During a recent episode of Mark Halperin’s ‘2Way’ podcast, Mark and guest, conservative talk radio host Larry O’Connor, teased that something major is going to drop on far left Maine senate candidate Graham Platner that is so bad he will have to ‘leave the state.’

It’s hard to imagine what such a thing could be. Platner has already faced wide criticism for having a Nazi tattoo on his chest for almost twently years, which democrats and various liberal media types are hilariously trying to defend.

Platner has also faced scrutiny for comments on the website Reddit, in which he disparaged, women, rape victims, black people, and the LGBT community.

Mark Halperin said Friday on 2WAY’s “The Morning Meeting” that an NRSC source tells him the opposition research they have yet to release on presumed Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner is so damaging that he won’t just lose the election, “he’ll have to leave the state.”

Platner is the presumed winner of the Democratic primary despite reports that he had a tattoo with Nazi iconography and a history of online comments that could offend almost anyone.

“The NRSC says they’re going to go so negative on Platner,” Halperin said. “I saw one of the spokespeople say he’ll have to leave the state. He won’t just lose the race, he’ll have to leave Maine.”

Halperin predicted the timing will be strategic: “I assume the RNC will drop some oppo on the eve of the first debate, like that afternoon.

When will this stuff come out? Halperin has a theory. He believes that the RNC will drop opposition research the afternoon of the first debate, Collins walks in ready, and the moderator hits Platner with whatever the RNC has dug up. The working assumption is that Platner plays the “I was young and irresponsible” card, maybe leaning on his military service. “I just returned from war. I was 22, 23,” Walling offered as a hypothetical defense. “And, you know, these don’t reflect my values now.”

And, as O’Connor pointed out, that’s a terrible excuse. “It tells you who he is, and it’s an insult to the men and women who wear the uniform to say, ‘Well, you know, I was in combat.’ What about all the Marines that came back from combat who didn’t do and say all of the things that this guy did?”

Conservatives have been relentless in their criticism of Platner and his defenders.
