Ex-Girlfriend Levels 2021 Allegations Against Graham Platner 1 Day After Maine Nomination

Summary
A woman who said she dated Graham Platner from February to July 2021 posted allegations a day after he won Maine’s Democratic Senate nomination, accusing him of lying, manipulation and infidelity.
Her account also challenged Platner’s explanation of his Totenkopf tattoo, saying he told her he kept it as a reminder that many abroad saw the U.S. as "the bad guys"—different from his public claim that he did not know its Nazi associations.
Platner’s campaign told Fox News he has repeatedly said he chose the skull-and-crossbones design in Croatia to commemorate surviving Ramadi and friends killed there, adding that he has since covered it up.
The new claims deepen scrutiny of a nominee already facing backlash over resurfaced remarks on sexual abuse, race and terror as he prepares to challenge Republican Sen. Susan Collins.
