Chevalier's position on interracial relationships stems from a now-deleted social media post from September 2019 in which she criticized black and Arab men for "fetishizing ugly colonizer women." Chevalier, who describes herself as "Afro-Latina" and has said she operates "within the black queer feminist lens," is not Somali.
Duke and Chevalier have more in common than may meet the eye. Duke's insurgent 1991 Louisiana gubernatorial campaign—where he was effectively the GOP nominee—caused an uproar in the national Republican Party, which ultimately supported the Democrat (the famously corrupt Edwin Edwards, who won). Chevalier's extreme left-wing views, including those on race, are today causing similar ferment and embarrassment among Democrats, but so far, the national party has yet to disavow her.
Good news for Graham Platner! All the outrage over his many scandals is about to be forgotten. Why? Because a new scandal has emerged from a Democrat politician in New Mexico, Daniel Wormald, who apparently is a candidate for mayor of Albuquerque that is so horrific and disgusting that folks will soon forget about the Platner scandals which pale in comparison. As a result, Platner should definitely stick it out as a candidate for the U.S. Senate from Maine at least until July 13 (5:01 PM EDT to be exact).

Ron Filipkowski's take on the Platner situation
Maybe the consultants can do a better job vetting the candidates they recruit. Especially ones who came out of nowhere. Otherwise it looks like you either knowingly scammed us for a grift, you're willfully negligent or grossly incompetent. The consultant class sucks. A lot.
I think I agree with his assessment and would place the blame there rather than on the voters of Maine.

How many DU-folk have reached the, “He may be a rapist, but he’s OUR rapist,” stage?
. As the article pointed out, Platner was not the only choice Maine Dem voters had on their ballot. They CHOSE Platner, fully knowing what he was and is.
