Khanna: 'I should've listened to by wife' about Platner

[RandySF]

NOTE: This post is more about Khanna than it is Platner.



Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), who formerly backed ex-Maine senate candidate Graham Platner, said he “should’ve listened to my wife” about the former candidate, who has been accused of sexual assault.

Khanna, a progressive, had backed Platner’s campaign during its run, and even attended a rally alongside the former Senate candidate last month.

He said the oyster farmer’s campaign showed “the power of building an FDR coalition with moral clarity on foreign policy in battleground states,” referencing former President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s progressive politics.

Khanna continued to support Platner after a New York Times report in which several women who were romantically involved with him described their relationships as “unsettling” and “toxic.”

1. Some humility?

How refreshing.

2. We really need institutionalized vetting.

If a US House Rep is relying on his gut, seems Maine voters were using the same feeling.

I voted for Janet Mills, but did vote Gramham 2nd.
