## Resource

A Maine Senate candidate turned a Red Sox game into political theater—running a blistering ad against private equity on NESN, the network owned by the very team he criticized. The ad, costing $14K and aimed at his working-class outsider brand, was pulled mid-broadcast over “unauthorized IP” claims—though no specifics were given. The irony? NESN’s parent company is the Red Sox. Meanwhile, Platner’s campaign tried to rope in Dave Portnoy for promotion, which backfired when Portnoy highlighted a tattoo Platner once had resembling a Nazi symbol. Platner says he covered it up after learning its meaning, and even Bernie Sanders still supports him. A Marine vet and oyster farmer, he’s already beaten establishment odds in the primary—and now this ad drama is fueling national chatter, with his opponent calling it a distraction tactic.
