Jared Golden Silent as Platner Glorifies Political Violence
New reports are exposing Maine Democrat Candidate Graham Platner’s history of promoting political violence, and Maine’s favorite flip-flopper, Jared Golden, has refused to condemn his fellow Democrat’s previous comments.
In now deleted posts, Platner said “expect to fight fascism without a good semi-automatic rifle, they ought to do some reading of history,” and “an armed working class is a requirement for economic justice.”
Jared Golden refuses to condemn his buddy’s comments, because he either doesn’t care or is too scared to stand up to the radical liberal base that’s launching a full blown rebellion against him.
Only 38% of Democrats believe it is always unacceptable to feel joy at the death of someone they oppose. This is today’s Democrat Party: cheering on violent hate, coddling extremists, and refusing to police their own.
“Political violence isn’t a debate point, it’s a red line. If out of touch Democrat Jared Golden can’t condemn a fellow Democrat glorifying guns as a political tool, he’s choosing his radical base over basic decency.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
