About This Episode
Michael breaks down Graham Platner's campaign exit video following sexual assault allegations that led to his withdrawal from Maine's U.S. Senate race. Michael examines the rhetoric of Platner's message—arguing that it reframes the controversy as a story of political persecution while sidestepping accountability. Plus, callers weigh in on what Platner's departure says about political campaigns, public trust, and the Democratic Party's response. Original air date 9 July 2026.
