Summary

Jon Fetherston and Chuck Ellis react to Gov. Janet Mills' new attack ad blasting Graham Platner over 2013 Reddit posts blaming rape victims ("not get so f—ked up..." / "act like an adult"). Ad resurfaces old controversies (tattoo, etc.)—is this the end of Platner's lead? Dems must distance or own it.Discussion covers: Democrat hypocrisy on "morality" & victim-blaming. Incoming federal fraud hammer (Trump EO, Dr. Oz/JD Vance eyeing MaineCare scandals). Visible failures: Drugs, homelessness, feces in Portland—Dem policies at work. Urgent turnout: Register/vote—Republicans staying home elects Democrats. Local wins fix real issues (schools, fraud). Plug: Maine Wire Republican gubernatorial debate March 24 in Bangor—watch live! Explosive primary drama & truth mainstream ignores.
