The bearded oyster running for U.S. Senate has been outed yet again for offensive, off-color cracks.
Washington Free Beacon reports a newly discovered Reddit post quoting Graham Platner as describing himself as so “crudely atheist” that he derided Jesus Christ as a “zombie” and the Virgin Mary as “a skank ”
In the post, Platner responded to a 2008 lawsuit that claimed a soldier was denied a promotion for not embracing “fundamentalist Christianity.”
Platner asked, “What units is this shit in?” and stated that while “I’ve spent 8 years in the infantry … I’ve been about as crudely atheist as one can be the entire time,” according to the Beacon.
Platner cited “zombie jesus jokes and Mary sucking at covering up being a skank” as examples of what he found humorous during his years in the military, the outlet reported late Thursday.
Beacon reporters Edwin Carlson and Andrew Kerr said the post is still live at last check but doesn’t display its author.
An archived version of the post reviewed by the Beacon showed it belongs to a now-deleted account associated with Platner.
The post was first highlighted by conservative commentator Greg Price.
“Platner’s campaign has been dogged by a series of offensive remarks the candidate made on Reddit, including posts blaming victims for their rapes, posts calling military officers “gay” and other Reddit users “fags,” and anti-white and anti-police posts,” the Beacon said.
“He also asked why black people ‘don’t tip.’ Additionally, he wrote that accusing him of watching CNN is worse than calling him a ‘retard.'”
Platner came under fire in October when a video surfaced showing a Nazi Totenkopf tattoo on his chest, which he got in Croatia in 2007 while serving in the Marine Corps.
He has since covered up the tattoo.
The full post from Reddit as reported Thursday:
“What units is this shit in? I’ve spent 8 years in the infantry, Marine Corps and Army, and I’ve been about as crudely atheist as one can be the entire time (zombie jesus jokes and Mary sucking at covering up being a skank, as examples). Promotion came like normal, and most of my fellow grunts had a similarly cynical attitude towards religion. Sure, there have been a few bible thumpers I’ve run into, but it was certainly never systemic. Frankly, this kid is likely just a shitty soldier who was mocked for something he cares about, which is pretty par for the course. If you suck, the grunts will find your weak point and tear you down, a fact of life in combat units.“
I can see why the democrats love this guy, hates blacks, women, Christians, rural America, successful people. Thinks abortion is healthcare, and that everything should be free. And lets not forget he is a NAZl loving guy.
If you’ve bothered to go to any Platner events you would learn that yes, 18 years ago he was a different man and said a lot of things he no longer believes to be true. The idea that in this age of Trump (“grab em by the pu$@y), Gaetz (sex trafficker), Hegseth (war should have no rules), and Vance(Trump could be the next Hitler) you are calling out Platner for past disagreeable opinions seems a bit suspect. The difference with the two sides is that Platner is the first to disavow his past remarks while DJT and co double down on theirs. Important distinction. Curious photo/artwork does this mean scantily clad women smoking and drinking generic beer supposed to be that same Virgin Mary?
This checks out. It sounds like something a Nazi like Platner would say.
