Virginia Democrat Elaine Luria Downplays Rape Allegation Against Fellow Democrat Graham Platner.

Virginia Democrat Elaine Luria Downplays Rape Allegation Against Fellow Democrat Graham Platner.

The "Believe All Women" mantra of the radical left has been exposed as a total fraud once again. Former Congresswoman Elaine Luria has dismissed explosive sexual assault allegations against Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner, calling them a Republican "boogeyman" and "shiny new thing" designed to scare people.

In an interview, Luria, who is running to reclaim Virginia's 2nd Congressional District seat, brushed off the bombshell claims against her fellow Democrat while insisting she's "singularly focused on this district" and her "proven record." Luria stated that she's focused on listening to, supporting, and representing the people across the district, despite the serious allegations against Platner.

The allegations against Platner are serious and detailed. Jenny Racicot, a Maine woman who dated Platner on-and-off for more than two years, claims that he entered her rural home uninvited in late 2021 while deeply intoxicated and forced himself on her despite her repeated pleas to stop.

Racicot told a news outlet that she remembers Platner grabbing her pelvis and being forceful, and that she thought to herself, "This is no longer my choice." She also pointed to Platner's long pattern of disturbing comments about women, sexual assault, and rape, and his response to the allegations, which she described as blaming "drunk women."

This is far from the first time serious allegations have surfaced against Platner. Multiple women have come forward detailing a pattern of predatory and abusive behavior, including grabbing, twisting, and shoving, and making sickening comments about rape and dominance.

Platner's campaign has been rocked by numerous scandals, including sending sexually explicit texts to numerous women while married, his Nazi tattoo, hateful Reddit comments, and now this rape allegation. The seriousness of these allegations should not be trivialized for political gain.

Luria's dismissal of the allegations against Platner raises serious questions about her commitment to supporting and representing the people of Virginia's 2nd Congressional District.

The seriousness of these allegations demands a full and honest investigation, rather than being dismissed as a "shiny new thing" or a Republican "boogeyman."
