Graham Platner officially withdrew from the Maine Senate race today. This is his letter to Maine’s Secretary of State:
I only want to call attention to the manner in which Platner concluded his letter, presumably expressing his priorities:
F*ck ICE. Free Palestine. Up the Hearts.
“Up the Hearts” is a soccer reference, which I guess fits–so much for Platner’s blue collar bona fides. But “F*ck ICE” and “Free Palestine” are core Democratic Party ideology. Platner’s low-rent anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism represent the beating heart of the Democratic Party. Most Democrats will see Platner not as an embarrassment, but as a heroic casualty of their war against America.
