华盛顿讯 —— 加利福尼亚州联邦民主党众议员罗·卡纳周日谴责了缅因州民主党联邦参议院候选人格雷厄姆·普拉特纳被指控的针对女性的不当行为，但同时表示他已为自己的行为承担了责任。
“他的行为是厌女的、可耻的、错误的，但对缅因州的很多民众来说，这并不意外，”卡纳在接受《与玛格丽特·布伦南面对全国》节目采访时说道。
卡纳于周五在缅因州与普拉特纳共同开展竞选活动，当前民主党正力争在11月拿下共和党现任参议员苏珊·柯林斯占据的这个席位，这是全美最受关注的竞选之一。民主党若要掌控参议院多数席位，必须拿下柯林斯的这个席位，而她是2024年 Kamala Harris（哈里斯）赢得其所在州的唯一一位共和党参议员。
“我遇到的缅因州选民表示，他们不喜欢这种行为。他们早就知道他有这些不光彩的过往。他们愿意给他宽大处理和改过自新的机会，现在他们更关注他竞选的议题，”卡纳说道。
上周有消息披露普拉特纳曾向非妻子的女性发送涉性信息，与此同时，有关这位候选人对待前女友行为的指控也浮出水面。《纽约时报》后续的一篇报道将普拉特纳的行为描述为“令人不安”，其中包括一项他存在身体虐待行为的指控，普拉特纳对此予以否认。
据《纽约时报》报道，普拉特纳当时的女友林赛·法菲尔德表示，十年前两人交往期间，他“经常抓着她的肩膀——有时力道大到会留下痕迹”。在一次争吵中，他“将她的胳膊扭到身后，把她推到卧室里，并从门外锁住房门，让她无法出去”。
一些民主党人质疑这些指控的时机——就在普拉特纳的初选前几天——以及法菲尔德的可信度——普拉特纳的竞选团队也指出了这一点。
但卡纳表示他相信法菲尔德。
“我认为我们这边不应该攻击她，我钦佩她挺身而出的勇气，”卡纳说道，并称她的政治背景“无关紧要”。“我相信她。”
当被问及是否确信所有对普拉特纳不利的破坏性信息都已被曝光时，卡纳表示：“他本人就是这么说的。”
“显然，听着，如果有暴力行为的证据，我不会支持他。如果有性侵犯的证据，我绝对不会支持他，”卡纳补充道。
针对《纽约时报》详细披露的指控，卡纳指出法菲尔德称自己并未受伤。
“他们说没有造成伤害，没有伤情。存在的是有毒的言语和言语恐吓，对此我予以谴责。但格雷厄姆明确表示，没有任何暴力行为的证据。在我看来，这是一条红线，”卡纳说道。
Khanna condemns Platner’s past actions, but “they didn’t come as a surprise” to Maine voters

Washington — Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California on Sunday condemned Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner’s alleged conduct toward women, but said he has taken “accountability” for his actions.
“His actions were misogynistic, they were shameful, they were wrong, but they didn’t come as a surprise to a lot of the folks in Maine,” Khanna said in an interview with “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.
Khanna campaigned with Platner on Friday in Maine as Democrats seek to flip the seat held by Republican Sen. Susan Collins in November in what is one of the most closely watched races in the country. Any hope for Democrats to take control of the upper chamber includes flipping Collins’ seat, and she is the only Republican senator representing a state won by Kamala Harris in 2024.
“The Maine voters that I met said they don’t like it. They knew that he had these chapters. They are willing to extend him grace and redemption and they’re focused now on what he’s running for,” Khanna said.
After the disclosure last week that Platner had sent sexual messages to women who were not his wife, allegations about the candidate’s behavior toward ex-girlfriends also surfaced. A later New York Times report described Platner’s “unsettling” behavior, including one claim that he was physically abusive, which Platner denies.
According to the Times, Platner’s then-girlfriend, Lyndsey Fifield, said that while they were dating a decade ago, he “regularly grabbed her by the shoulders — sometimes hard enough to leave marks.” During one argument, he “twisted her arm behind her back, shoved her into a bedroom, and held the door closed from the other side so she couldn’t get out.”
Some Democrats questioned the timing of the allegations — days before Platner’s primary — and the credibility of Fifield — who the Platner campaign points out.
But Khanna said he believed Fifield.
“I don’t think our side should be attacking her, and I appreciate her courage in coming forward,” Khanna said, calling her political background “irrelevant.” “I believe her.”
Asked whether he was confident all of the damaging information has come out against Platner, Khanna said, “That’s what he says.”
“Obviously, look, if there was evidence of violence, I would not support him. If there was evidence of sexual assault, I’d have zero support for him,” Khanna added.
On the allegations detailed by the Times, Khanna pointed to Fifield saying that she was not injured.
“They said there was no harm, no injury. There was toxicity, and there was verbal intimidation, which I condemn. But Graham has made it clear that there was no evidence of violence. That to me is a red line,” Khanna said.
