Platner floats jailing billionaires in fiery pre-primary speech pushing far-left agenda
Graham Platner, a Maine Senate candidate, proposed jailing billionaires for looking at political ads 'the wrong way' during a speech promoting a far-left agenda including universal health care and wealth taxes. His remarks drew criticism from Republicans, who highlighted his endorsers funded by billionaires and accused him of promoting 'Marxist dystopian' ideas. Platner's campaign faces additional scrutiny due to allegations of past abusive behavior from multiple ex-girlfriends.
