He's toast

NY Post: "Graham Platner’s ex Jenny Racicot accuses him of rape, says Maine Senate hopeful was ‘very drunk and wouldn’t take no for an answer’."

Stephen Green: "Is Platner out?"  The Maine Democrat Party is calling for his withdrawal.

Politico: "Exclusive: Woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her"

Here's one damning part about the New York Times:

Racicot said she later felt compelled to go public about her experience because the reaction to the Times story was dominated by controversy about another woman, Lyndsey Fifield, who alleged Platner mistreated her and faced attacks because of her ties to the Republican Party. (Contacted by POLITICO, Fifield stood by the allegations she made to the Times and declined to comment further.)

“My part of the story was just a read-over,” Racicot said in an interview. “And the story was Lyndsey, and the accusations of her being politically motivated.”

So Racicot, who appears to be a Democrat ("agrees with Platner politically") came forward because she felt the New York Times sought to discredit another accuser as politically-biased.  For the Times, it was a "catch and kill" story.

By the way, I guarantee this story was released by a Democrat to get Platner out before the July 13th deadline to replace him.  Republicans had been rumored to have a data dump ready to go the day after Platner couldn't withdraw from the race.
