Platner called PTSD excuse 'bulls---' in 2020 post, now cites his own struggle to explain online controversies

Graham Platner, a Democrat Senate candidate, faces criticism for past social media posts justifying political violence and insulting law enforcement, despite citing his struggle with PTSD as an explanation. Platner had previously called using PTSD as an excuse for bad behavior 'bulls---' in a 2020 post. He is running against Sen. Susan Collins in the midterm elections.
