缅因州选民就格雷厄姆·普拉特纳诸多煽动性言论是否会改变投票意向表态
居民们意见分歧：一方认为普拉特纳的争议言论只是个别例外，另一方则认为这些言论暴露了性格缺陷，应剥夺他的公职参选资格。

作为缅因州民主党推定参议员候选人，普拉特纳因在已删除的Reddit账号上发表侮辱美军的言论遭到批评，而更多言论浮出水面，显示这位退伍老兵曾讨论境外卖淫问题，包括为在境外出轨的男性辩护。
格雷厄姆·普拉特纳分别在2019年和2012年的两条已删除Reddit帖子中提及泰国和拉美卖淫产业。在2012年4月的另一篇帖子中，他在回应一篇关于卖淫的新闻文章时，为在海外欺骗妻子和女友的男性辩护。
“你对拉美妓女没什么了解，对吧？”普拉特纳在2012年4月回复一位用户时写道，该用户当时表达了担忧，称“哥伦比亚的妓女是庞大性交易的一部分，这些女性实际上是奴隶”。

经审核的言论并未证实普拉特纳曾雇佣性工作者，该账号经常使用粗俗或夸张的语言。
这些言论曝光之际，普拉特纳已删除的Reddit历史记录正成为他挑战现任共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯的越来越大的负担，尤其是在他称美国陆军“充斥着肥胖、懒惰的垃圾”，并嘲笑曾在阿富汗受伤的前陆军步兵、紫心勋章获得者泰德·丹尼尔斯的帖子浮出水面后。该存档还显示普拉特纳使用歧视性 slur（原文如此）、贬低美国白人农村居民、支持政治暴力并发表露骨的性言论。
就在他发布“拉美妓女”帖子的同一天，普拉特纳还发布了一篇为在海外欺骗伴侣的男性辩护的帖子。
“我在军队里听过这种愚蠢的论调：‘如果你都不能对妻子忠诚，又怎能对战友忠诚？’”普拉特纳在回应一篇关于特勤局特工雇佣妓女的文章时写道，“好吧，我有很多好兄弟，他们撒谎、和女人出轨，但在工作中却是直来直去的硬汉。”
“我发现这种论调只有道德相对主义者才会挂在嘴边，他们总得找些事来抱怨。聪明人都明白，这两者并不矛盾，”他补充道。

多年后，普拉特纳仍在Reddit上讨论卖淫问题。
“可悲的是，阿富汗税把所有玩330天游戏的人都坑了，”普拉特纳在2019年写道，“把你的休假时间花在泰国和妓女鬼混，而不是在家被老婆骂，你还可以把这说成是在规避联邦所得税。”
他很可能是在指一些海外政府承包商使用的税务策略：如果他们在美国境外停留超过330天，就可以免缴联邦所得税。

福克斯新闻数字频道周五联系普拉特纳竞选团队请求置评，但未得到回应。
这些帖子来自Reddit账号“P-Hustle”，普拉特纳承认该账号属于他。缅因州观察报已将该账号的评论整理成可搜索的数据库。
“格雷厄姆·普拉特纳的道德堕落令缅因州选民感到震惊，迫使民主党人与他及其丑闻划清界限，”全国共和党参议员委员会新闻秘书贝尔纳黛特·布雷斯林告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

这位参议院候选人将其网络行为归咎于作战部署带来的心理创伤，以及他在海军陆战队服役期间习惯的“粗俗幽默”和“冒犯性语言”。
“我对此感到抱歉。请知道，这完全不能反映真实的我，”普拉特纳在去年10月谈及他的Reddit评论时说道，“我不希望你们仅凭我在网上写过的最蠢的东西来评判我。我更希望人们能根据今天的我来评判我。”
Platner’s online past gets raunchier with crude takes on ‘Latin American hookers,’ cheating abroad

The combat veteran attributed his online behavior to psychological trauma from deployments and crude military humor

Voters in Maine weigh in on whether Graham Platner’s many incendiary comments will change their vote
Residents are split on whether Platner’s controversies are rare exceptions or whether they point to a character issue that should disqualify him from office.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
As Maine’s presumptive Democratic nominee for Senate faces criticism for insulting the armed forces on his now-deleted Reddit account, additional comments have emerged showing the combat veteran discussing prostitution overseas, including defending men who cheated on their wives while abroad.
Graham Platner made allusions to both Thai and Latin American prostitution in a pair of deleted Reddit posts from 2019 and 2012, respectively. In another post, dated April 2012, he defended men who cheat on their wives and girlfriends overseas while responding to a news article about prostitution.
“You don’t have much experience with Latin American hookers, do you?” Platner wrote in April 2012, responding to another user who was expressing concerns that “prostitutes in Colombia are part of a giant sex trade and the women are effectively slaves.”

The reviewed comments do not establish that Platner hired sex workers, and the account often used crude or hyperbolic language.
The comments emerged as Platner’s deleted Reddit history has become a growing liability in his bid to unseat incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins, particularly after posts surfaced in which he called the U.S. Army “full of fat, lazy trash” and mocked Ted Daniels, a former Army infantryman and Purple Heart recipient who was wounded in Afghanistan. The archive has also shown Platner using slurs, denigrating white rural Americans, expressing support for political violence and making sexually explicit comments.
The same day as his post on “Latin American hookers,” Platner made a post defending men who had cheated on their significant others while abroad.
“I’ve heard that idiotic sentiment made within the confines of the the [sic] military. ‘If you can’t remain faithful to your wife, how can you remain faithful to your comrades?’” Platner wrote, responding to a piece about Secret Service agents using prostitutes. “Well, I have many good buddies who lied and cheated with women, and yet were straight shooting hard men when it came to their work.”
“I find it is a sentiment only held by moral relativists who need something to cry about, intelligent people realize they are not mutually exclusive,” he added.

Years later, Platner continued his discussion of prostitution on Reddit.
“And sadly, the Afghan tax f—ed everybody on the 330 game,” Platner wrote in 2019. “Spend your leave banging hookers in Thailand instead of getting b—-ed at by the wife back home, and you could sell it as avoiding federal income tax.”
He was likely referring to a tax strategy used by some government contractors working abroad, where, if they spent more than 330 days outside the United States, they could avoid paying federal income tax.

The Platner campaign did not respond to a request for comment when reached by Fox News Digital on Friday.
The posts were made by the Reddit account “P-Hustle,” which Platner acknowledges was his. Comments from that account have been compiled into a searchable database by the Maine Monitor.
“Graham Platner’s moral depravity has alarmed Maine voters, forcing Democrats to distance themselves from him and his scandals,” National Republican Senatorial Committee press secretary Bernadette Breslin told Fox News Digital.

The Senate hopeful has attributed his online behavior to psychological trauma stemming from his combat deployments as well as the “crude humor” and “offensive language” he became accustomed to while serving as a Marine.
“I’m sorry for this. Just know that it’s not reflective at all of who I am,” Platner said of his Reddit comments in October. “I don’t want you to judge me on the dumbest thing I ever wrote on the internet. I would prefer if people could judge me on the person I am today.”
