"Peters has repeatedly platformed anti-LGBTQ+ politicians on his broadcasts, referred to transgender people as "tra**y freak shows", and spread misinformation claiming that gay forme"
"Platner's team said it erroneously reposted Peters' message and "immediately" removed it after learning it highlighted a "despicable account," Jewish Insider reported. The incident follows Platner's recent appearance on an antisemitic podcaster's broadcast and the revelation last October that he had a Nazi-themed tattoo that he quickly condemned and reportedly had removed."
""War with Iran is the only thing republicans and democrats have both given a standing ovation for. Let that sink in," Peters wrote in a February 26 post shared by Planter. Planter's repost added, "As always, there's one thing that brings Republican and Democratic politicians together: sending other people's children to die in stupid wars in the Middle East.""
Graham Platner, the Democratic U.S. Senate candidate challenging Maine Senator Susan Collins, reposted a message from Stew Peters, an anti-LGBTQ+ influencer known for spreading baseless accusations and bigoted content. Platner's team claimed the repost was erroneous and removed it immediately upon learning Peters' despicable history. The incident represents another controversy for Platner's campaign, following his recent appearance on an antisemitic podcaster's broadcast and the revelation of a Nazi-themed tattoo he condemned and reportedly removed. The reposted content criticized bipartisan support for Iran policy during the State of the Union address.
