Ro Khanna’s bold defense of Maine Senate candidate Platner sparks debate—calling his past behavior “misogynistic and shameful” while stressing Maine voters already knew his Iraq service history. Khanna insists Platner took accountability, and he’d never support him if there were evidence of violence or assault. He urges focus on the women who spoke out and journalists who exposed the truth. Meanwhile, one accuser, Lyndsey Fifield, clarifies Platner never physically assaulted her—but did grab and twist her arm.
