Governor Janet Mills released a TV ad in the U.S. Senate Democratic primary targeting Graham Platner over 2013 Reddit comments about sexual assault victims, with women in the ad calling them victim-blaming and disqualifying. Chuck Ellis and Jon Fetherston of The Maine Wire react.
They discuss whether the ad could be a turning point in the primary, Platner’s response, what they call Democratic double standards, and the latest on federal attention to MaineCare fraud.
