Jared Golden has the backbone of a wet paper straw

October 27, 2025

It has been more than a week since we learned that Democrat Graham Platner is a racistself-proclaimed communist who supports political violence, thinks rape victims are to blame, believes that cops are “bastards,” and sports a Nazi tattoo.

His fellow Democrat Jared Golden, who allegedly disagrees with these vile stances, has had nothing to say about it. Why?

He’s either too lazy to condemn Platner’s egregious agenda, or he’s desperately trying to appease his radical base (reminder: Golden recently drew a primary challenger who is more popular than he is).
