If you read the NYT article they mention three women but only ever talk about one woman's experience and that woman happens to be connected to the Heritage Foundation. Clear as day what is happening here.

Let's also not forget the republicans rape children or unconditionally follow people who do.

And they dated for years! Wow, he's such an accomodating guy, willing to comprimise!! Love to see you chime in to remind everyone women lie about abuse. Maybe there's a reason the liberal women who are mentioned but not discussed at length too, but no it's probably because he's itty bitty innocent and its allll liesssssss

lol so i'm supposed to believe the guy who got ptsd from killing people for the usa is redeemable, but this woman is 100% unreliable and irrideemable for being republican?

She previously worked for the heritage foundation? Yeh and platner was previously a fucking us marine, they sound like a perfect match tbh

It was something that stuck with her through the years, Ms. Fifield said.

“He said this a lot: If anybody ever broke in here, I would rape them,” she recalled, saying that he added that it would not be in “a sexual way, not in a gay way.”

“He was like, I would rape them to show them that I’m dominant,” she said.

Asked about those remarks, a Platner campaign official did not dispute them. A friend who knew Mr. Platner and Ms. Fifield during that period said the comments sounded out of character

the amount of time i am seeing people defend this guy is ridiculous

the article btw, since seemingly no one is linking it https://archive.md/zDww0
