Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said Monday that he is standing by Graham Platner in the wake of media reports that the Maine Senate candidate previously exchanged sexually explicit text messages with several women while he was married.
Platner, a Democrat, posted a video over the weekend taken by his wife, Amy Gertner, who reportedly told his campaign of the text messages last year. In the video, Gertner decried coverage of the issue as “gossip” and said “being married is hard.”
Sanders, a critical early backer of Platner, told The Associated Press on Monday that he still supports the oyster farmer and combat veteran, who hopes to unseat veteran Republican Sen. Susan Collins.
They’re consenting adults right? If so idgaf
Yeah. It’s juvenile to air this as though it’s dirty laundry.
Infidelity happens in plenty of relationships, and there are plenty of good and bad reasons for it to occur.
Was every person engaged in a sexual situation consenting to that situation? If so this is just humans doing relationships. Sorry if it upsets their Christian ideals or something but get fucked.
