[quote=Anonymous]Oh, I love it.  How absolutely like Democrats to play down allegations against their own candidates, but become outraged when the allegations are against Republicans.  "iT's dIfFeReNt!!"  CLASSIC.

A New York Times journalist on Wednesday shockingly downplayed accusations leveled against Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner by his ex-girlfriends as “not like classic abuse allegations.”

Jodi Kantor, who won a Pulitzer Prize for her reporting on Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein’s sexual abuse, suggested Maine voters may have been willing to overlook the scandals plaguing Platner’s campaign in Tuesday’s primary because they “are not classic MeToo accusations” – before comparing them to President Trump’s scandals.

“They’re not about a boss and a young female employee being subjected to sexual advances. They were mostly made in the context of consensual relationships,” Kantor said in a CNN interview about the allegations against Platner reported in the Times.

“There are these, like, very sensational texts about sex. There are allegations from former girlfriends that are not — the way my colleagues reported them were not like classic abuse allegations,” she argued.

“They were mostly like being his boyfriend gave me a view into him and I did not like what I saw. His character was scary. He had this Nazi tattoo. Et cetera.”
