The private military contractor turned Democrat candidate is once again mentioned in recently-surfaced Reddit posts, this time revealing his comments offering praise for Hamas tactics in a 2014 raid that killed Israeli soldiers.
Under the now-deleted username “P-Hustle” used by Platner – comments once again raised eyebrows in connection to the troubled candidate’s online alias, this time in response to graphic helmet camera footage of Hamas cross-border operations against Israeli forces.
“From a strictly professional standpoint, this was a damn fine looking and successful raid against a superior opponent, I dig it” wrote Platner, as “P-Hustle” in archived Reddit comments.
He also added that the assault demonstrated a “well-executed and successful small unit raid”, defending the terror group killing Israeli troops in the operation.
Fox New political analyst Josh Kraushaar amplified the comments on X, directly quoting Platner saying the raid was “damn fine looking and successful.”
Platner’s idea of success translates in video evidence where Hamas fighters proceeded to slaughter at least five Israeli soldiers. The “P-Hustle” Reddit account has become a household name in Maine, as it persistently links the skunked oysterman to unraveling posts destroying his campaign.
Interestingly, Platner’s interest in military small-unit tactics is well documented through his socialist paramilitary association in Maine.
Aside praising Hamas online, the former-Marine with high-interest in tactical proficiency of foreign terrorist organizations and vocal opposition to allied military operations, also taught firearms courses and recruited members for the Socialist Rifle Association. The Maine-based group is categorized as a far-left militant group that has faced national scrutiny over paramilitary activity and links to armed confrontations.
The cold, eerie endorsement of Hamas tactics portrayed in leadership-style military terminology on Reddit aligns with Platner’s paramilitary profile, raising profound questions into his anti-Israel, but pro-Hamas viewpoints.
Being that Israel is the United States ally in a conflict confronting the very regime that heads the financial snake funding groups like Hamas; who’s team is Platner on?
All of these events occur against the backdrop of his chest tattoo displaying a Nazi Totenkopf, an extremist Nazi emblem, standing in stark contrast to his friendly, young-Stalin personality that blankets an undertow of radical sympathy.
The latest comment batch surfaces as Platner continues his efforts to secure a spot in the U.S. Senate for Maine against sitting Gov. Janet Mills (D-Maine), drawing prolonged bi-partisan criticism about his true beliefs, background, and fitness for duty in the United States Senate.
The guy is who he is, he has not change no matter how many times he says it. You would really, really have to hate the country to vote for a Nazi to represent this state.
I hope Platner DESTROYS Mills in the primary .
Maine voters are stupid and uneducated about the issues yes ……
But I don’t think they are stupid enuf to vote for Platner over Collins .
But then again …..I could be wrong .
They voted for Ranked Choice Voting TWICE didn’t they !
None of these stories matter to the actual people that are going to vote for him. The only people that care about negative stories about platner are people that were never going to vote for him in the first place. He will more than likely beat Mills and then go on and beat Collins. The majority of people in the population centers are far left progressives and they outnumber everyone else in the state. Not to mention the shit job the Trump admin has done since Jan 2025. It will be an easy win for him. And if it’s somehow not him, another Dem will win.
Typical Dem clown. Nazi tattoos. Guarantee he doesn’t go to church or have a code of conduct, like the Bible. Punk.
I’m surprised this vile creature is beating Mills. If I was her I would be asking myself what I have done to make myself a stench in everyone’s nostrils.
Platner looks like a Nazi, talks like a Nazi, and acts like a Nazi. He’s a Nazi.
Has anyone asked him if he thinks men can get pregnant? Just wanna know where he stands.
Is it no wonder Planter is leading That Shrew Janet Mills. He’s more of a rabid antisemite than the she is. The democrupts favorite kind of candidate.
