Platner’s campaign has been plagued by his derogatory comments about women.
For Maine Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner, the seedier he gets the better he bests his GOP opponent.
Of late he talked about masturbating in public bathrooms and now it’s complaining about taxing prostitution.
Nonetheless the latest Pan Atlantic poll shows him beating five-term U.S. Sen. Susan Collins by seven points.
The most recent report came Wednesday quoting Platner once lamenting the closing of a loophole that allowed military contractors to save money on taxes by spending their time off “banging hookers in Thailand” instead of getting “b*tched” at by their wives back in the United States.
“Spend your leave banging hookers in Thailand instead of getting b*tched at by the wife back home, and you could sell it as avoiding federal income tax,” Platner wrote on Reddit in June 2019, according to the Daily Wire.
“Once the Afghans started using our paychecks as a personal piggy bank, that whole loophole disappeared,” Platner said, as quoted by the Daily Wire’s Leif Le Mahieu.
Platner made the comments under the name “P-Hustle,” a handle he admitted to using after an archive of his Reddit posts was discovered.
“Hell, with those DoD static contracts, those poor bastards literally are just making 65 a year,” Platner posted under the user name “P-Hustle” on a thread.
“Sadly, the Afghan tax f***ed everybody on the 330 game.”
The reference is IRS regulations allowing a significant portion of income to be exempt if a person spends at least 330 days in a foreign country during a 12-month period.
The loophole allows American military contractors to avoid paying higher federal income taxes if they spend significant time overseas.
If you are a democrat what is not to like about this guy?Grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, rural Mainers are racist, blacks do not tip, loves porta pottis, lobstermen are druggies, women dress to get raped ( which seems to be a big hit with Maine women) and he is an anti semite, loves war etc
Watching Platner’s campaign has become similar to watching a train wreck.
This guy has about as much class as Gropey Baker
Keep telling people about his Nazi tottenkomp tattoo.
He only covered it up because he was called out on it when he decided to run. He’s known what it meant since the day his fat leftist finger pointed to it on the parlor wall.
It’s simple to understand .
Platner is a lowlife !
Maine has plenty of voters too stupid to see or understand what is a low life .
If the voters elect this clown they will get exactly what they deserve .
Yet, another resume enhancer for Democrats. Despite all the Leftie losers in this state, there is NO f’ing way the Pan Atlantic poll is accurate.
Liberals will vote for this guy because liberals do not care about facts, reason, rationality or truth. They just hate trump and republicans. They are an irrational, angry mob of idiots.
But damn, this phony piece of crap with a rich daddy and a handful of oysters needs to lose.
The media should ask his wife what she thinks of his prostitution idea.
This is the party that sold us Joe Biden as a level headed moderate and tried to sell us Kamala Harris. I guess they’ll just keep trying to gas light us with this guy.
Real people with jobs or retirees (trustifarians excluded) who vote for Democrats will not vote for this dude. Young adults who do shrooms and acid, fellow Trustifarians, hippy freaks who still think Nixon is President and the facial tatto and piercing masterminds will.
Look at his DD214 (s) his official record of service is FAR different from his statements. Don’t believe the USMC is off on the records.
