As a mom, I was disgusted to read the latest Reddit comments from Graham Platner.
A few years ago, Platner reportedly described his uncontrollable urge to masturbate whenever he entered a public porta potty because he was “conditioned” during his time in the U.S. military. This is weird and deranged.
Almost immediately, I thought of the porta potties at the softball field where my three children play. When I encounter porta potties, I avoid them at all costs and get out of them as soon as possible. Graham Platner, on the other hand, spoke of feeling sexually aroused in public.
After reading his comments, that man will never be allowed near my children.
This is a man running to be a U.S. senator. He severely lacks the composure, self-respect and honorable lifestyle necessary to be a serious candidate.
Elected officials should be dignified and trustworthy. That is not Graham Platner.
