Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) on Sunday urged Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner to disprove what Warner called “disturbing” allegations of emotional abuse of ex-girlfriends.

Speaking with ABC’s This Week, Warner was asked about allegations brought by former partners of Platner that accuse the Democratic candidate of emotional abuse and volatile, toxic behavior that were published by the New York Times on Thursday.
