Trump accuses Democrats of hypocrisy on Platner, despite questions about his own conduct

President Donald Trump criticized Graham Platner, a Senate candidate in Maine, as a 'thug' and 'pig' while accusing Democrats of hypocrisy over Platner's past conduct, including explicit texts and a Nazi symbol tattoo. Platner won the Democratic nomination despite controversies, and Trump's comments were defended by the White House, which highlighted Platner's inflammatory social media posts. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee shifted focus to Republican Sen. Susan Collins' vulnerabilities.
