The apparent Maine primary U.S. Senate Democrat nominee is blaming a former Navy SEAL for an allegedly fake memoir.
Graham Platner is accusing Marcus Luttrell of “lying” in his popular war memoir about his combat experience in Afghanistan.
Platner claims Luttrell used a ghostwriter who supposedly ripped off another SEAL’s book to create a work of fiction.
The Platner attack is what the Washington Free Beacon calls “the latest example of the far-left Senate hopeful smearing his fellow combat veterans, and of his particular antipathy to Special Forces.”
Platner, who served in the Marine Corps and the Army, has a habit of smearing his fellow soldiers.
In a social-media post 13 years ago, he mocked Army private Teddy Daniels, who was seen on video being shot by Taliban fighters, calling Daniels a “dumb motherf***er who didn’t deserve to live.”
Daniels, who survived, responded late last month, calling the self-styled oysterman “a typical elitist.”
Platner also has claimed the late Chris Kyle, the Navy SEAL author of “American Sniper “ murdered innocent civilians during the Iraq war in order to inflate his kill numbers.
Platner in a series of 2013 now-deleted Reddit posts accused Luttrell of promoting “war porn” in his 2007 book.
Luttrell’s memoir was his account of a mission to take out a Taliban militia leader.
While some historians have questioned whether Luttrell embellished the SEALs’ harrowing mission, there is little debate about the courage of the SEAL team, according to Beacon writer Chuck Ross.
Platner himself has pushed an inaccurate narrative on the campaign trail about his own military experience, Ross noted.
He accused five-term GOP U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, who is seeking a sixth term, of voting to send him and his comrades “off to die” in the Iraq War.
His was a reference to Collins’ 2002 vote to authorize the war.
But Platner voluntarily joined the Marines in 2004 – and later worked for a military contractor.
He has written on Reddit that he did so because he “wanted to have an adventure and kill some people.”
Mein Oyster Fuhrer has a moist spot for the S.E.A.L.’s. Probably fantasizing they’ll break into his home so he can “dominate” them.
Amazing to see the mouth breathing dems, mostly elderly goblins, who list off all of his grotesque shortcomings, and then say, “But, I think he’d make a great senator.”
The democrat party is completely beyond redemption .
News flash!
Nation shocked as man with a Nazi tattoo turns out to be a total scumbag
the preppy rich boy shanks himself again. Democrats that vote for him are evil or stupid… nothing else.
Mr P…..Mein Oyster Fuhrer.
Hahahaha!
That’s a good one. Love it. I hope you don’t mind if I borrow that one
“HE’S OUR GUY”
Maine d
emocrat/communistsHe may have served but with his attitude and mouth he deserves no respect nor votes. Voters are morons to vote for this fake.
Well, Mein Oyster Fuhrer’s rich parents bought him a house, an “education” at one of the best boarding schools, Hotchkiss at $79,000.00 a year, and his mother is listed as the only buyer of his oyster industry for her upscale eatery where a cheese burger costs $22.00.
Planter was the one in the unit no one liked. There is always at least 1.
This idiot “Platner” is a total disgrace and complete POS. He couldn’t carry either Marcus Luttrell or Chris Kyles jock strap. Dems of the State of Maine, if you are actually supporting this POS shame on you? If this POS does lawfully get elected he will be a train wreck for Maine in Washington!
The statements he has made about Teddy Daniels alone show that this POS is a self serving idiot!! It was a cruel statement to make about what happened to Teddy.
I would pay good money to see Marcus Luttrell put this Poser in his place. But, Marcus wouldn’t waist his time or energy on this Poser. Marcus is a real man and does not get excited every time he sees a Porta Potty! Really Democrats, this is the type of candidate you support and honor?
And how dare this Poser rebuke the record of a national hero (Kyle) that was brutally murdered for attempting to help a struggling fellow brother? Chris Kyle had a job to do and he did his job extremely well. Chris dealt with his own demons for what he had to do to keep his fellow Marines alive. Chris had more loyalty and sevice to his fellow soldiers in his trigger finger than this POS has in his entire body. Chis Kyle saved more fellow Marines lives than the enemy lives he took. May God Rest Chris Kyle’s Sole! I would hope that Chis Kyle’s wife would sue this POS for these slanderous comments of a man that cannot defend himself. A Bully and Coward picks on someone that cannot defend themselves. If Chris Kyle were still on this earth, Poser Platner would be much more careful running his Pie Hole. Chris was not they type that would take this verbal slander sitting down.
I have no skin in this game, I left Maine a few years ago when General Mills was placed in office. I cannot honesly say she was ever lawfully elected. I was a regulated democrat for most of my voting life. I changed parties to republican when Obama came into the picture. I do not recognize my home state that I grew up in. The once “Great State of Maine” has turned into “ The Maine Left Wing Liberal Disaster”!
Vote Susan Collins (again, Least of 2 Evils)
Vote Bobby Charles (your savior)
Republicans get out and vote, do not surrender!
It is beyond sad that Maine has become so overpopulated with the woke sheep who buy into his theater production of Oyster Boy goes to Washington. I know this is obvious but if a Republican candidate for dog catcher has just one of the fatal flaws old Gramsickle has they would have been publicly canceled if not deported. Is the grifted rhetoric delivered by the likes of Platner all it takes to energize the libtards into believing that this cartoon character can deliver anything other than Bolshevik revolutionary speeches once he gets to the big leagues and finds out burning down the house and interning billionaires is nothing more than an anarchist wet dream. And for all those senior citizens (like me) who have become true believers while out protesting any of the far left of center flavor of the day let me suggest this. Just because you made no mark during your time on earth thus far and are now in the glide to the dirt nap, don’t believe your manufactured legacy of supporting every radical leftist issue at the 11th hour is even going to be noticed.
If his mother‘s restaurant actually charges $23 for a cheeseburger, in Maine, one has to start wondering about the restaurants, finances and financing. I’m not saying if there’s anything there, I’m just saying that it raises questions that someone in Law enforcement might want to look into.
Hey everything he does he can blame on PTSD. He feels like most of the democrats, he has an excuse! This guy is whacked.
