Thank you, Allison for the update. Democrats want to put a person with AIPAC in Maine . I believe Mr. Platner is being set up by a right wing pundit perhaps. You may want to ask Rick Wilson. I don’t want dirty money in campaigns especially concerning democrats.
This is crazy about Platner. I know he had some questionable tattoos and some other red flags. I hate that this has happened.
