Carville blasts Dems amid Platner scandal, warning they ignored a classic rule of politics and paid the price

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville criticized Democrats for failing to vet Graham Platner during his Senate campaign, as new sexual assault allegations emerge. Maine resident Jenny Racicot accused Platner of rape, while Platner has denied the claim. Carville previously defended Platner amid earlier controversies but now calls the lack of candidate vetting a failure of political norms.
