Top Dem lawmakers duck questions when pressed on Platner's Reddit scandal

Top Democratic leaders including Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer declined to comment on whether Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner's vulgar Reddit posts discovered in a 2,000-post archive have become a liability for Democrats. The posts contain graphic sexual comments, mocking of a Purple Heart soldier, and controversial statements about rape victims and racial groups. Senator Elizabeth Warren, who endorsed Platner in the Maine Democratic primary, defended both him and her endorsement, citing his apology and current character.
