两位此前因普拉特纳的争议事件不愿公开背书这位处境艰难的缅因州参议员候选人的民主党高层，终于在周二晚间普拉特纳轻松赢得初选后改变了态度。
众议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人查克·舒默和纽约州民主党人柯尔斯滕·吉利布兰德发表了一份看似敷衍的联合声明，支持仍深陷多起丑闻风波的普拉特纳。
“过去一年，我们找到了赢得民主党参议院多数席位的途径，通过击败那些支持特朗普有害议程的共和党人，终结特朗普政府的混乱与破坏，”他们在普拉特纳被宣布获胜后不久通过民主党参议院竞选委员会（DSCC）发布的声明中写道。

“11月，缅因州选民将选举格雷厄姆·普拉特纳，我们将赢得参议院多数席位，”他们总结道。
在这份声明中，这两位纽约州议员试图将温和派的缅因州共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯描绘成激进的亲特朗普共和党人，尽管她曾多次与特朗普总统意见相左。
“苏珊·柯林斯的投票有96%与特朗普一致，确认了他的极右翼司法提名，同时从特殊利益集团收取数百万美元，还投票剥夺缅因州民众的医保，她现在比以往任何时候都更加脆弱，”他们列举道。
深陷丑闻的普拉特纳拿下民主党参议员提名
上周，在最新丑闻曝光期间，普拉特纳在华盛顿特区进行危机访问期间会见了吉利布兰德、舒默及其他民主党人，当时的丑闻与他在一个有争议的消息应用程序上开设账号有关。
那次会面后，吉利布兰德拒绝透露她是否仍支持这位进步派候选人。
“我非常有信心我们会赢得缅因州，”她对记者表示。“我有信心。我相信我们会赢得缅因州，对此我毫不怀疑。”

舒默在那次会面后的国会山新闻发布会上也试图回避记者的直接提问。
“我今天会见了格雷厄姆·普拉特纳，我们将击败苏珊·柯林斯，夺回参议院，”他说。“我们将击败苏珊·柯林斯，夺回参议院。”
在被第五次问及此次会面时，他才极不情愿地直接点名普拉特纳以支持这位候选人。

在那次会面之前，普拉特纳就因被曝出在Kik上拥有活跃账号而陷入争议。Kik是一款匿名聊天平台，因其身份验证宽松而助长了儿童性虐待材料的泛滥。

就在华盛顿会面几天后，这位候选人被指控与一名前伴侣发生肢体不当行为，包括攻击性行为。普拉特纳否认了这些指控。

普拉特纳此前的丑闻还包括露骨的Reddit帖子、对一名紫心勋章获得者退伍军人发表的不敬言论、他胸前一个现已被遮盖的与纳粹有关的纹身，以及有报道称他在婚内与多名女性交换露骨色情信息。

Two top Democrat leaders who were hesitant to endorse embattled Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner by name amid his controversies finally relented Tuesday night after he cruised to victory in his primary election.
House Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., issued a seemingly half-hearted joint statement backing Platner as he continues to face heat stemming from a multitude of scandals.
“Over the past year, we have created a path to win a Democratic Senate majority and put a stop to the chaos and damage of the Trump administration by defeating the Republicans who enable his harmful agenda,” they wrote in a statement issued by the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) just after Platner was declared the winner.

“In November, Maine voters will elect Graham Platner, and we will win a Senate majority,” they concluded.
In the statement, the New York lawmakers attempted to paint moderate Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, as a radical pro-Trump Republican despite her several breaks with the president.
“Susan Collins has never been more vulnerable after she voted with Trump 96 percent of the time, confirmed his far-right judicial nominees, and took millions from special interests while voting to rip health care away from Mainers,” they listed.
SCANDAL-PLAGUED PLATNER CAPTURES DEMOCRATIC SENATE NOMINATION
Last week, Platner met with Gillibrand and Schumer, among other Democrats, during a crisis trip to Washington, D.C., in the midst of his latest scandal, which, at the time, was related to revelations of an account on a controversial messaging app.
After that meeting, Gillibrand refused to say whether she still supported the progressive candidate.
“I’m very confident we are going to win Maine,” she told reporters. “I do. I have confidence that we are going to win Maine and I have no doubt.”

Schumer also attempted to duck direct questions from reporters at a Capitol Hill press conference following that meeting.
“I met with Graham Platner today, we’re going to beat Susan Collins and take back the Senate,” he said. “We’re going to beat Susan Collins and take back the Senate.”
After he was asked for the fifth time about the meetings, he begrudgingly used Platner’s name to back the candidate.

“As I said, I endorsed Graham Platner,” he said.
Before that meeting, Platner was embroiled in controversy after it was revealed that he has an active account on Kik, an anonymous chatting platform notorious for lax identification methods that have enabled the proliferation of child sexual abuse material.

Platner used as his profile image on the application a sexually suggestive photo of himself shirtless and wearing only a towel around his waist.
Just days after the meetings in D.C., the candidate was accused of physical misconduct, including aggressive behavior, with a former romantic partner. Platner denies those accusations.

Platner’s previous scandals include sexually lewd Reddit posts, disrespectful comments made against a Purple Heart-winning combat veteran, a Nazi-linked tattoo on his chest that has since been covered up and reports he exchanged sexually explicit messages with several women while married.
