Dems ABANDON Platner After Devastating SA Allegations

What was said

"Elizabeth Warren asked him straight up, she's like, look, be honest here, man. What else is out there? And he said, there is nothing else that is out there. There are no more scandals."

After a previous Politico story about Grant Platner's troubled past, Elizabeth Warren directly asked him in a meeting with the Democratic caucus whether any other damaging information existed, and he categorically assured her nothing else was coming. This assurance led supporters to defend him publicly, only for the rape allegation to emerge weeks later, creating a sense of betrayal among volunteers and endorsers who had staked their reputations on his character. The revelation that Platner may have misled party leaders about his past has intensified calls for his withdrawal.
