Maine Democrat Graham Platner, the left’s favorite neo Nazi with a flair for self destruction, has once again handed Republicans fresh ammunition.

Speaking to a group of voters this week, Platner decided that the best use of his campaign platform was to celebrate his personal connection to Planned Parenthood.

Yes, really. The man proudly announced that he once went to the abortion giant to get checked for sexually transmitted diseases.

Platner launched into his story stammering through the words as he realized mid sentence just how ridiculous he sounded.

Here's What They're Not Telling You About Your Retirement

“I myself at a younger age received uh pre,” he began before stopping to find the right wording.

Then, he landed the punchline. “What’s the word? Uh, I got STI checks at the Portland Planned Parenthood. And it’s not an embarrassing thing. It’s a smart thing to do, especially when you’re younger.”

The statement had the awkward charm of a high school guidance talk gone bad, except this came from a man trying to win a U.S. Senate seat.

Platner’s gaffe drew eye rolls from more than a few Maine voters, who have grown weary of his desperate attempts to appeal to every liberal interest group in existence.

He could have focused on jobs, energy independence, or border security. Instead, he went out of his way to praise the nation’s most controversial abortion provider.

It was pandering at a level that made some Democrats blush.

The Democrat nominee, whose neo Nazi tattoo scandal already left deep political scars, seemed determined to dig himself in deeper.

Not content to stop there, Platner added that many of his “female friends” and even his wife had also relied on Planned Parenthood for help.

“I will also say that many of my female friends and my wife throughout their lives have received some form of that same kind of support from Planned Parenthood,” he said.

Then came the real kicker: “I have friends who, even today, get primary care through Planned Parenthood.”

WATCH:

That line alone tells you everything you need to know about the target audience for Platner’s campaign.

The man expects voters to believe that his professional, largely urban Democrat circle uses the abortion mill as a family doctor.

To many, the claim sounded more like an awkward attempt to score feminist credibility than any reflection of reality.

Platner’s latest press event follows a steady stream of embarrassing reports about his past behavior and rhetoric.

The “Nazi tattoo” story refuses to die, and his unfiltered personality keeps providing endless material for headlines.

Of course, the friendly corporate media have been doing overtime damage control, staging early releases of scandals in the hopes that voters will have forgotten them by November.

Meanwhile, Maine’s Republican Senator Susan Collins remains the serious adult in the race.

The state’s moderate voters may not always agree with her, but they know exactly who she is and that she can survive the dirtiest of Democrat attacks.

In 2020, Collins was written off by every single political pundit.

Not one poll showed her leading going into Election Day.

She was down by five points in the final average yet ended up winning by nine.

The current average shows Platner ahead by just under five points, but given Collins’ track record, Democrats have every reason to sweat.

The race has already tightened as new details about Platner’s sleazy history continue to leak out.

According to insiders, the Republican Party has more opposition research waiting for release, and sources suggest the worst is still to come.

All of this explains the sudden rush by liberal media outlets to handle Platner’s scandals early, hoping to nullify the damage before fall campaigning begins.

They understand that after July 13, Platner cannot legally be replaced on the ballot.

Once that date passes, Democrats will be stuck with him and his tattoos until Election Day.

For conservatives, watching the meltdown has been something of a spectacle.

A man embracing Planned Parenthood as part of his political identity could only happen in the modern Democrat Party, which now treats abortion as both religious doctrine and campaign strategy.

Platner’s attempt to normalize his connection to the group is almost comical when you consider the millions of Mainers who view Planned Parenthood as an affront to human life.

Though much of the establishment media continues to treat Platner with kid gloves, ordinary voters are paying attention.

WATCH:

Comments mocking his “man of the women” act have flooded social media feeds in Maine and beyond.

Even some left leaning commentators are admitting privately that Platner’s antics might sink his campaign.

Susan Collins has been careful not to engage in personal mudslinging, leaving that job to the facts and Platner’s own mouth.

Her campaign has stayed focused on her record of service, her ability to deliver for Maine, and her proven independence.

That contrast is powerful.

Voters will soon have to decide between a steady hand and a political circus.

If Platner keeps talking like this, the decision will not be difficult.

Collins has weathered tougher storms than this one, and as every Republican strategist knows, she starts slow but finishes strong.

The left can paper over Platner’s scandals for only so long before reality catches up.

Maine voters have a history of cutting through the noise to find the truth, and this November, truth may cost Graham Platner the race of his life.
