Sunny Hostin supports Graham Platner despite calling him 'a liar, a racist, an anti-Semite'

The ABC hosts called the Maine Democrat flawed as reports said multiple women received sexually explicit messages and his wife warned campaign officials.

  • Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner faces multiple controversies including explicit text messages, offensive remarks involving racism, antisemitism, homophobia, and a controversial Nazi-related tattoo, which he has addressed in some form.
  • Hosts of ABC's The View criticized Platner harshly, with co-host Sunny Hostin labeling him a liar, racist, and antisemite but supporting his Senate run to help Democrats win majority control, while other co-hosts strongly opposed his candidacy and suggested considering other candidates.
  • Platner's wife, Amy Gertner, reportedly informed his campaign officials about his explicit texts, contributing to the ongoing scandal surrounding his candidacy.
  • Despite widespread criticism and calls from some commentators to find alternative candidates, Platner remains the presumptive Democratic nominee for the Senate race in Maine.
