Sam points out that the times interviewed at least four women.  Only one had anything bad to say about Platner and the rest had only positive things to say about him.  The Times couldn’t collberate the claims of the woman who accused Platner of being physically rough with her.   The woman making the accusations is a republican operative and one of the co-founders of the group Ladies for Kavanaugh.   A group that supports Justice kavanaugh who was very credibly accused of rape.  This woman accusing Platner of abusing women is a longtime Republican operative who helped Susan Collins write the speech she gave supporting Kavanaugh.  She used a lot of the same language in the Times smear article as she has used in in other republican-supporting articles and events.   It seems the majority of the attacks aimed at Platner are being driven / created by centrist  and pro-Israel groups.  These attacks include hints of far more serious crimes to come to light but they can’t substantiate them.  Hugs
