Fifield, 41, is the second woman to allege this week that Platner engaged in nonconsensual sexual conduct. Jenny Racicot, 41, who said she previously dated Platner, told The Post and other outlets on Monday that he sexually assaulted her in late 2021, leading a growing number of allies to drop their endorsements and call on him to withdraw from the race for a Maine seat in the U.S. Senate. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), his most influential and prominent supporter, said he spoke with Platner on Tuesday and urged him to withdraw from his campaign to unseat Susan Collins, the incumbent Republican.
Platner, 41, a Marine Corps veteran and oyster farmer, also denied Racicot’s allegation but said on Monday that he was “mindful of the political reality” that the reporting will “inflict” on his campaign and was “taking the time to reflect on the best path forward.”
Fifield initially told The Post about the alleged condom removal during a June 20 interview that was off the record. She said she decided to speak publicly about it Tuesday in part because, she said, she wanted to show that Racicot was not alone in experiencing issues with Platner involving sexual consent.
Assuming this isn’t just complete bullshit, like you do realize that this makes you a terrible person right? The fact that you yourself have experienced something similar, and yet you are still heartlessly blaming a victim because she was white, is downright shameful.
You should be ashamed.
I’m criticising the painfully overt racism involved. the one still going on with people still making excuses and rallying around a nazi lover.
yes, it’s obvious that I’m worthless because of the color of my skin and I’m the bad guy for bringing it up.
I’m all against suicide, but I won’t cry about Eva Baun or Hitler offing themselves. Nazi lives don’t count. but apparently in the US, they count more than me.
