Washington Examiner columnist Guy Benson slammed the Democratic Party’s vetting and recruitment of Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, arguing the fallout from a bombshell report alleging sexual assault has left them badly embarrassed as the situation spirals into a political frenzy. 

Responding to reports showing the Democratic Party’s working-class base being displaced by affluent, college-educated voters set to inherit family wealth, Benson said, “I think those people, specifically, were the ones who helped recruit and vet, if you can call it that, Graham Platner.”
