happens to be in port at the same time. … Before we even realize what’s going on, the other weird bastard just leans down and licks the damn thing from the bottom of the ballsack all the way up to the top of the dick. Stands up, looks dead at us and yells ‘BEAT THAT!’ … I proudly withdrew our team on the grounds that one cannot play gay chicken if one is actually gay.” – Advocate Oct 22, 2025 In July 2018, Platner joked in another thread, “I suppose some gay fellas still prefer holes as well. Party on top bros.” – Advocate Oct 22, 2025 A month later, in August 2018, he used a homophobic slur while arguing with another user: “Betcha not a single downvoter is a real combat vet. Feel free to back it up with facts, fags.” – Advocate Oct 22, 2025 In December 2019, Platner mocked military officers, writing, “Officers are gay. Army or navy, I really don’t give a fuck about your frat.” – Advocate Oct 22, 2025 “This was the gayest (not in the fun dick sucking way) thing I’ve ever seen. This dude is literally everything I hate all rolled into one.” – Advocate Oct 22, 2025 |
