JONATHAN TURLEY: When journalists whine about #MeToo, they don’t mean Platner, too
Jodi Kantor of the New York Times defended Democratic candidate Graham Platner despite multiple women accusing him of physical abuse, sexting, and dismissing rape victims, arguing the allegations differ from 'classic MeToo' cases. Kantor emphasized the accusations occurred within consensual relationships, contrasting with workplace harassment scenarios, while critics highlighted additional controversies like Platner's Nazi tattoo and mocking of victims.
