Platner ripped cheaters as ‘garbage’ in unearthed posts before his own early-marriage sexting scandal

Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner repeatedly criticized a lawmaker on Reddit for cheating on his wife years before his campaign confirmed he sent sexually explicit messages to women early in his marriage. 

On four occasions between 2018 and 2019, Platner claimed that, while he was working as a bartender in D.C., former GOP Rep. Duncan Hunter had confided in him that he was sleeping with women who were not his wife. Platner called Hunter a "real piece of sh-t" and a "garbage person" because of that.
