    She told Politico she hesitated to make her claim public because she had a “huge moral conflict” between supporting Platner’s politics and not supporting him as a person. She also said she did not share the sexual assault claims with the New York Times for their story because she did not want to be known as a rape victim.

    But now she’s ok with that and making accusations at the worst possible political time for Platner. This is sus AF.

      Don’t be victim blaming. Literally everyone warned he couldn’t be trusted. I mean, the Nazi tattoo wasn’t enough for you to realise he’s a piece of shit?

        hardly victim blaming. you have an axe to grind against this guy. schumer/gilli have used this tactic repeatedly to target people they dont like.

        if platner does nothing else but remove collins im happy.

            Timing and context. Next time file a police report when it happens and I’ll lend it more credence vs it purely being a made up story with no supporting evidence.

            You’d need a few more reports for it to actually being a pattern of behavior vs some unfortunate situation where two individuals recollection of events differs.

            Right now all you have is a singular individual being pushed forward by a group of political actors with a history of making false sexually assault allegations against political opponents.

            platner hasnt done anything yet. hes been accused by a group that has literally made false sexual assault allegations in the past against political opponents and everyone else is dog piling to avoid any appearance of condoning it. which is understandable.

            if this was a serious allegation they’d have filed criminal charges but the fact of the matter is they wont because they’re not real allegations. remember biden had literally half a dozen or more allegations against him and schumer/gilli/warren/main stream media didnt say shit.

              Sure just file some criminal charges, it’s so easy and not at all one of the most stressful things you can do with no benefit to yourself…
