Lying creep never was a part of any movement. Morris Katz made this character up out of whole cloth and force fed him Democratic talking points now he’s feeling him words to attack the Democratic Party for rightfully so telling him he has to step down.

THANK GOD HE IS GONE!! VOTE RED!

I am as left as they come. The Vietnam war did that to me. But I feel Platner made the correct decision. Everyone needs to be accountable for their personal behavior. When we fail to uphold a high standard of personal and professional behavior for our side, we become almost as bad as the MAGAts. Not quite, but almost. And we do NOT want to be almost as bad as the MAGAts.

His message still resonates with me and is solid and sound, even though the man himself still needs help and a lot of work! You can hate the man, but not his politics! We need to vet people better so that they are squeaky clean with no baggage before we place them into the crucible that is modern day politics, because it's merciless and brutal at least for the dems! If Platner were running as a republican, he would have been sworn in already and Scott Jennings would be slurping his nut sack!

Anyone who is against enforcing our immigration laws is our enemy. I don’t know if he’s guilty or rape but he’s damn sure guilty of putting our citizens at risk.

If only there had been warning signs😂😂😂

From the Party that touted "Believe All Women" are now labeling sexualassault victims "GOP Operatives"..the Hypocrisy of the Left is ad nauseam.

Was he going to cry? Get off the stage - no one wants you involved, unless it's counseling
@
Now let’s watch how fast his accusers stop with their fake grape stories 😂
@
Bernie told him to quit!
@
His accuser is definitely lying
@
For whatever he did, I respect his decision to suspend the campaign. It’s a lot of character the right kind. ❤
@
☹️🤷🏼♂️
@
In my educated opinion this rage filled arrogant man will never remain sober. With his track record his fall from sobriety will BE BIG. It would be better for everyone if he neither owned or had access to any weapons .
@
DEMOCRATS KNEW ALL ALONG ABOUT THESE CHARGES. BUT HE WAS FLYING HIGH SO THEY WERE SILENT UNTIL HIS POLL NUMBERS DROPPED. ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS COMES UP. HYPOCRITES 😂😊

Bernie Sanders backed this guy.
@
Id be suing for slander.
@
Does this mean he gets to pocket his campaign contributions?

I guess "suspend" sounds better than "quit in shame".

Someone with a clear conscience wouldn’t have been phased by such an accusation.
