Fifield, 41, is the second woman to allege this week that Platner engaged in nonconsensual sexual conduct. Jenny Racicot, 41, who said she previously dated Platner, told The Post and other outlets on Monday that he sexually assaulted her in late 2021, leading a growing number of allies to drop their endorsements and call on him to withdraw from the race for a Maine seat in the U.S. Senate. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), his most influential and prominent supporter, said he spoke with Platner on Tuesday and urged him to withdraw from his campaign to unseat Susan Collins, the incumbent Republican.
Platner, 41, a Marine Corps veteran and oyster farmer, also denied Racicot’s allegation but said on Monday that he was “mindful of the political reality” that the reporting will “inflict” on his campaign and was “taking the time to reflect on the best path forward.”
Fifield initially told The Post about the alleged condom removal during a June 20 interview that was off the record. She said she decided to speak publicly about it Tuesday in part because, she said, she wanted to show that Racicot was not alone in experiencing issues with Platner involving sexual consent.
Nazi Tattoo
We’ve been over this. The tattoo is not obviously Nazi unless you’re familiar with the racist dogwhistles. Have you seen the tattoo? Its not a swastika or an iron cross, to the average person it just looks like an ordinary tattoo. You’re doing such ridiculous mental gymnastics and going in circles just so you can justify your misplaced victim-blaming resentment.
did he lie about being a mercenary?
Almost certainly! Are you just reading my comments and not processing any of the words? How many times do I need to repeat myself? Rapists lie! Why wouldn’t they? The consent of a woman means nothing to them.
He was open about his merc work, unless he managed hide that, and that he is a nazi, she has no excuse, she dated a nazi, she was ok that he was paid to kill people that look like me. she shouldn’t have been raped. but you demanding that I cry for her is some abusive racist bullshit.
Nazi lives don’t matter.
It’s like talking to a brick wall. Yeah, he probably isn’t totally honest with women about being a mercenary, it’s not exactly a popular job for getting laid. You’re making so many assumptions because it’s easier to jump through hoops to blame a rape victim who is supporting your cause than it is to reexamine your personal biases. The buzzwords you use are just classic logical fallacy bullshit, “gaslit,” “abusive,” “racist,” like I THINK THE GIY WAS EVIL. I just don’t have a hate boner for his VICTIMS because he’s a manipulative rapist!
You’re totally right, she might have known his past, his beliefs, and his profession, but probably not! The rape happened way before his political career.
You hate her because you hate that it took her word, “a white woman’s tears,” as you put it, to convince the public. She is not the public. She did not do his crimes. We cannot know if she knew the horrible things he believed and did, but I’m not giving a rapist the benefit of doubt like you’re so dedicated to doing. You are incapable of examining that cognitive dissonance. In the absence of knowing, I choose to support victims. You choose to blame them. You would rather wallow in a persecution complex and throw mud because someone disagrees with you, rather than accepting that WE WANT THE SAME THING.
All I’m trying to do is get you to realize that:
You would rather operate on a “guilty until proven innocent” framework, even when the facts don’t support your conclusions, because you’re absolutely incapable of introspection and realizing that your quarrel isn’t with her, a very brave individual who was victimized by your mutual enemy, but with the public which was willing to trust a “former” Nazi mercenary but not a rapist. Again, not her fault.
Why do you find it easier to defend the hypothetical integrity of a Nazi, mercenary, rapist than to trust a woman?
even if it’s True, it is maddening that people like you were on with a nazi merc who made a career killing people like me, but draw the line at white tears.
you are a nazi supporter.
and you’re asking me to feel bad about someone who dated a nazi, under the maybe assumption that under your fan fiction, she somehow didn’t know that the merc with a giant nazi tattoo was a nazi merc.
nazis lives don’t matter. never has, never will.
What are you talking about? I have never supported Platner. I have always opposed him. Even if he was “reformed,” which I doubt, why should we need to accept such terrible candidates? I am not a Nazi supporter, and you should stop and think about why it’s so important to paint everyone you disagree with as evil rather than reexamining your cognitive bias. Do you have short term memory loss? Why should she have automatically known it’s a Nazi tattoo. You fully ignored my last comment again, and continue to argue disingenuously. Respond to what I say, not the strawman of me that you’re shadowboxing with.
I’ve had live 12 conversations with planter appologists, if I got one mixed up I apologise.
unless it’s a one night stand or she was mentally challenged levels of stupidity, I doubt he could hide his merc and nazi status. he was very open about being a merc. that tattoo is suspicious.
I am entitled not to give a fuck about nazi lovers.
