“There are times in this world when, for the good of tolerance and humanity, you need to kill a motherf---er. Sadly most people who are true believers in tolerance and humanity find that activity repulsive. Which I suppose is morally good, but pragmatically a shortfall.”
Graham Platner, Politician
. Comment on Reddit (r/worldnews, as "P-Hustle").
Platner is the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Maine (2026). Written in reply to a thread about antifascists smashing Golden Dawn party offices in Greece. The account is deleted; the comment's text and date are in the Maine Monitor's archive of his Reddit comments.
Apology: General apology for his resurfaced Reddit posts, not this one specifically: "I'm sorry for this. Just know that it's not reflective at all of who I am."
