Summary
Hour 3 - Nick Reed & Sarah Myers are live at Scrambler's Diner: Graham Platner's repeated insistence that Susan Collins "voted to send me to Iraq," a campaign line he's been using since at least mid-May... Is a lie. Susan Collins voted for the Iraq war resolution in 2002. Platner didn't enlist until late 2003, several months after the war started. She landed a solid on him, pointing out that not only did he enlist twice after the war started, but that he "also went to work for a controversial security company" sometime after his service was over. Further, she made the point that Platner was "not drafted" to serve. The White House launched a new website: aliens.gov Dems want to punish people who were victimized by the Biden administration's weaponization of government. Yesterday, several Democrats signaled their intention to confiscate 100% of any payment from the Trump Anti-Weaponization Fund, calling it a tax.
