‘Sperm King’ Platner Unloads On Collins For Trying To Reproduce Her Untouchable Winning Strategy

Democrat U.S. Senate hopeful Graham Platner lobbed a new volley Wednesday at Republican Sen. Susan Collins, accusing her of being an antique.

Platner, 41, whose campaign meme has become his wife’s touting his “great sperm,” is blaming Collins, 73, for lackluster constituent service.

“The last time Susan Collins held a public town hall, computers were still running Windows 95,” the tattoo-chested Graham posted on “X.”

But judging from the first posted response oyster-farmer Platner got he may be shooting blanks.

“Why on earth would she hold a town hall?” asked a guy on “X” whose handle is “Andy the Builder. “I’ve emailed her several times and she’s always answered my questions.
You aren’t an upgrade, oyster boy.”

Despite Platner’s favorable odds from several online betting markets in his fight for the senate seat, Collins has won five senate elections, never having been defeated.

So sperm boy may be joining the ranks of Democrats who have insisted on blindly underestimating Susan Collins for three decades.

If Collins hasn’t held a town hall since Windows 95 were invented, Platner is still stuck on defending his allegedly racist tattoos, which he claims are too old to even talk about.

So he may be treading on thin ice using history as a campaign wedge.

If he really wants to talk about ancient history he ought to go after 78-year-old Janet Mills, his Democrat primary opponent.

But the polls also show him far ahead of Mills, so he may have decided not to waste time or money going after the elderly term-limited governor, preferring instead to focus on the general election against Collins.
