This guy is possibly the biggest fraud in politics.

He went to Hotchkiss for a very short time. Most of his time was at HS in Bangor.

A private high school in Bangor. Not that it matters to me either way, but let's at least be honest here.

A private school in freakin Bangor is closer to working class than many public schools in the DC region. Things are relative.

After attending an elite $70,000 prep school, which working class kids do not attend.

The Times has had enough as well. I don’t know how many working class people you know, but working class isn’t usually described as growing up with a Dartmouth educated lawyer as a father and a restaurateur mother who sent you to a $70,000 year prep school and then paid for your family’s fertility treatments in Norway.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/us/politics/platner-maine-senate-working-class.html

Mr. Platner is an oysterman, a combat veteran and a former harbor master from tiny Sullivan. He is also the son of a Dartmouth College-educated lawyer, the grandson of a famed Connecticut architect and a graduate of a private high school.

His parents have offered him privileges and connections and have helped him financially. Mr. Platner has described his mother, who owns an upscale restaurant, as his oyster farm’s biggest customer.

On large expenses, including his home, he has received assistance from his father. His father also paid for his and his wife’s travel, lodging and fertility treatments in Norway this year, according to a person with knowledge of the financial arrangement at the time.

Man the NYTimes is really on the pro Israel payroll.

What’s your counter argument to Platner posing a working class man of the people when his Daddy is a lawyer who pays for his down payments, elite private high school, and Norwegian fertility treatments though?

You’re deflecting.

The idea that Platner is a Nazi because of a tattoo that none of us even recognizes rings hollow in the context of... well, of EVERYTHING the guy has ever said and done.

And why is anyone besides his doctors or insurance officials assessing whether a former Marine deserves disability payment? Do you have no respect for those who defend our country?

Everything about this smear campaign is so shallow and false. Do you have issues with Yalie JD Vance presenting himself as a man of the people? What about silver spoon Trump himself?

The general election IS going to be fun. The more you guys spout your nonsense, the more scared you look. Bye Bye, Susan. Can't wait to see the last of you.

Again, if he deserves a 100% disability payment for PTSD he is not in any way fit to serve for office because one of qualifications is that you are so impaired that you can’t have a job, have hallucinations, etc. I don’t even vote so I could care less who wins, I’m just being real.

Based on his interviews and his penchant for pretending he’s a working class oyster farmer even though he was born into wealth and went to elite private high schools, I’d be willing to bet that if indeed is getting 100% disability checks for PTSD it is fraudulent because he does not come across as a sincere person. This is not about politics. It is about him as a person.

And before you “what about Trump” me, Trump is a POS and I would never vote for him. But this isn’t about Trump. It’s about a larping rich kid who’s defrauding voters with a working class poseur act.

This is false.

Ifa vet has a combination of multiple conditions (for example PTSD, bad knees, and a shoulder injury, they can mathematically add up to 100%. There are absolutely no income or work restrictions for a schedular rating.

Why has Platner refused to release records related to his VA disability rating?

Why has Platner stated that he doesn’t draw any income from his oyster farming but rather has his wife draw the income so as not to reduce his VA benefits?

Your math isn’t mathing.

Your lies are lying


100% Disability Rating: Veterans with a 100% disability rating are presumed to have a condition that significantly reduces earning capacity, but this rating does not inherently eliminate their right to maintain employment or earn a high income (Should Veterans Disability Compensation Be Conditional, 2020).

DC benefits can be received simultaneously with civilian labor earnings, Social Security benefits, and, in certain cases, military pensions without a dollar-for-dollar offset (Coile et al., 2020).

I’m not lying. I have worked extensively with veterans seeking VA disability ratings, and I have repeatedly posted the criteria for 100% PTSD rating in this thread, which requires UNEMPLOYABILITY.

You’re burying your head in the sand and conflating/confusing other ratings and conditions to do it. It stinks of desperation.

Platner should just release his records, especially since his party has made such an issue of fitness and criticizing the current administration for failure to do so with the president’s health records.

The Democrats are smelling of the most pathetic hypocrisy on this issue as well as the Nazi tattoo - and there is abundant evidence from Platner’s own friends and former campaign manager that he knew what his tattoo was for many years before he filed to run for office and claimed ignorance.

Why can’t he just be truthful and seek forgiveness on that basis?

For the record, I’m a lifelong unaffiliated independent and very liberal voter who donated to Platner’s campaign last September before all the lies and ugliness came to light. I’m all for most of his messages in the stump speech, but I find his deceitful character incredibly troubling and his misogyny and bigotry offensive - and those things aren’t caused by PTSD, so he hasn’t properly explained and sought forgiveness for those things either.

Platner should have had a better plan for confronting these concerns up front other than trying to lie to the electorate and then blaming it on PTSD or ‘I never knew.’ He’s more and more obviously an entitled jerk who thinks he can get away with whatever. And sadly too many Mainers are letting him.

Well said.

It would be well said if it were true. But IT IS NOT TRUE.

PP keeps insisting that his rating requires UNEMPLOYABILITY when there are categories that carry no work restrictions including 1) a combined 100% rating OR 2) the 100% Schedular Rating for PTSD which requires total occupational impairment at the time of the exam. In both cases, if you can find ways to manage symptoms there are no restrictions.

From what I have read Platner reached the 100% threshold with physical injuries (herniated discs, shoulder, knees) plus PTSD plus hearing loss.

It is entirely legitimate for him to work. We want veterans to get the support they need and return to work, remember?

Yes, but once they return to work, they shouldn't collect disability anymore. No private disability insurance keeps paying you once you can work again--the federal government shouldn't either.

Could you explain to the class why Platner has stated he doesn’t draw an income from his oyster farming but instead has his wife draw that income, so as not to impact his disability benefits?
