Why Are ME-02 Dems Still Standing With Graham Platner?

May 19, 2026

Just when it seemed like the Matt Dunlap and Joe Baldacci-backed Graham Platner couldn’t get any more vile, newly uncovered posts show Platner discussing pleasuring himself in a porta-potty and feeling “soul filling joy” over sexually explicit imagery.

This comes just days after Platner was exposed for trashing local police officers and the American flag, and calling for a political revolution.

And don’t forget, recent polling shows Platner is unpopular in ME-02, and Republican Paul LePage is leading Dunlap and Baldacci by double digits. 

“Out of touch Democrats Matt Dunlap and Joe Baldacci’s continued support for Graham Platner is disqualifying. Every day that ends in ‘y,’ Mainers learn more about just how abhorrent and unfit Platner is to represent them, and they deserve better than a representative who supports this sick freak.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
