In the hours since one of Graham Platner\u2019s former girlfriends accused him of rape, the Maine Democrat has lost the support of the state and national party, as well as nearly every prominent figure who stuck with him through his scandal-plagued campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cGraham Platner may drop out. (I hope he doesn\u2019t, but.),\u201d the septuagenarian horror writer and Maine resident posted on X. \u201cMeanwhile, the Abuser in Chief just keeps on keepin\u2019 on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Graham Platner may drop out. (I hope he doesn\u2019t, but.) Meanwhile, the Abuser in Chief just keeps on keepin\u2019 on.<\/p>\n

King, a former cocaine addict whose 1986 novel \u201cIt\u201d depicts group sex among minors, has long promoted Democrats and leftwing causes on social media. But his defense of Platner \u2014 as well as his attempt to shift the focus to President Donald Trump\u2019s alleged misdeeds \u2014 leaves him prominent among a rapidly dwindling group of supporters.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Politico published a bombshell report in which 41-year-old Maine resident Jenny Racicot recounts how Platner drunkenly broke into her house in 2021 and raped her. The report, which includes corroborating evidence from Racicot and people with whom she shared the story, seems to have been the last straw for Democrats who stuck with Platner through revelations of his offensive social media posts, Nazi tattoo, presence on an app popular among sexual predators, and allegations of abuse from other women.<\/p>\n

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) demanded that Platner drop out in a statement with fellow New York Democrat Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. The statement said that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee \u2014 which Gillibrand chairs \u2014 \u201cwill not invest in the Maine Senate race if Platner remains on the ballot.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Maine Democrat has also lost support from Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), two of his earliest and most ardent backers. The Maine Democratic Party also withdrew its support, as did leftist podcaster Hasan Piker. Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego (D), embroiled in a controversy of his own, also called for Platner to drop out of the race.<\/p>\n

Platner denied Racicot\u2019s accusations in a two-minute video message\u00a0shared to social media shortly after Politico\u2019s story dropped.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny accusation of nonconsensual behavior is categorically false,\u201d Platner said. \u201cRegardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting, but mindful the political reality it will inflict, we are taking time to reflect on the best path forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maine Democrats face a\u00a0July 13 deadline to swap Platner for another Democrat to challenge incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins.<\/p>\n

Racicot told Politico that she \u201cdidn\u2019t come forward sooner\u201d due to \u201cthe huge moral conflict that I had between supporting his politics, but not supporting him as a person.\u201d Seeing other women come forward motivated Racicot to speak out, she says, noting that \u201cI just want the truth out there. I just want people to have a whole scope of who he is as a person.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTell you what,\u201d King wrote on X shortly after posting his initial statement of support. \u201cIf you knew the whole truth about everyone in the Senate and House of Reps, those chambers would be dead empty. Jesus said, \u2018Let him without sin cast the first stone.’\u201d<\/p>\n
