Platner Officially Withdraws From Senate Race With Parting Shot to ICE, Israel

Platner Officially Withdraws From Senate Race With Parting Shot to ICE, Israel

“F*ck ICE. Free Palestine. Up the Hearts.”

That Graham Platner is such a classy dude, isn’t he? That’s sarcasm, by the way.

Platner sent a letter to the Maine Secretary of State’s Office to formally withdraw from the 2026 Senate race against Sen. Susan Collins (R).

Platner basically repeated everything he said in his Wednesday video.

But Platner signed off, “F*ck ICE. Free Palestine. Up the Hearts.”

The office confirmed it received Platner’s letter.

“The deadline for the party to name a replacement is the 4th Monday in July (July 27, 2026),” the office wrote in the press release. “Maine Statute does not address how a replacement candidate may be chosen by a party, only that the candidate filling the vacancy must be a ‘qualified person.’ Announcements about how a replacement candidate will be chosen or when that candidate will be announced will come from the political party.”

The Maine Democratic Party will hold a nominating convention.

Many people have already launched bids:

  • Former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson
  • Former Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention Nirav Shah
  • Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows
  • Maine Beer Company co-founder Dan Kleban
  • Former congressional candidate Jordan Wood, who served as chief of staff to former Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA)
  • DONATE

    I guess he got his payment. I though he was going to wait until Monday.

    As the NY Yankee announcer says when one of the bombers hits one out: “See ya.” Most ashamed should be the likes of the Democrats that supported this guy, like Liz “he’s my kind of man” Warren, good old Bernie Sanders, or Ro Khanna, to name three. But now another undemocratic Democrat can rise in Maine.

    By “taxpayer funded genocide”, I assume he means the billions in “humanitarian aid” we unwittingly gave over the years to regimes like Hamas in Gaza, funding their genocidal projects. Otherwise, he is an absolute fool on top of being a bum and brute.

      you omitted the pallets of cash given to Iran mullahs used to fund hezbulah, huttis in yemen, etc

    Honestly the Free Palestine people can have him. After all in Gaza women have no rights and can be honor killed for the crime of being raped. So of course Platner a rapist Nazi is a good fit for their “cause.”

    Looks like the check cleared.

    I wonder what he’ll do now. Perhaps star in a remake of Downfall? Marry Eva Braun in the Führerbunker?

    The world’s his oyster, you might say.

    Nazi opposes ICE, supports the Palestinian murderers. Who could have guessed?

    Was the vile Platner contending to be a Senator from Maine, or Gaza?

    And, “Free ‘Palestine’?”

    “Palestine” is an ancient Roman province whose name was coined 600 years before Submission’s wretched founding, and whose name was brazenly appropriated by the Arab Muslim descendants of invaders from Arabia, in the 20th century, in order to grant themselves undeserved and contrived historical legitimacy.

      Actually there’s evidence that Palestine originate in Greek as a pun based on Jewish history – Israel wrestling with God. Since Palestine refers to Jewish territory, Greater Israel if you will – though they didn’t control all the territory covered by the term at the time, Free Palestine can in fact be interpreted get the Arabs out of Gaza and the West Bank, return that land to the natives i.e. the Jews.

      But obviously that’s not how the Nazi Democrat meant it, rather it was up with Judenrein, get the natives out of the region, and hand it all ‘back’ to the Arabs. Funny how the Left support all native peoples to the detriment of the West, but not native Westerners or Jews. Nihilism masquerading as ethics?

    Nazis gonna Nazi. That SS Totenkopf is still next to his heart.

      We shouldn’t exclude from criticism the 150K Maine d/prog who voted for him in the primary despite knowing about it. Nor the d/prog Elders and lapdog corporate media who embraced him.

    F*ck Platner. Free Chauvin. Up the gall bladders.
