In late January, however, Platner sat for a lengthy online interview with Nate Cornacchia, a retired Green Beret who has also promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories. Near the end of their hour-long conversation, Platner, a fellow military veteran, called himself “a longtime fan” of Cornacchia’s YouTube channel, “Valhalla VFT,” and said it was “an absolute pleasure being” on the show.

He and Maine democrats [redacted]. I'm sure he's going to stay in the race after making up a fucking ridiculous lie and they'll believe him.

I wish there was a podcast where the hosts went to different states and asked normie dems questions after the interviewees watched ~3 minute explainer slash reality check vid. This imaginary podcast could start in Maine. And that explainer vid would be a super-quickie summary of the Waffen-SS and the tattoo.

I really wonder what they'd say after they watched the vid. But maybe the results would be lame. They'd decide podcast and the vid were a (leftist) gotcha and they'd just say "Look, no candidate is perfect and we gotta stop Trump."

I would say that the party would never let a podcast like that sniff their candidate. Then again, they let George Santos win without doing any oppo-research.
