Eh, Republicans always cared more about if a Politician cheated on their spouse than the Democrats.

And Republicans don't care anymore if Trump is anything to go by.

So you can guess how much Democrats care about this.

Yes, on its own this isn't enough to sink a campaign.

But this isn't the only controversy Platner is dealing with.

He's been able to brush aside some controversies by saying that he's aged or matured or didn't have knowledge of stuff.

But this happened only a couple of years ago. It sinks his "I've matured" argument and it shows a self-serving willingness to lie to even his own wife. How can we trust he didn't know his tattoo wasn't a Nazi tattoo when he's now a known liar? How can we see he's matured when he was doing this just a couple of years ago?

We've already seen people uncover facebook group post about him being a suspected cheater, how close are we to text (or photos) getting leaked?

Why are you framing this as if he was a frequent flyer to Eptein's Island ?

I mean he has now confessed to being a Kik user… there’s a *very* specific demographic of men that use that.

Men also interact with Onlyfans models on Kik. Its not just interacting with underage people.

I’m sorry the bar has dropped enough for voters not to care. If the president can be a serial cheater then so can a Democrat.

Glad someone is willing to admit it. Most will make every excuse in the book.

This is as black and white as it gets. He is a liar, and I don’t think he would be anything more than another white man who pointed the finger and denied who he was to get to where he wants to get to.

Remember: Democrats must be pure and perfect. Republicans can point that out in Democrats and double down for their own.

Do not fall for it. No one is perfect and Collins is a proven Trump stooge.
