TPM VIDEO: How Big is the Platner Problem Going to Get?

Graham Platner’s scandals just keep piling up. This week, news emerged that the likely Democratic nominee to face off against Susan Collins in the Maine Senate race had sexted with several women who were not his wife shortly before he launched his campaign. The New York Times followed up with a piece talking to several women who alleged that had volatile and “toxic” relationships with Platner. This is, of course, after reports emerged that he has a Nazi symbol tattoo. (Platner denied knowing about the tattoo’s significance when he got it as a Marine years ago, and got it covered up during the campaign).

TPM executive editor John Light, publisher Joe Ragazzo and reporter Kate Riga got together to talk it all through. Check it out below.
