Maine ‘Sperm King’s’ Wife Missing From Firing Squad Amid Scare From Mama Bear

Democrat Graham Platner mistakenly thought he made points Tuesday countering Janet Millsโ€™ attack ad.

The otherwise-usually-charming U.S. Senate hopeful looked absolutely impotent, even forlorn, at his own news conference.

And where was his wife when he needed her most? Apparently among the missing…

Platner apparently thought the way to reply to a recent Graham-is-pro-rape fusillade from his primary opponent was to get a bunch of gals standing behind a lectern talking about what a great friend to women he is.

But he failed to include his wife in the lineup.

Platner looked uncharacteristically nervous, and downright scared, lurking on the sidelines as his hired female firing squad touted his alleged virtues.

State Rep. Valli Geiger of Rockland spent so much time at the mic – in love with the sound of her own voice – it looked like she were the candidate.

Platner, who has been doing well in polls pitting him against the two-term governor, should have stood up at that mic and pounded his first on the podium.

He should have told women afraid that Janet’s misogynistic portrayal of him as a sexual sadist may ring true that he’s downright offended by such juvenile mud slinging.

โ€œMy opponent is panicking because she sees the polls.โ€

Unfortunately that’s not what he said. That’s what he should have said.

Where is Platner’s wife through all this?

Why wasn’t – and isn’t – she standing by her man, banging her fist on the table saying โ€œI know this man’s heart. Graham is nothing of what Janet Mills claims.โ€

Amy Gertner was bold enough amid her IVF-treatment announcement two months ago to tell a TV camera that her husband has โ€œgreat sperm.โ€

So if Gertner has the gonads to say that, why isn’t she front and center now defending the guy who’s looking like a beached sperm whale in what might be the most critically important fight he wages during this campaign?

He needs a Tammy Wynette moment.

“Tell the world you love him, stand by your man.” – Tammy Wynette

Wake up Maine!! Geez, what else do you need to see???? They’re taxing you behind your back. While opposing everything single thing Trump does like no boys in girl’s spaces, which the Maine Democratic party is all in on when 80% of voters disagree. They work for us But, their priority is “get Trump” which just makes them look unhinged. Wake the ๐Ÿคฌ up! Keep going with Democrats because things can and will get MUCH worse. How soon we forget our borders being flooded while they lied because they think we’re stupid, and some are. They actually believe the fairytales. Even though massive amounts of proven fraud in Maine which is funded by your money. Money that could be going to your family, children, OIL! Where’s the outrage? Instead they’re angry because we’re deporting illegal criminals. And yes, they’re criminals for crossing the border illegal. End of story. Trump has done more for our safety in 1 year than the Maine Democrats have done in 8 years!

How people don’t understand Iran that the ability to build nuclear weapons were very real. Terrorists are funded by Iran, hence Obama and Biden. I consider both accomplices. Presidentd for yearse swore they were going to stop Iran. But, they were cowards in the moment. Politicians who care more about votes and appearances just lie, lie, lie. Cowards.
Remember, whether you believe it or not, he’s doing this for you, your grandchildren, and future generations. Without intervention, Iran would have their hands on nuclear weapons. Then these ridiculous illogical brainwashed protests ๐Ÿ™„ won’t matter because we’d be in the middle of a nuclear war. If this is such a suppressive and racist country, then go defend the Muslim countries you love so much. You know the ones promoting terrorism, committing genocide of their own people. If you think they’re so great, go live there! You wouldn’t survive 3 days. ๐Ÿคฃ
It’s not that hard to understand. Put your thinking caps on boys and girls.
