Accuser #2 Jenny Racicot was discredited by the Very Magazine who published the Story Politico!
This is false. There is no broadly accepted evidence that she is 'discredited'. Her allegation is disputed simply because she accused him of SA and he denied it. There has been no court ruling saying she fabricated her story.
Politico clearly states they could not get Jenny’s witness to go on record to verify her story!
This is not true either. Politico did not publish a retraction or say Racicot was discredited. Instead, Politico stood by its reporting and described the corroboration it relied on.
They have admitted there were limits to what it could verify. But they reported that they reviewed the emails between her and her therapist, interviewed a man she confided in, and reviewed messages where she warned another warning another woman about Platner years before his campaign.
The sort of true part is that every potential witness or evidence would or could not be made public. But that is far different than saying Politico had no corroboration.
So the question is why Politico did you write the story?
This is an opinion. Politico's stated reason was that they believed the allegation met their editorial standards based on multiple interviews and corroborating materials.
Politico is a known Dem Media outlet,
Opinion. Independent media-bias organizations generally rate Politico as centrist to lean left in news coverage, but not as an official Democratic outlet.
they destroyed Graham so the Republicans couldn’t push their lies about Graham!
Speculation. There is no evidence establishing that Politico published the story for that purpose.
Dems would say “truth doesn’t matter” winning the election does! I would say Maine didn’t give a crap about Graham’s 1 night stands & you fools destroyed the career of a Good Dem Politician, Good Politicians are rare for both Parties!
That is not supported either. Polls show they had concerns about his issues and of course the SA allegation was the last straw for a lot of folks and they started withdrawing support for him. It was not just the 'one-night stands' -- he had a lot going on that was working against him.
So, the biggest issue is the assertion that she was discredited and the implication being that was the sole, or main, reason Platner was forced away.
