It’s not the Nazi tattoo that’s the problem for a troubled Senate candidate; it’s the sexual allegations.

After serious, disturbing new details emerged about Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner’s treatment of his ex-girlfriend, the Democratic hopeful said he is “taking the time to reflect on the best path forward,” while denying the allegations.

Platner won his state’s Democratic primary to challenge Republican Sen. Susan Collins, but his campaign got off to a rocky start when his Nazi Totenkopf (death’s-head tattoo) was discovered. As soon as it became politically inexpedient to sport the symbol of hate on his chest, Platner inked it over. The oyster farmer claimed he didn’t understand the significance of the tattoo, though people close to him said he not only knew but also bragged about it.

Jenny Racicot, who dated Platner years ago, alleged that he visited her one night after she explicitly told him not to come. He arrived heavily intoxicated and forced himself on her, by far the most serious allegation so far. Racicot said she begged him to stop, as she was not on birth control.

“I remember the specific moment where I thought to myself, like, ‘This is no longer my choice,’” she said. “I just want the truth out there. I just want people to have a whole scope of who he is as a person.”

Racicot said that Platner was so drunk, he had no recollection of the encounter the next morning.

“I wanted to directly address the troubling, serious, and false allegations against me,” Platner said in a video statement. “Any accusation of nonconsensual behavior is categorically false.”

Democrats, spooked by the allegations and aware that the window of time for Platner to drop out of the race is drawing to a close (he has until Monday, July 13), are rushing to withdraw their endorsements.

End Citizens United announced that it withdrew its endorsement and called for Platner to drop out. “The allegations reported today are profoundly disturbing and disqualifying,” said the group’s president, Tiffany Muller.

State Sen. Mattie Daughtry, a Democrat and the president of the Maine Senate; Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.); and Donna Brazile, a former chair of the Democratic National Committee, all joined the growing chorus of voices urging Platner to drop out.

The previous endorsements of prominent Democrats did not age well.

“Graham Platner isn’t just our best and only chance to beat Susan Collins, he’s a good, decent man who’s struggled and grown and is always trying to do better,” said Jon Favreau, American actor, director, producer, screenwriter, former President Barack Obama’s speechwriter, and host of the podcast Pod Save America.

“I hope everyone with reservations takes a little time to get to know the real life version of him, not what the algorithm throws in our faces,” he added.

Beating President Donald Trump was so important, even Democratic Jews threw their support behind Platner, such as Chuck Schumer and Bernie Sanders. It remains to be seen if they will formally withdraw their endorsements.
