NEW: FEC Filing Shows Matt Dunlap is Still Standing with Graham Platner

A new report shows that sick freak Matt Dunlap is still standing with Graham Platner.

Dunlap has accepted thousands from Platner’s immediate family, and in an interview yesterday, he even blamed Platner’s consultants for his downfall, saying he hadn’t been “well-vetted.” Platner.

Now that Platner’s campaign ship has sunk, Dunlap is hoping not to have his pulled down with it.

Dunlap spoke to CBS News and blamed the fiasco on the fact that Platner wasn’t ‘well-vetted’ and even seemed to feel bad for Platner.

“Well, it’s hard to say, because we’ve been very focused on our race,” Dunlap said. “But I think what it really boiled down to is that Graham Platner was not well-vetted. He knew his background, I think maybe he thought those things would not matter very much.”

The latest FEC filing proves that National Democrats are giving up on Dunlap’s campaign, too, with Dunlap just bringing in $272,000. Dunlap was not the Democrats’ choice for this Congressional race, and it shows.

The FEC filing also lists a donation to Dunlap from Platner’s father, Bronson Platner, in the amount of $3,500. That was made on June 29, weeks after accusations alleging Graham Platner was abusive towards a former girlfriend were published in the New York Times, and long after all the other news of Platner’s problematic behavior was made public. Dunlap has received a total of $7,000 from Bronson Platner, and—as of today—has not returned any of it. Does that sound like a campaign that’s actually distancing itself from Graham Platner?

Despite these concerns, Dunlap forged ahead with his campaign and has not put much daylight between himself and Platner. This comes after a former girlfriend said Graham Platner was aware of his Nazi tattoo years ago (but didn’t cover it up until after he started his campaign). Lyndsey Fifield also came forward and said Platner was physically abusive during their relationship, including an incident where he ‘twisted her arm behind her back,’ pushed her in a bedroom, and kept her there overnight. Platner also blamed rape victims, saying they needed to act like adults, and his wife, Amy, confessed that Platner had ‘sexually explicit’ texts to other women on his phone. Yet another ex said Platner’s degrading remarks about women were not surprising, and that Platner ‘does not respect women.’ There were also revelations during the campaign that Platner would pleasure himself in porta potties and found ‘soul-filling joy’ in explicit sexual imagery. Platner even confessed he would rape someone who broke into his house, but ‘not in a gay way,’ to assert dominance.

“Matt Dunlap is not only still standing with an alleged rapist and Nazi-lover, but he’s also being bankrolled by his family members,” said NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole. “Dunlap’s continued embrace of Graham Platner is sick, and it will not go unnoticed by Mainers in November.”
