CNN Panel Questions Hunter Biden's Platner Defense as Sellers Likens Newsom Pairing to Ninja Turtles

Summary
Bakari Sellers said Hunter Biden and Gavin Newsom formed a strange "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"-style duo as CNN panelists debated Biden’s defense of Maine Senate nominee Graham Platner.
Hunter Biden, appearing with Newsom, said he had heard nothing showing Platner was abusive, misogynistic, antisemitic or racist, and argued the Democrat’s progressive positions should keep him in the party fold.
Abby Phillip said few voters were asking to hear from Hunter Biden and questioned why some Democrats were so quick to amplify his anti-Trump posts despite the Biden family’s political baggage.
Xochitl Hinojosa warned national Democrats against rallying behind Platner, saying allegations around him could alienate women voters ahead of the midterms and the 2028 race.
Platner, an oyster farmer and Marine veteran, won Maine’s Democratic Senate nomination on Tuesday and now faces scrutiny over old posts, a tattoo critics tied to Nazi imagery and explicit-text allegations.
