Maggie McKneely of Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) said Democrats' indefensible encouragement of males in female sports and spaces is now magnified by the Graham Platner situation in Maine.
Fox News reports that Platner is heading into Tuesday's primary for the Democrat Senate seat as the leading candidate despite criticisms of multiple allegations, from abusing former girlfriends to sending explicit text messages to women that weren’t his wife.
"It's pretty astounding that you would have this guy nominated to be in the higher chamber in Congress. He's actually still running. They haven't kicked him out yet,” says McKneely. “I haven't seen widespread denouncing of these allegations of him sexting all these women while he's married or the allegations of abuse."
These are the same Democrats who have said things such as “Believe Women” when allegations were made against Republican candidates, but things appear different when it's the other way around.
"Honestly, I don't think you should just believe all women on face value. I think you should investigate every claim, but you should take every claim and consider it equally,” says McKneely. “It shouldn't matter what someone's political beliefs are, what their faith is, what their race is. You should look at the claim, investigate it, see if it's truthful, and then decide."
McKneely called it a "crazy habit" of the Democrats either to completely believe someone in one situation or then to completely discredit another woman in another situation just depending on how it's going to serve their political agenda.
"It's totally unjust and totally wrong, and they're hypocrites," McKneely says.
The New York Times ran a story last Thursday featuring several women who dated Platner, recalling unsettling behavior.
Platner even admitted to not having been a perfect boyfriend.
"Throughout this campaign, I've been open about what was a very dark period of my life where I struggled with undiagnosed PTSD, too often self-medicated with alcohol, and was a far from perfect boyfriend," Platner told The New York Times. "I take responsibility for all of that and wish I had been better."
The Senate candidate added that "any characterization beyond that is false" and politically motivated.
"I'm not proud of who I was then, but I am proud of the work I've done since, and the movement we are building in Maine," said Platner.
Platner is a veteran, but a different veteran who is a resident of Maine told Fox that Platner was a disgrace using PTSD as an excuse to hide his failings.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), who is running against Platner in the November election, has described him as being "too radical" for Maine.
